Volvo Window Sticker

What's on a Volvo window sticker

Every Monroney label carries the same required blocks — MSRP with itemised options, EPA fuel economy, which across the Volvo range averages 28 mpg, NHTSA safety ratings, where 100% of rated Volvo models hold five stars overall, standard and optional equipment, and parts-content origin. Enter a Volvo VIN and the label comes back with that car's own build, not a range average.

Across the 12 Volvo models with EPA data on file the label figure spreads from the S60 at 31 mpg down to the V90CC at 26 — which is why the sticker for one car says more than any brand average. What those stickers are worth today: a median $19,511 across 9 models and 1,377 live listings, topped by the C40 at $30,998. From EPA fuel-economy records, NHTSA ratings and ForCar market data.

For how to read each block, what to do if the sticker is lost and how it differs from a build sheet, see the window sticker guide.

EPA figures across the Volvo range

Combined MPG as printed on each model's window sticker, most efficient first. The Volvo range spans 5 mpg between the S60 and the V90CC, so a brand average tells you little — the label for one VIN tells you everything:

Figures are the best recent EPA rating for each model; electric models are rated in MPGe and left out so the comparison stays like-for-like.

What Volvo stickers are worth now

The label freezes the factory price; this is the median asking price of each Volvo model on the used market today, across 1,377 live listings:

Medians across all model years we hold prices for, so a long-running nameplate sits lower than a recent one. Full year-by-year breakdown on each model's Volvo value pages.

Safety ratings across Volvo stickers

The NHTSA block on each label, model by model. Overall stars out of five, best first — a quick way to see how consistently Volvo builds to the crash test:

NHTSA has crash-tested 6 of the Volvo models on file, which is why this list is shorter than the full range — 6 of them hold five stars overall. Stars shown are the overall rating; each model's page breaks out frontal, side and rollover.

Every Volvo model we hold a sticker for, with the years covered and the best EPA figure printed on the label. Pick one to look it up by VIN:

Where to find the VIN on a Volvo

1. WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
2. Door jambOn the driver's door frame, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
3. DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Volvo all three must show the same number.

All four must match. A Volvo whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
