DATANot crash-tested
The 2020 Volvo V60 presents a limited data set for safety evaluation; NHTSA has not conducted crash tests on this model year. Consequently, no star ratings or Safety Index score are available. The federal record does, however, document three recall campaigns and four owner-reported complaints. While this indicates a light burden of post-sale issues, the absence of crash-test data means no definitive conclusion on occupant protection can be drawn from test scores.
The 2020 Volvo V60cc was not crash-tested by NHTSA, carries three recall campaigns, and falls in the Light recall and complaint burden band according to federal NHTSA data.

ANALYSISHow safe is the 2020 Volvo V60cc?
The 2020 Volvo V60's automatic emergency braking system is the subject of one of its three federal safety recalls. This technology is intended as a pre-collision intervention; owners should verify recall remedy status by VIN at nhtsa.gov. The other two recalls address the steering gear assembly and the electrical fuse and circuit breaker circuit. Federal data places the V60 in the Light burden band, indicating a lower combined volume of recalls and owner complaints within its market segment. Over its lifetime, four unverified owner complaints have been filed, none citing crashes, fires, injuries, or fatalities. No other model years for this vehicle have NHTSA crash-test data available for comparison. The Light burden band classification reflects volume only and does not pertain to crash performance.
