It's mostly marketing, the Volvo is no safer in crash tests and real world survivability than the competition, namely BMW and Mercedes, I havn't compared other names. Infact all three scored almost identically in the crash tests, but Volvo had a slightly higher fatality rate than the other 2 in the sumary I read probably 5 years ago. As I recall Volvo stole quite a few of its safty features from the safty pioneers BMW and Mercedes.
