Is the 2015 Volvo S60 a good car?

Generally — the 2015 Volvo S60 earns a 4/5 user rating and an 8.33/10 expert rating, which points to broad appeal for shoppers who want something a little different in the premium-sedan class. The model scores 10/10 across Technology and Safety.

Owners repeatedly praise its safety features, fuel economy, and driving comfort, and they also describe it as having a luxury feel. The overview also frames it as a distinctive sedan that keeps its identity while feeling updated, which fits buyers who want a premium car with personality rather than a generic luxury badge.

With 27.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively while still finding attractive pricing.

Is the 2015 Volvo S60 reliable?

Owners rate it 4/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback points to reliability and a car that many owners feel good about living with over time, while also noting that some buyers remain cautious because of past engine-reliability concerns in earlier models. The expert evaluation also describes the reliability watchdogs as rating the range above average, and it notes that the car has been built long enough that many bugs should already be worked out.

The new powertrains are the main long-term ownership wildcard, so a used example with clean maintenance records is the safer path.

What should I look for when buying a used 2015 Volvo S60?

At 65.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle-history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has had bodywork or shows uneven panel gaps, tire wear, or paint mismatch. Focus on overall condition and maintenance records, since the model’s appeal depends heavily on how well it has been kept up.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The S60 range includes a starting T5 Drive-E FWD, a T5 AWD, a T6 Drive-E FWD, and a T6 R-Design AWD. The R-Design adds exterior enhancements, a sport chassis, and interior upgrades, while Premier and Platinum trims add more equipment; the base setup is the one most likely to leave you wanting more features.
• Powertrain: You get new Drive-E engines with 8-speed Geartronic automatic transmissions in FWD versions, while AWD versions continue with proven 5- and 6-cylinder powertrains. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is described as smooth, refined, quiet, and efficient.
• Safety package: Standard City Safety is included, and available driver-assistance tech includes BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert, Collision Warning with Full Auto Brake, and Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection. Some of this equipment is available rather than standard, so trim choice matters.
• Infotainment: The standard Sensus Connect system uses a 7-inch screen, supports apps, and includes Volvo On Call with a WiFi hotspot. Navigation is available, and the system supports smartphone integration through Bluetooth.
• Fuel efficiency: The new 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is rated at 25 mpg city/37 highway, and the muscular T6 R-Design AWD is rated at 19/28.

Which 2015 Volvo S60 trim should I buy?

The 2015 Volvo S60 is offered in 4 trim levels: T5 Drive-E FWD, T5 AWD, T6 Drive-E FWD, T6 R-Design AWD.

Here's the short version:

• T5 Drive-E FWD: This is the best-value starting point if you want the updated Drive-E powertrain, strong fuel economy, and the core S60 experience without paying for extra performance or luxury add-ons.
• T5 AWD: Choose this if you want the security of all-wheel drive and prefer the proven 5-cylinder setup over the newer front-drive engine.
• T6 Drive-E FWD: This is the pick if you want more power from the turbo- and supercharged Drive-E engine and are willing to spend more for stronger acceleration.
• T6 R-Design AWD: This is the most performance-focused choice, with the most power plus the R-Design’s exterior, chassis, and interior upgrades.

Safety equipment is a strong point across the range, but some advanced driver-assistance features remain available rather than standard, so check the exact build carefully.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2015 Volvo S60?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 27.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 290 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.60% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 65.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $9,254.15, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2015 Volvo S60's resale value?

The current average of $9,280 sits slightly below last year's $10,617.

That decline suggests the model has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation, which can be helpful if you buy now and plan to own it for a while. If you keep the car in strong condition and maintain it well, you may be better positioned than a buyer who pays closer to the upper end of the range.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2015 Volvo S60 safe?

It earns 10/10 safety score from our experts.

Volvo’s standard City Safety system is designed to help in stop-and-go traffic by automatically applying the brakes at speeds below 30 mph to avoid a collision. The safety suite also includes Dynamic Stability and Traction Control, Advanced Stability Control, Corner Traction Control, and a Sport Mode, while available features include BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert, Collision Warning with Full Auto Brake, and Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection.

That combination makes safety one of the S60’s defining strengths, and it’s a major reason the car appeals to buyers who want a premium sedan with a strong security focus.

Should I buy a 2015 Volvo S60 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2015 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2015 if:

• 27.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 65.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.60% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2015.5 update brings fresh styling and new Drive-E engines that modernize the S60 range.

Consider the 2014 if:

• At $8,357, the 2014 costs less than the current year's $9,280 average.
• It offers a distinctive alternative with style, performance, comfort, and safety.

The bottom line: If you want the newer-feeling S60 with updated engines and stronger market pricing, the 2015 is the better default choice. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2014 is the value-oriented alternative worth a look.
