Are Volvo SUVs reliable?

My husband’s lease ends in December, and we’re looking for a new luxury SUV that can still serve as a practical family car. He’s a big fan of the Volvo brand, but I’ve heard some troubling things about certain models and I’m not convinced they’re safe enough to be a family car. Are Volvo SUVs reliable cars?

On the whole, Volvo SUVs have earned reasonable reliability ratings from reputable companies like J.D. Power and RepairPal. But reliability scores and specs can vary between Volvo’s premier SUV models:
For example, the 2022 Volvo XC40, the manufacturer’s subcompact crossover model, earned a reliability score of 76/100 from J.D. Power, which is solidly average. The XC60 (Volvo’s compact crossover model) earned a similar rating, while the mid-size XC90 scored surprisingly lower—just 70/100.
Remember, reliability ratings can also change depending on the model year of your vehicle! The 2019 XC90 is generally considered much less reliable than newer versions of the same car, so it’s important to consider vehicle specifics—including age and trim level—when doing your research.
