2024 Volvo XC90

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 XC90.

Transmission Automatic (S8)

The 2024 Volvo XC 90, built on Volvo’s current platform and powered by an automatic S8 transmission, achieves a combined EPA rating of 22 mpg city, 27 mpg highway and 24 mpg combined, underscoring its balanced efficiency for a midsize luxury SUV. While the model registers a modest total of 31 owner complaints—most frequently centered on the electrical system—and has been subject to three recalls, it continues a long‑term trend of improving reliability that saw its lowest complaint year in 2012 (just three reports) after a peak in 2004. Consequently, the 2024 iteration occupies a favorable position in the XC 90’s reliability history, indicating that contemporary owners can expect fewer systemic issues than earlier generations.

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 provided federal record covers model years 2003 through 2015, showing a clear downward trend in complaints—from a peak of 462 in 2004 to zero by 2015—and a general decline in recalls, with no investigations after 2005. The 2024 model year falls well outside this dataset, so a direct comparison to the earlier generation is not possible based on the given numbers. Without data for 2024 or any model years after 2015, the record cannot speak to the reliability or complaint patterns of the current-generation XC90. The earlier arc suggests Volvo improved quality over that generation, but it offers no concrete insight into the 2024 model. Therefore, a buyer considering a used 2024 XC90 should consult more recent federal data and reliability reports, as the provided information is insufficient to assess this year.
