Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 XC60.
The 2025 Volvo XC60 is defined mechanically by an Automatic (S8) transmission and EPA fuel economy ratings of 23/30/26 mpg. Reliability data for this model year indicates 27 total owner complaints and 3 recalls, with visibility and wiper issues identified as the top complaint area.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2025 Volvo XC60 sits outside the year-by-year federal arc provided, which captures the 2009–2017 first generation rather than the current model year, so any generational trend read applies only as historical context. Within that 2009–2017 window, complaints peaked at 66 in 2013 and drifted downward thereafter, recalls were most aggressive in 2010 at 7, and TSB activity climbed steadily to a high of 353 in 2016 — a profile consistent with a platform that accumulated service-campaign volume as it matured but gradually stabilized on the complaint side. The 2025 record itself is comparatively quiet, with no open investigations, 0 fire complaints, and just 1 crash complaint, while the leading issue areas are Visibility/Wiper (5) and Back Over Prevention (5), followed by a small cluster of electrical and forward-collision-avoidance entries; the supplied data does not specify the underlying root causes for any of these. The fact that 2025's leading categories are low-volume driver-assistance and visibility items rather than powertrain or fire-related defects is a favorable signal relative to the older generation's earlier recall-heavy years. The takeaway: based solely on the federal record provided, the 2025 model year is a defensible used-buy candidate with no obvious systemic red flags, though a pre-purchase inspection of the wiper and rearview camera systems is warranted given their dominance in the file.
