2023 Volvo XC60

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2023 XC60.

Transmission Automatic (S8)

The 2023 Volvo XC60 routes power through an S8 automatic transmission and returns EPA fuel economy of 23 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 26 mpg combined. Owner data so far shows 49 complaints alongside five recalls, with the largest share of reported issues categorized as "Unknown or Other" — a label that makes pinpointing systemic trouble difficult. Against the model's tracked complaint history from 2009 through 2017, which peaked at 66 complaints in 2013 before dropping to a low of 14 in 2017, the 2023's early volume sits well above that best year, suggesting this model year warrants close monitoring as more data accumulates.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 10,000 mi; spark plugs every 60,000 mi; coolant every 10,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 10,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The provided federal record tracks the early lifecycle of this generation from 2009 to 2017, showing a maturation arc where complaints spiked to 66 in 2013 and recalls hit 7 in 2010, before tapering off to 14 complaints and 4 recalls by 2017. Because the historical data ends in 2017, the 2023 target year falls outside this early-generation arc, and the dataset does not specify the federal records for the immediate years before or after it. However, for the 2023 model year specifically, the record indicates a relatively low complaint volume concentrated in "Unknown Or Other" (7), "Service Brakes" (4), and "Electrical System" (4) categories, alongside just 2 crash complaints and 0 fire complaints. The data does not specify the root cause of these issues, but the absence of fire complaints suggests the failures are non-catastrophic. Given the 2023 model's low complaint volume and zero fire incidents, it remains a favorable used buy, though buyers should ensure the brake and electrical systems receive a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
