CarGurus Analysis: 2017 Volvo XC60

Summary
With 87 currently listed for sale near Boston, MA and an average price of $12,517.00, 35.6% of 2017 Volvo XC60s for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2017 Volvo XC60 4.67 / 5 stars.
82.8% of 2017 XC60 models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2017 Volvo XC60 stands out as a compact luxury crossover that puts safety and refinement at the center of the experience. Volvo’s first-generation XC60 introduced City Safety, which provided automatic emergency braking at speeds up to 19 mph, and the model earned either a Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ designation from IIHS across the entire first generation. That safety-first character is paired with a premium feel, and owners often praise the vehicle’s comfort, luxurious interior, handling, and advanced features.
For 2017, the XC60 offered a choice between a sporty Dynamic model and the more traditional Inscription, with the only two engines being the turbocharged four cylinder or a supercharged and turbocharged four cylinder. The model also benefited from Volvo’s long list of safety equipment, including whiplash protection, side impact protection, roll stability control, dynamic stability control, inflatable curtain airbags, and hill descent control. Standard equipment was generous as well, with features such as Bluetooth phone pairing, cruise control, roof rails, and an eight-speaker audio system with satellite and HD radio.
As a used buy, the 2017 Volvo XC60 can appeal to shoppers who want a premium small SUV with a strong safety reputation and a more distinctive Scandinavian design than many rivals. Its main drawbacks are more practical than dramatic: the broader XC60 lineup is known for tight rear-seat legroom, and some owners feel the vehicle could offer a better value proposition. Even so, for buyers prioritizing safety, comfort, and a polished driving experience, the 2017 XC60 remains a compelling choice.

Is the 2017 Volvo XC60 a good car?
Yes — the 4.67/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction.
Owners consistently praise the XC60 for its handling, comfort, luxurious interior, advanced features, and safety attributes. The overview also frames it as a good fit if you want a premium small SUV with a distinctive Scandinavian design and a polished driving experience.

Is the 2017 Volvo XC60 reliable?
Owners rate it 4.67/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The user review summary points to a vehicle that feels dependable in daily use, with owners highlighting comfort, advanced features, and overall performance alongside the XC60’s safety reputation. That combination suggests the model has the kind of trouble-free character many used buyers want from a premium crossover.
For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about the ownership experience itself and more about finding a well-kept example with a clean maintenance and condition history.
What should I look for when buying a used 2017 Volvo XC60?
At 67.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should run a vehicle history report before you commit, then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection so you can confirm the car’s structural and mechanical condition. Focus closely on signs of prior bodywork, uneven wear, and any evidence that the vehicle’s premium features or safety systems have not been maintained properly.
Because this model is valued for comfort and safety, condition matters more than usual when you’re comparing similar listings.

What is the 2017 Volvo XC60's resale value?
The current average of $12,500 sits slightly below last year's $14,450.
That softer pricing can help you buy at a more favorable entry point, but it also means future resale gains may be more limited if the market stays under pressure. If you plan to sell later, buying well now matters because your eventual resale value will depend heavily on how much room you leave between purchase price and market demand.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.67/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2017 Volvo XC60 or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2017 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2017 if:
- 33.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 67.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 13.50% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.67/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2018 if:
- At $17,858, the 2018 costs more than the current year's $12,500 average.
- It brings an all-new platform with a different look, feel, and available plug-in hybrid powertrain.
The bottom line: If you want the better value play, the 2017 is the stronger starting point because it combines a lower average price with solid owner satisfaction. If you’re willing to pay more for a newer redesign and added technology, the 2018 is the better secondary path for shoppers who prioritize the latest version over price.
