Volvo Safety Features Explained: Why They’re Still Ahead of the Game

Posted on the 21/07/2025

Volvo has always led the way in automotive safety. From pioneering the three-point seatbelt to today’s advanced driver assist systems, Volvo vehicles are designed with one goal in mind: protecting the people inside. At Corner Garage Volvo, we often get asked what makes Volvo so safe. The answer lies in a mix of intelligent design and cutting-edge technology.

  • City Safety: Automatically brakes for pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles
  • Pilot Assist: Semi-autonomous driving that helps steer, accelerate, and brake
  • Blind Spot Information System (BLIS): Alerts you to hidden dangers during lane changes
  • Run-Off Road Protection: Helps keep you safe during off-road or collision scenarios
  • Cross Traffic Alert: Warns you of approaching vehicles when reversing

These features are often included even in used models — especially those from recent years. That means when you buy a Volvo, you’re investing in the safety of yourself and your passengers, no matter the car’s age. If you want peace of mind on the road, a Volvo from Corner Garage is a smart choice. Visit us to explore our latest stock and test out some of these safety features for yourself.

I’m the one in the background keeping everyone organised. I work part time but if you call, I might be the one booking your service or arranging a Volvo test drive.

I’ve worked here for a very long time and so I know the business inside and out, keeping an eye on all the paperwork, advertising, and social media.

Mechanical Technician

I’ve been at Corner Garage for 25 years and tackled just about every issue a Volvo can throw my way. Whether you need a routine service, or a complex fault takes you off the road, I use my expertise to get you going quickly and safely.

We’re a friendly bunch so I’m not always hiding under a car. When you come in, you can meet the person working on your car, that’s me or Paul. And you’ll often find me speaking to customers, running diagnostics, or pitching in to get the job done.

If one of those warning light flashes up on your dashboard, I’m the man you need. I’ve worked at Corner Garage for just over 10 years, working out your nagging car problems and fixing them.

I love working in a family run business, there are no targets like the big dealerships, what matters here is taking care of our customers. I’ve known some of our customers for years, and I’m always around for a bit of advice on their Volvo.

Head of Garage

I took over Corner Garage in 2024, bringing my 35 years of experience in the motoring industry. Born and raised in Preston, I now spend a lot of time travelling the UK to source the best Volvos for our customers. When I’m not at the garage, I’m running Naze Lane Garage in Freckleton or acting as unofficial chauffeur for my kids.

I believe in doing things properly - no hidden charges, no dodgy cars, no pressure, and straightforward advice. I get a lot of satisfaction from finding high-quality cars and keeping them on the road.
