    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 2023 Volvo S60 has a score of 86, implying a 0.034% chance of driver death (3% chance of injury).

    We estimate that the 2023 Volvo S60 has a vehicle lifetime fatality chance of 0.0338% and a vehicle lifetime injury chance of 3.8655%, meaning the average driver has a 0.0338% chance of dying in an accident if they drive the car under regular conditions for fifteen years, and a 3.8655% chance of being injured.

    Compared to the average vehicle, the 2023 Volvo S60 is 27% less likely to result in a fatal accident. Compared to other sedans, hatchbacks, and wagons, the 2023 Volvo S60 is 33% less likely to result in a fatal accident.

    Active safety features with Volvo's IntelliSafe can substantially reduce the risks of harm to vehicle occupants by preventing severe accidents. The following active safety systems are included even on lower trims/versions of the 2023 Volvo S60: Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Lane Departure Warning System, and Blind Spot Information System (BLIS).

    Some advanced safety features --- while not cutting edge --- can still improve vehicle safety. Standard Automatic High Beams on the 2023 Volvo S60 automatically switches off high beams headlights when another vehicle is nearby. Side mirror turn signals are standard on the Volvo S60. They alert other vehicles of your intention to switch lanes, which allows the other vehicle's driver to prevent an impending accident with you. Optional Cornering Headlights / Leveling Head Lamps points head lamps towards where the vehicle is heading, better lighting the road ahead.

    But it is about as safe as many comparable models.
