ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Volvo Xc90 Recharge?
The 2024 Volvo XC90 Recharge achieves a perfect 5-star rating from NHTSA in every crash test category: overall, frontal, and side impact. This strong performance, combined with an unblemished recall record, underpins its Safety Index of 94 out of 100, placing it in the Exceptional band. The vehicle’s crash protection is rated at 66 out of 70, and its avoidance technology scores a perfect 10 out of 10. The defect record score of 18.25 out of 20 directly reflects the absence of any recall campaigns for this model year. The only measurable area not achieving the highest rating is the rollover assessment, which earned 4 out of 5 stars, with a 16 percent rollover risk. This specific detail may be a consideration for certain buyers. While the 2024 model lacks a prior-year Safety Index for comparative analysis, its current standing is clear. The 30 owner complaints filed for this model year are a modest figure for its class. However, the concentration of 15 alleged Electrical System issues and 3 alleged Forward Collision Avoidance concerns warrants attention, as these systems are integral to the vehicle's safety framework. It is important to note these are consumer allegations and not confirmed defects.
