Is the 2015 Volvo S60 reliable?

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

At 63.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle-history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has had bodywork or suspension repairs. Focus on condition, maintenance records, and whether the car’s equipment matches the trim you expect.

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 trim adds exterior enhancements, a Sport chassis, and interior upgrades, while Premier and Platinum trims add more equipment. Base configurations can be relatively simple compared with higher trims.
• Powertrain: The new Drive-E 2.0-liter 4-cylinder is smooth, refined, and quiet, and the 8-speed automatic is a good match. AWD versions continue with proven 5- and 6-cylinder powertrains, and the T6 models bring more power if you want stronger acceleration.
• Safety package: Standard City Safety is included, along with Dynamic Stability and Traction Control. Available driver-assistance tech includes Blind-Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert, Collision Warning with Full Auto Brake, and Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection. Some of this equipment is available rather than standard.
• Infotainment: The standard Sensus Connect system uses a 7-inch screen. It includes apps support, Volvo On Call with a WiFi hotspot, and available navigation.
• Fuel efficiency: The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is rated at 25 mpg city/37 highway, and the more 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, and 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 engine, strong fuel economy, and the core S60 experience without paying for extra performance or luxury add-ons.
• T5 AWD: Choose this if you want all-wheel drive and the proven 5-cylinder setup, especially if traction matters more to you than maximum efficiency.
• T6 Drive-E FWD: This is the step up if you want more power from the turbo- and supercharged Drive-E engine and are willing to pay more for stronger performance.
• T6 R-Design AWD: This is the most performance-focused choice, with the most power, a Sport chassis, and the most aggressive appearance and interior upgrades.

Safety content notes that Volvo’s City Safety is standard, while several other driver-assistance features are available rather than standard.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but still move quickly on the right car.

• Deal availability: 32.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 265 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.70% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 63.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $8,885, 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 $8,913 sits slightly below last year's $9,981.

That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can make the car easier to buy now but may also limit near-term upside for a future seller. If you plan to resell later, the current trend implies you should be realistic about depreciation rather than expecting a quick rebound.

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 Top Safety Pick+ rating from IIHS.

It earns a 10/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard safety equipment includes City Safety, Dynamic Stability and Traction Control, Advanced Stability Control, Corner Traction Control, and a Sport Mode. Available driver-assistance tech includes Blind-Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert, Collision Warning with Full Auto Brake, and Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection.

Volvo’s safety focus is a major strength here, and the available active-safety systems are a big part of that appeal.

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:

• 32.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 63.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.70% 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 give the range new life.

Consider the 2014 if:

• At $8,230, the 2014 costs less than the current year's $8,913 average.
• It blends style, performance, comfort, and top-notch safety.

The bottom line: You should lean toward the 2015 if you want the fresher update, stronger market selection, and the newer Drive-E powertrains. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2014 is the better value play, especially if you find one with a clean history and strong maintenance records.
