"No fatalities ever recorded in a Volvo XC90 in the UK
- Analysis of official figures finds no driver or passenger fatalities have been recorded in Volvo's XC90 since records began in 2004"
Volvo XC90 is a relatively popular SUV there, and for the UK, quite large.
"Around 70,000 XC90s have been sold in the UK since the original model launched in 2002"
I would guess the magic here is:
a) the car is designed with safety as the number 1 design criterium (it's a Volvo)
b) it's quite large (lots of crumple zone mass)
c) it's probably not driven at insanely high speeds by young male drivers with poor impulse control very often.
