ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Volvo Xc90 B6?
The 2024 Volvo XC90 B6 exhibits a zero-recall outcome for this model year, a notable achievement in a segment frequently marked by recall activity. This fact directly supports the vehicle's near-perfect defect record component score of 18.25 out of 20, contributing to an overall Safety Index of 94/100. This places the 2024 model firmly in the "Exceptional" band, despite a two-point dip from the 2023 model year's 96/100. The vehicle's strong Safety Index is anchored by robust crash protection, which accounts for 66 out of a possible 70 points. Avoidance technology earns a full 10 out of 10 points, with forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control all included as standard equipment. However, 30 owner complaints introduce a point of concern. Of these, 15 allege issues with the Electrical System, representing half of all complaints on file. While these allegations are unverified, their concentration within a single system suggests an area for continued monitoring as the complaint record for this model year develops.
