The expert review also points to strong value and notes that the reliability watchdogs rate the S60 range above average. The powertrains are the main wildcard for used buyers, so a careful service-history check matters.

The car’s long-term ownership risk is manageable if you verify maintenance records and focus on condition, especially around the newer engines.

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

At 65.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle-history report and confirm whether any prior damage was repaired properly. A pre-purchase inspection is worth prioritizing, especially if you’re comparing multiple listings with similar prices. Focus on overall condition, maintenance records, and signs of deferred upkeep rather than just mileage alone.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The S60 range includes the T5 Drive-E FWD, T5 AWD, T6 Drive-E FWD, and T6 R-Design AWD. The R-Design adds exterior enhancements, a sport chassis, and interior upgrades, while Premier and Platinum trims add more equipment. Base configurations can be light on extras compared with higher trims.
• Powertrain: The Drive-E 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder is smooth, refined, and quiet, with an 8-speed automatic that suits everyday driving well. AWD versions use proven 5- and 6-cylinder powertrains, and the T6 models bring more power if you want stronger acceleration.
• Safety package: Standard City Safety can automatically brake at speeds below 30 mph, and available driver assistance includes BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert, Collision Warning with Full Auto Brake, and Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection. Some of these features are available rather than standard, so check the exact trim.
• Infotainment: The standard Sensus Connect system uses a 7-inch screen, and Volvo On Call is standard with a WiFi hotspot. The system supports apps and can integrate with smartphone connections, while navigation is available.
• Fuel efficiency: The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is rated at 25 mpg city and 37 highway, while the more powerful 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, and T6 R-Design AWD.

Here's the short version:

• T5 Drive-E FWD: This is the best-value choice if you want the newest engine, strong fuel economy, and the smoothest everyday driving experience without paying for extra performance.
• T5 AWD: Choose this if you want all-wheel drive and the security of the proven 5-cylinder setup, especially if you drive in poor weather.
• T6 Drive-E FWD: Pick this if you want the strongest front-wheel-drive performance in the lineup and are willing to spend more for extra power.
• T6 R-Design AWD: This is the sportiest version, with the most power plus the R-Design appearance, sport chassis, and interior upgrades.

Safety content also notes that City Safety is standard, while other advanced driver-assistance features are available depending on trim.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so it makes sense to shop carefully and compare listings.

• Deal availability: 33.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 266 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.07% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 65.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $8,826, 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 $8,826 sits slightly below last year's $10,037.

That softer pricing suggests the model has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation, which can help future buyers. If you buy well now and keep the car in strong condition, you may be starting from a more favorable entry point than a year ago. The current market also suggests there is still demand, but resale will depend heavily on maintenance history and overall condition.

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?

The 2015 Volvo S60 earns a 10/10 safety score from our experts.

Volvo’s standard City Safety system can automatically apply the brakes at speeds below 30 mph, and the car also includes Dynamic Stability and Traction Control with Advanced Stability Control, Corner Traction Control, and Sport Mode. Available safety tech includes Blind-Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert, Collision Warning with Full Auto Brake, and Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection.

That combination makes safety one of the S60’s strongest selling points, but you should still confirm which driver-assistance features are fitted on the specific car you’re considering.

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:

• 33.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 65.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.07% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2015.5 update brings a fresh look and new Drive-E engines that breathe new life into the range.

Consider the 2014 if:

• At $8,139, the 2014 costs less than the current year's $8,826 average.
• It offers a different kind of appeal with style, performance, comfort, and core safety strength.

The bottom line: If you want the newer look, updated engines, and stronger market value, the 2015 is the better all-around pick. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2014 is the more budget-friendly alternative and still keeps the S60’s core strengths intact.
