It handles mud, snow, and sand with ease with optional all-wheel drive (AWD). The V60 provides superior EPA (miles per gallon) for its class, easing fuel costs and reducing pollution. Volvo offers a 4-year, 50,000-mile basic/powertrain warranty on its lineup.

Comparison to all vehicles.  This plot shows RSC safety scores on the horizontal axis vs. the number of vehicles with each safety score (depicted by bar height and percentages at the bottom). Colors reflect vehicle safety, ranging from red (not that safe) to green (safer). For reference, a score of 0 implies a 0.15% chance of driver death (13% chance of driver injury) over 15 years, and a score of 100 reflects a 0.016% chance (1.4% chance of driver injury). The 2021 Volvo V60 has a score of 87, implying a 0.033% chance of driver death (2.9% chance of injury).

Active safety features with Volvo's IntelliSafe greatly enhance occupant safety by reducing the likelihood of a crash. Active safety systems that are standard on the Volvo V60 include: Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Lane Departure Warning System, and Blind Spot Information System (BLIS).

Other safety technologies seem simpler but should still be considered. Standard side mirror turn signals can help when you don't see a vehicle in your blind spot, by alerting them to your intention to switch lanes, which allows the other driver to avoid an accident with you. Standard Automatic High Beams automatically switches high beam headlights off when oncoming traffic is approaching and turns them back on when there aren't any vehicles ahead. Standard Cornering Headlights / Leveling Head Lamps better illuminate the road ahead --- the lights point towards the direction that the vehicle is heading.
