ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Volvo Xc60 Recharge?
Zero recall campaigns define the 2024 Volvo XC60 Recharge's federal safety profile. This absence of recalls contributes to an exceptional Safety Index score of 94 out of 100. The defect record component of the index rates 17.75 out of 20, directly benefiting from this clean recall history. Crash protection accounts for 66 of a possible 70 points in the overall index. Avoidance technology earns a perfect 10 out of 10, reflecting the standard inclusion of forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control. The sole structural limitation in its crash-test data is a four-star rollover rating, preventing a perfect crash protection score. A 13 percent rollover risk is the specific figure reported for this model. While a year-over-year comparison is not possible due to the lack of prior index data, the absolute score is distinct. Owner complaints total 21, a modest volume. Among these, six concern the electrical system and four involve back-over prevention. These specific categories warrant attention for potential future NHTSA investigation.
