How it scores for you10 scores
Quick, efficient and dripping with Scandinavian style, but the coupe roof squeezes rear space and EV depreciation hits resale hard.
Recalled about half as often as cars of the same model years (over-the-air software recalls count half); none of its 6 recalls were serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted -2 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $700 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 95% of cars we track.
14.6 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 8% of other SUVs we track.
Coupe roofline cuts rear headroom and visibility; fine up front.
Twin-motor 402 hp is properly quick; heavy but tidy, with easy one-pedal driving.
Google built-in infotainment is a genuine strength; OTA updates standard.
Firm-ish ride on big wheels; serene powertrain and typically excellent Volvo seats.
EVs have typically lost value the fastest.
Rated to tow 2,000 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
