2017 Volvo XC60

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2017 XC60.

Body SUVTransmission Automatic (S8)

The 2017 Volvo XC60 is a midsize SUV built on Volvo’s compact luxury platform, powered by a smooth 5.7‑quart engine that runs on 0W‑30 or 5W‑30 oil and is paired with an S8 automatic transmission; it averages EPA ratings of 20/27/22 mpg. With only 14 owner complaints—down from a peak of 66 in 2013—and a modest recall count of four, this model year sits at the low end of the XC60’s complaint history, suggesting a more reliable driving experience for researchers evaluating long‑term ownership trends.

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 2017 model year marks the lowest complaint volume (14) in the entire nine-year federal dataset, down from 38 in 2016 and well below the 2013 peak of 66, suggesting this final year of the generation benefited from accumulated production refinements. While recalls ticked up to 4 from 3 in the prior year, this remains below the 2010 high of 7, and Technical Service Bulletins declined from the 2016 peak of 353 to 291, indicating reduced factory-level repair patterns. The 2017-specific complaint data shows no dominant failure mode, with only two fuel system complaints and scattered single incidents across electrical, air bag, and forward collision avoidance systems; notably, the data records zero fire complaints and just two crash-related complaints. Positioned at the generation's conclusion, this year falls on the favorable end of a downward complaint trend that began after 2013, though the uptick in recalls from 2015-2016 levels warrants attention. For a used buyer, the 2017 XC60 represents the statistically most reliable year of this generation based on owner complaint frequency, provided maintenance records confirm completion of the four factory recalls.
