How it scores for you10 scores
An elegant, comfortable sport sedan with up to 455 plug-in horsepower; luxury-brand depreciation and middling fuel costs are the price of entry.
Recalled about as often as cars of the same model years (over-the-air software recalls count half); 1 of its 13 recalls was serious. About 9% 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.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $2,600 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 52% of cars we track.
11.6 cu ft of cargo space — among the smallest of the sedans we track.
Adequate rear room; the 11.6 cu ft trunk is the packaging casualty.
T8's 455 hp brings serious pace; a balanced, secure chassis tuned for calm over corners.
Sensus then Google infotainment with Pilot Assist widely fitted; complete if not class-leading.
Outstanding seats and a supple ride; one of the calmer compact luxury sedans.
Luxury brands like Volvo tend to lose value faster than average.
Rated to tow 3,500 lb; all- or four-wheel drive available.
