Every Volvo, ranked. Lower is better. 100 is the average car.
Each score covers that model's own model years. Volvo wasn't one of the 22 brands in our 2010–2022 study, so it has no brand score.
More Volvo models with owner complaints. No score: we don't have their U.S. sales by year, so each page shows the complaints and recalls.
