2015 Volvo V60 Cross Country — V60

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2015 V60 Cross Country V60.

Body PASSENGER CAREngine V60

The 2015 Volvo V60 Cross Country is built on Volvo’s versatile passenger‑car platform and is powered by the brand’s V60‑family engine, which requires 5.8 quarts of oil and runs on 0W‑30 or 5W‑30 viscosity grades. Its chassis combines the comfort of a wagon with modest off‑road capability, while the modest oil capacity reflects the engine’s efficient design. Across the model year, owners logged only 21 complaints, with the engine cited as the most frequent issue, and the vehicle was subject to two recalls. This relatively low complaint count places the 2015 Cross Country in the middle of Volvo’s reliability record, suggesting a generally dependable generation tempered by a few engine‑focused concerns.

Reliability & federal safety record

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

Owner complaints about the 2015 Volvo V60 Cross Country dominate in one area — the engine, 10 of 21 reports (48%), well ahead of the next concern. None of this vehicle's 2 recall campaigns target the engine, so those reports read as owner-reported wear-and-tear rather than an acknowledged defect. 2 of the reports describe a crash and 0 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the engine pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
