Is the Volvo XC60 a good car?

What should I look for when buying a used Volvo XC60?

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 86.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2019 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: Pilot Assist, adaptive cruise control with lane-centering assist, forward-collision warning that identifies large animals, pedestrians, and cyclists, oncoming collision mitigation braking, and intersection braking assist.
• Infotainment: A larger, high-resolution 11.2-inch touchscreen display with Volvo Car UX, Google built-in, Google Maps, Google Assistant, Google Gemini, and Google Play.
• Fuel efficiency: The official EPA rating is 26 mpg in combined driving, but on a sunny 88-degree day, the XC60 T5 returned 24.7 mpg on our Southern California fuel-economy loop. On the extended mountainous vehicle evaluation route, we saw 21.7 mpg.

Which Volvo XC60 trim should I buy?

The 2026 Volvo XC60 offers these trims:

• Core: The entry trim starts the lineup and gives you the XC60’s premium cabin, standard safety tech, and the new 11.2-inch touchscreen with Volvo Car UX.
• Plus: A smart step up if you want more comfort and convenience while staying close to the XC60’s core value.
• Ultra: The best-value trim, since it adds the sumptuously outfitted cabin, plush Nappa leather, premium wood trim, classy metal speaker grilles, and the kind of upscale feel that defines the XC60.
• Black Edition: Choose this if you want the Ultra’s equipment with a darker, more distinctive appearance.

What Volvo XC60 do most buyers choose?
