What does a club with only 66 members in a decade mean for Volvo？

The miracle of the rear-end truck survived, and the owners of the four-car series of rear-end collisions escaped unscathed?! If it weren’t for the four owners who had experienced the major accident and Luo Xiang, Xu Zhiyuan, Luo Yonghao, and Gao Yuanyuan, it would be hard to believe that these were real things. And these "miracle" scenes all originated from an owner’s club called the "Miracle of Life Club", whose members were all Volvo owners who drove Volvos and survived major traffic accidents due to Volvo’s comprehensive safety protection.

Only 66 members have been "recruited" in 10 years. Why is the threshold for the Miracle of Life Club so high?

China’s "Miracle of Life Club" has been officially established for ten years, but there are only 66 members. For Volvo brands that have more than 1 million in China, the club threshold of only 66 people is obviously not low. The root cause of the high threshold of the Miracle of Life Club is that Volvo’s safety configuration that protects its teeth is "responsible".

We all know that in the vast majority of brand models, the safety configuration is differentiated according to the class of the model. Often in the entry version of the model, the safety configuration is also entry-level. If you want to make the vehicle "fully armed", sorry, please add money to the top. This has also led to the hype of safety features advertised in advertisements, which are actually "just take a look" for the vast majority of users.

In Volvo’s values, there is no distinction between high and low life, and safety should be treated equally. Take the XC90 as an example, the whole car series comes standard with a five-level safety system. For example, the intelligent driving auxiliary features that are only available in the top models of other brands are all "basic standard" on the Volvo XC90.

These configurations act like an invisible safety shield, keeping hazards out of the cockpit. For example, the City Safety urban intelligent safety system on the XC90 can not only accurately identify vehicles, pedestrians and large animals on the road 24 hours a day, reducing the risk of collision, but also has the automatic braking function at full speed in crisis situations. In the words of a four-car serial rear-end collision owner in the Life Miracle Club, the car has stopped before he realizes it. Imagine if there is no active safety standard in all systems, the result may be different.

Therefore, taking a Volvo car and experiencing a major accident is itself a highly unlikely event.

Tragic scene miracle escape, why is Volvo’s car so hard?

If you think that the experience of members of the Miracle of Life Club is "survivorship bias", then you are very wrong. Recently, the media specially pulled a Volvo XC90, faced a 15-ton truck and an SUV, and conducted a series of rear-end tests at 50 kilometers per hour. In the end, the Volvo XC90 cockpit caught in the middle did not deform significantly, the A-pillar hardly bent, and the four doors could be easily opened, fully verifying the safety of Volvo.

The reason why Volvo is known as synonymous with the safest car in the world is not by blowing it out, but by "rolling" it out. In the field of safety, Volvo says that it is the king of rolling, and no one should dispute it.

In terms of safety technology development, Volvo adheres to strict self-requirements and is at least 12-18 months ahead of its nearest competitors. When others use 65 kilometers per hour for impact tests, Volvo uses 80 kilometers per hour for testing.

Take the XC90, for example, with 33% high-strength boron steel to create an indestructible frame. The tensile strength of boron steel can reach up to 1300-1600Mpa, and it can withstand more than 10 tons of pressure per square centimeter, which is 3-4 times that of ordinary steel. This means that on 1 square centimeter of boron steel, it can carry the weight of two elephants. This is why Volvo cars are called "fortresses on the move".

In the car safety anti-collision function, the whole system is equipped with 7 airbags, which quickly expand a more three-dimensional safety protection layer in the event of danger. The significance of airbags for car safety is needless to say, more airbags mean more comprehensive protection.

In addition to these conventional protective measures, the Volvo XC90 is also equipped with the WHIPS head and neck protection system. When the vehicle is hit from the rear, the upper part of the body and head can be gently and evenly supported and protected, reducing the damage to the spine and neck under strong impact force. In the event of a frontal collision, the brake pedal will collapse along with the bursting of the front airbag, effectively reducing the damage to the driver’s legs.

In addition to safety and anti-collision protection, Volvo Cars also embraces users with a low zero-to-zero ratio and a burden index. For car buyers, a low zero-to-zero ratio means lower repair costs. For example, the XC90 has a zero-to-zero ratio of 342.00% and a burden index of 13.48, both of which are the lowest in the same class of tested models. Especially in terms of the single-piece zero-to-whole ratio of commonly used accessories, such as headlights, hood and trunk cover, the XC90 also has the lowest single-piece zero-to-whole ratio in the same class of tested models. Volvo is the only luxury car that is safe and anti-collision and inexpensive to repair.

Safety was the prerequisite for all travel. Under Volvo’s protection, only 66 members of the Life Miracle Club had been welcomed in 10 years. Of course, Volvo’s vision did not stop there.
