Strongly considering the new Volvo XC90 as it is the safest family vehicle I can think of, looks good inside out as well.
People who own Volvos, can you comment on the typical Volvo maintenance? Is it expensive to maintain like BMWs?

I currently own a 09 bmw328i and averaging 1500$ in maintenance per year for last 3 years.

$1500 is pretty typical for a car.

  BS. my 20 years old car didn't have so much maintenance cost. it was a Subaru. BMW is a good rip off. Expensive to buy and expensive to maintain.

  It's probably more than $1500 for a BMW, then.

The safest vehicle is a minivan:

To the people inside, SUVs are similar in safety to good quality compact and subcompact cars such as the Jetta (cheap compact cars make the whole category look worse). SUVs are more harmful to the people in the other vehicle involved in the accident, though.

So: you don't gain anything in safety for yourself, and you may hurt other people.

Plus, SUVs are ostentatious.

Plus-plus, Volvo has some good-looking wagons.

  I have a V60 and have been very happy with it. Like BMW, maintenance is covered the first few years. When I bought mine they had a promo that added a few years on top. Any luxury/near luxury brand is going to cost more in maintenance than a Honda/Toyota so if you keep it more than a few years it'll hit you eventually. My sense is Volvo is probably on average amongst that tier of cars.

Teslas already have great crash ratings (I think 5 stars), then when you add autopilot they're supposed to be 10x safer than a normal car. Not sure if autopilot has reached that level yet, but it's probably already 2-3x safer.

  Apparently the Model X hasn't been crash tested yet, but it's expected to do well. The Model S is known to be one of the safest cars (5 stars in every category). http://electrek.co/2016/03/07/tesla-flip-model-x-crash-tests-safety/

I was considering it too, but will have to wait. did you do a test drive? how does it compare to say Audi Q5/Q7?

  OP
  
  yes, i did. its ofcourse not as sporty as X5 but is very composed and comfortable, good enough for a family hauler.

Tesla's are the safest cars available. equal in rating to a few other cars, they are ahead in safe driving automation.
