Enhanced peace of mind.
Surrounded by security

Enter the safeguarded zone. By advanced armouring, we provide officials and special customers with the protection they need.


Exceptional protection

Now our SUVs provide certified ballistic protection in accordance with the strict standard of NIJ 0108.01 and NBR 15,000 level III-A, produced by Carbon Armored , the largest armor company in the country. This makes these cars the perfect choice for people who need extra protection, as well as for security services, among other special applications. You can enjoy exceptional protection whilst maintaining comfort, safety and driving characteristics – in a genuine Scandinavian SUV, built and armored to Volvo Cars' highest standards.


Discreet Elegance

Elegant and distinctive Scandinavian design means our vehicles do not attract unnecessary attention. All shielding solutions, such as reinforced window glass, are elegantly integrated and almost invisible from the outside.


Ballistic Certification

The complete vehicle is certified according to the standards of the American standard NIJ 0108.01 and also the Brazilian standard NBR 15.000 for level III-A. Volvo Cars guarantees functionality in all parts and safety systems. Our certification shows the exhaustive quality of the shielding process; Ballistics tests were done on real, fully armored vehicles using different angles and are certified by the German ballistic testing authority Beschussamt Ulm.
