    Comparison to all vehicles.  This plot shows RSC safety scores on the horizontal axis vs. the number of vehicles with each safety score (depicted by bar height and percentages at the bottom). Colors reflect vehicle safety, ranging from red (not that safe) to green (safer). For reference, a score of 0 implies a 0.15% chance of driver death (13% chance of driver injury) over 15 years, and a score of 100 reflects a 0.016% chance (1.4% chance of driver injury). The 2022 Volvo XC90 Recharge has a score of 92, implying a 0.026% chance of driver death (2.4% chance of injury).

    We estimate that the 2022 Volvo XC90 Recharge has a vehicle lifetime fatality chance of 0.0263% and a vehicle lifetime injury chance of 3.0037%, meaning the average driver has a 0.0263% chance of dying in an accident if they drive the car under regular conditions for fifteen years, and a 3.0037% chance of being injured.

    Compared to the average vehicle, the 2022 Volvo XC90 Recharge is 44% less likely to result in a fatal accident. Compared to other suvs, the 2022 Volvo XC90 Recharge is 35% less likely to result in a fatal accident.

    Volvo's IntelliSafe active safety features can protect loved ones by reducing accident severity and preventing accidents. All trims and versions of the 2022 Volvo XC90 Recharge include the following active safety systems: Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Lane Departure Warning System, and Blind Spot Information System (BLIS).

    Some advanced safety features --- while not cutting edge --- can still improve vehicle safety. Optional Cornering Headlights / Leveling Head Lamps better illuminate the road ahead --- the lights point towards the direction that the vehicle is heading. Standard Automatic High Beams automatically switches high beam headlights off when oncoming traffic is approaching and turns them back on when there aren't any vehicles ahead. Standard side mirror turn signals can help when you don't see a vehicle in your blind spot, by alerting them to your intention to switch lanes, which allows the other driver to avoid an accident with you.

    But it is about as safe as many comparable models.
