Saab cars are frequently ranked among the best in the
world in various safety surveys. Yet our safety work
is much more than award-winning. It focuses on what
actually happens on the road in real-life conditions.
After all, our job is to protect real people, not just
dummies in a laboratory. This philosophy has led to a
range of safety innovations over the years. The most
important result of all, however, is the impressive safety
of our cars. Out on the road.
