Small overlap front
The small overlap front evaluation consists of a driver-side and a passenger-side component. If the results of the two evaluations differ, then the combined small overlap rating is equal to the lower rating.
Driver-side
- Rating applies to 2019-25 models
Tested vehicle: 2019 Volvo XC40 T5 Momentum 4-door 4wd
The Volvo XC40 was introduced in the 2019 model year.

The dummy's position in relation to the door frame, steering wheel, and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space was maintained very well.
![](/api/ratings/images/4904.jpg?w=480)
The frontal and side curtain airbags worked well together to keep the head from coming close to any stiff structure or outside objects that could cause injury.

The driver's space was maintained well, and risk of injuries to the dummy's legs and feet was low.
Passenger-side
- Rating applies to 2019-25 models
Tested vehicle: 2019 Volvo XC40 T5 4-door 4wd
The Volvo XC40 was introduced in the 2019 model. Passenger-side small overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Volvo.

The rear passenger dummy's head remained a safe distance from the front seatback.
![](/api/ratings/images/6002.jpg?w=480)
Rear passenger dummy injury values indicate a low risk of injury to the head or neck and chest. During the crash, the shoulder belt remained in an ideal position on the dummy’s chest.
