User feedback points to reliability as one of the car’s strengths, with many drivers describing it as dependable and a car they can count on. The expert evaluation also says the reliability watchdogs rate the S60 range above average, and that most of the bugs have likely been worked out because Volvo has been building this version for a while. The new powertrains are the main wildcard, so used buyers should pay close attention to service history and maintenance records before committing.

What should I look for when buying a used 2015 Volvo S60?

At 64.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has had bodywork or airbag-related repairs. Focus on overall condition, maintenance documentation, and whether the car’s safety and driver-assistance features still function properly. If you’re comparing multiple listings, the cleanest example with the best records is usually worth the extra effort.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The S60 range includes revised trims, with the T5 Drive-E FWD as the starting point, the T5 AWD, the T6 Drive-E FWD, and the T6 R-Design AWD. The base setup is the most straightforward, while higher trims add more equipment, and the R-Design brings exterior enhancements, a sport chassis, and interior upgrades.
• Powertrain: Front-wheel-drive versions use the new Drive-E 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder with an 8-speed Geartronic automatic, while all-wheel-drive versions continue with proven 5- and 6-cylinder powertrains. The 2.0-liter engine is described as smooth, refined, and quiet, with EPA estimates of 25 mpg city and 37 highway.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes City Safety and Dynamic Stability and Traction Control, while available features include Blind-Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert, Collision Warning with Full Auto Brake, and Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection. Some of these systems are available rather than standard, so check the exact trim and option content on any listing.
• Infotainment: The standard Volvo Sensus Connect system uses a 7-inch screen, and it supports apps, navigation access, Volvo On Call, and a WiFi hotspot. The system also integrates with Bluetooth and smartphone tethering.
• Fuel efficiency: The new 2.0-liter turbocharged engine is rated at 25 mpg city and 37 highway, and the muscular T6 R-Design AWD is rated at 19/28.

Which 2015 Volvo S60 trim should I buy?

The 2015 Volvo S60 is offered in 4 trim levels: T5 Drive-E FWD, T5 AWD, T6 Drive-E FWD, T6 R-Design AWD.

Here's the short version:

• T5 Drive-E FWD: This is the best-value choice if you want the newest engine, the 8-speed automatic, and the strongest efficiency. It gives you the smoothest everyday balance of price, comfort, and fuel economy.
• T5 AWD: Choose this if you want all-wheel drive and prefer the proven 5-cylinder setup. It makes sense if traction matters more to you than maximizing efficiency.
• T6 Drive-E FWD: This is the step up if you want more power from the turbo-and-supercharged Drive-E engine. It suits you if you want stronger acceleration without moving all the way to the sportiest trim.
• T6 R-Design AWD: Pick this if you want the most performance-oriented version, with the highest output, a sport chassis, and interior upgrades. It’s the right call if you want the most aggressive character in the lineup.

Premier and Platinum trims add more equipment, and the safety content notes that some advanced driver-assistance features are available rather than standard.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2015 Volvo S60?

• Deal availability: 30.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 264 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.65% compared with last year.

What is the 2015 Volvo S60's resale value?

The current average of $8,779 sits slightly below last year's $9,937.

That price movement suggests the S60 has softened, which can help you buy at a better entry point today. For a future seller, that also means resale value may be more sensitive to condition, mileage, and maintenance history than to brand prestige alone. If you keep the car well documented and in clean shape, you’ll be in a better position when it’s time to sell.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2015 Volvo S60 safe?

The 2015 Volvo S60 earns a 10/10 safety score from our experts.

Volvo’s standard City Safety system can automatically apply the brakes at speeds below 30 mph, and the car also includes Dynamic Stability and Traction Control with Advanced Stability Control, Corner Traction Control, and a Sport Mode. Available safety tech includes Blind-Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert, Collision Warning with Full Auto Brake, and Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection. That gives you a strong safety foundation, especially if you’re comparing it with other premium sedans.

Should I buy a 2015 Volvo S60 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2015 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2015 if:

• 30.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 64.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.65% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2015.5 update brings a fresh look and new Drive-E engines that breathe new life into the range.

Consider the 2014 if:

• At $8,048, the 2014 costs less than the current year's $8,779 average.
• It offers a different kind of appeal with style, performance, comfort, and safety as core strengths.

The bottom line: If you want the newer update with stronger efficiency, fresher styling, and a better-equipped market, the 2015 is the better default choice. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2014 is the more budget-friendly path and still keeps the S60’s core strengths intact.
