Overview

2022 Volvo XC60

The 2022 Volvo XC60 offers a compelling blend of Scandinavian design and modern technology, but used car shoppers should proceed with caution. Its premium interior and advanced safety features are attractive, yet a significant number of complaints, particularly concerning the electrical system and infotainment, coupled with multiple recalls, point to potential ownership challenges. The vehicle's 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine provides adequate power, and its all-wheel-drive system enhances capability. However, the prevalence of early-life electronic issues suggests a need for thorough pre-purchase inspection.

Critical Failure Risk

The most frequent complaint involves the electrical system, encompassing infotainment glitches, system reboots, battery drain, and failure to start. These issues often manifest early in the vehicle's life and can impact critical functions.

Early detection can help you avoid a $500-$2,000 repair.
