Volvo S90 B6 Awd
NHTSA safety across every Volvo S90 B6 Awd model year we cover.
Across the 1 model year of the Volvo S90 B6 Awd we cover (2022 to 2022), no year has an NHTSA crash-test score on record. No recalls are on record across those years.
The Volvo S90 B6 AWD is a full-size Swedish luxury sedan competing against the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Aimed at discerning buyers who want understated Scandinavian elegance paired with a mild-hybrid powertrain and all-wheel drive, the S90 positions itself as a safety-forward alternative in a segment where brand heritage and real-world protection both matter.
For the 2022 model year, the Volvo S90 B6 AWD presents a genuinely unusual safety profile: zero recalls and just one owner complaint on record, with that single complaint reporting no crashes, no fires, no injuries, and no fatalities. Those are unverified allegations, and the number is low enough to be statistically unremarkable for any vehicle in this segment. The absence of any recall activity across the covered year is a meaningful positive data point, suggesting that Volvo's engineering and quality-control processes caught nothing serious enough to warrant a federal corrective action. The caveat that shapes the entire picture, however, is that NHTSA did not crash-test the S90 in 2022. We have no star ratings, no Safety Index score, and no federal barrier or pole-impact data to reference. Shoppers should note that IIHS has historically tested S90 variants, so checking that organization's independent results is worthwhile. Volvo's reputation for prioritizing occupant protection is well established at the brand level, and the S90 comes equipped with a suite of active-safety technology as standard, but MotorCaliber can only score what federal data confirms. On the numbers we do have, the 2022 S90 B6 AWD is clean. The absence of crash-test data simply means we cannot complete the full safety picture.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally praise the S90 for its calm, refined cabin atmosphere, high-quality materials, and composed highway ride. The infotainment layout draws occasional criticism for requiring too many steps to reach common functions, but the driving experience is widely described as smooth and unhurried. Most reviewers position the S90 as a strong choice for buyers who prioritize interior refinement and a distinct aesthetic over outright sportiness.
- NHTSA did not crash-test the 2022 S90 B6 AWD, so no federal star ratings or Safety Index score exists for this model year. Shoppers seeking independent crash data should consult IIHS results directly.
- The 2022 S90 B6 AWD carries zero NHTSA recalls across the model year we cover, which is a positive indicator that no safety-critical defect triggered a federal corrective action.
- Only one owner complaint has been filed with NHTSA for this model year, and it reported zero crashes, zero injuries, and zero fatalities. While complaints are unverified allegations, the volume is notably low for a vehicle in this class.
- Because federal crash-test coverage is absent, buyers should weigh Volvo's standard active-safety suite carefully and verify which driver-assistance features are included as standard versus optional on their specific trim before purchase.
