2022 Volvo S60

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 S60.

Transmission Automatic (S8)

The 2022 Volvo S60 is a compact luxury sedan built on Volvo's Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform, featuring an automatic S8 transmission and achieving EPA fuel economy ratings of 26 mpg city, 35 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined. With only 15 total owner complaints recorded for this model year against a complaint history spanning 2000-2018 that ranged from as high as 238 complaints in 2001 to as low as 1 in 2000, the 2022 S60 shows markedly fewer reported issues, though it has been subject to four recalls with the fuel/propulsion system representing the top complaint area. This places the 2022 model among the lower-complaint years in the vehicle's recorded history, suggesting相对 improved owner-reported reliability compared to earlier iterations, though the limited timeframe for this model year's data and the presence of recalls remain factors for consideration.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 10,000 mi; spark plugs every 60,000 mi; coolant every 10,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 10,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2022 Volvo S60 sits at the low-complaint end of the model's federal record. After the early-2000s generation peaked at 238 complaints and 9 recalls in 2001, reported problems trended downward for years, with the 2011–2018 span showing a final drop from 121 complaints in 2012 to just 4 complaints and 1 recall by 2018. For 2022 specifically, the federal data shows only a handful of complaint entries—two related to the fuel/propulsion system and one each spanning air bags/seat belts and the multi-system "unknown or other/lane departure/back over prevention" category—with zero crash-related and zero fire-related complaints. The data does not specify root causes for these 2022 entries, and no recalls, investigations, or TSB counts are provided for the target year in this record. Relative to the generation's history, 2022 appears to continue the recent pattern of very low owner-reported problems. For a used-car buyer, this makes the 2022 S60 a comparatively attractive year to consider, provided a normal pre-purchase inspection and service-history review confirm clean maintenance.
