How it scores for you10 scores
Perfect five-star crash scores and long-haul comfort make a strong used-luxury case; the 12-cubic-foot trunk and snug rear seat do not.
Recalled somewhat less often than cars of the same model years; none of its 6 recalls were serious. About 8% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted -1 point for its wider reputation.
5-star overall NHTSA crash rating (frontal 5, side 5, rollover 5).
About $2,150 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 67% of cars we track.
12 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 2% of other sedans we track.
Snug rear-seat legroom and a small 12 cu ft trunk trail the class.
Drive-E turbos are brisk and Polestar versions genuinely rapid; the chassis is secure more than playful.
Pioneering City Safety active tech; the Sensus interface felt dated by mid-generation.
Signature Volvo seats among the best anywhere; a quiet, compliant cruiser.
Luxury brands like Volvo tend to lose value faster than average.
Rated to tow 3,500 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
