2020 S60 Hybrid Safety

While the NHTSA hasn't evaluated the current-generation S60 for safety, the IIHS has, awarding one of its highest honors in the form of a Top Safety Pick award for 2020.

2020 S60 Hybrid Key Safety Features

The Volvo S60 T8 is equipped with numerous safety-enhancing features to maximize the occupants' protection, with seatbelt pretensioners, an anti-whiplash system that cradles an occupant's head in a rear collision, and a slew of airbags, including front- and side-impact airbags, as well as overhead airbags and knee airbags. Also included is a parking camera, forward and rear collision mitigation with autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert, a drowsy driver warning, and lane keep assist. Optional Pilot Assist systems bring semi-autonomous cruise control to the table, with a range of collision avoidance and driver assists that elevate the S60 to be one of the safest cars around.

2020 S60 Hybrid Reliability

The 2020 Volvo S60 T8 has thus far been free of any recalls, but it is worth noting that the 2019 model was subject to a single recall in April of the same year. This was for rear suspension toe links that may be loose.

In the event of any issues, Volvo offers an impressive and comprehensive warranty package with the vehicle. Along with the usual eight-year/100,000-mile hybrid component warranty, Volvo also provides a limited and powertrain warranty for four years/50,000 miles. A 12-year/unlimited-mileage corrosion warranty is also included, as is a four-year roadside assistance package. Finally, complimentary scheduled maintenance is covered for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first.
