The factory battery in my 2007 S60R lasted just under 10 years, and I thought that was remarkable. Much more expensive than an auto store battery though but you get what you pay for I guess
I just replaced my 2012 Volvo XC 60 battery. The car has 155k miles and the battery lasted for over 13 yrs. I drive in cold weather for over 6months/yr.
a very good 6 speed automatic transmission
Didn’t even have to replace the battery in that time (11 years).
My XC60 wipers work perfectly before and after a windscreen change.
Had both rear brake calipers seize up on mine so have a look at them and check that they're in good nick. That can happen on any car though, so it's not specific to this Volvo, but worth checking before it leaves you stranded like mine did.
engine wise they did better piston rings as the previous years engines had an issue with them.
I had an Volvo XC90 hybrid. The car is ok, but the battery/motor part is garbage. It has a 10kwh battery, but can only drive for 18 miles on battery, the energy efficiency is way low than my model X.
I have a V60 T8 and I absolutely despise the wipers. The automatic function is completely worthless. But the biggest problem is that the wipers don't actually wipe very well. Very streaky, even with new blades and a spotless windshield. And the wash function does nothing.
I took my brand new 2025 XC40 Ultra in for a voluntary safety recall for an intermittent rear view camera not available issue this Friday morning. The software update failed, they gave me no explanation, and now my car is in the shop until at least Monday with no reassurance when I’ll get it back. The software and support has been disappointing to say the least.
