Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 S60.
The 2025 Volvo S60 represents the current evolution of Volvo's compact executive sedan, pairing an efficient powertrain with the brand's signature safety-forward design philosophy; the model achieves EPA fuel economy ratings of 27 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined when equipped with its standard 8-speed automatic transmission. This model year enters the market carrying 27 documented owner complaints—predominantly centered on visibility and wiper system concerns—alongside three associated recalls, suggesting specific areas warranting prospective buyers' attention during pre-purchase inspection. Looking at the S60's complaint history from 2000 through 2018, reported issues have ranged dramatically from a high of 238 complaints in 2001 to a low of just one in 2000, indicating that while early-generation models experienced significant quality concerns, the nameplate has demonstrated substantial improvement in owner satisfaction over its production run.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The federal record provided spans 2000–2018, covering two prior S60 generations, and shows a clear decline in complaints from a peak of 238 in 2001 to 4 in 2018. The 2025 model year is not represented in the year-by-year data, so its position in that historical trend cannot be determined. For 2025, the data reports 5 complaints each for Visibility/Wiper and Back Over Prevention, 2 each for Electrical System and Forward Collision Avoidance, plus 1 crash complaint and no fire complaints. These figures are low in absolute terms but lack context without comparable early-year data for the current generation. Consequently, the federal record does not yet allow a reliability judgment for the 2025 S60 relative to its own generation’s trajectory. Buyers should treat this as an early-data year and monitor NHTSA updates before purchase.
