Used 2024 Volvo XC90 for Sale nearBakersfield, CA

How much does the 2024 Volvo XC90 cost?

Prices have softened 9.14% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,540 listings available, which suggests you should have a workable selection to compare.

Is the 2024 Volvo XC90 a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Volvo XC90 earns a 4.5/5 user rating and a 7.17/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Look and feel at 10/10.

That lines up with the XC90’s core appeal: it is styled as a timeless-looking luxury SUV, and Volvo’s current-generation design helped define the brand’s move toward design, quality, and technology. It also offers a range of powertrains, including a plug-in hybrid, so you can shop for the version that best fits your priorities.

The trade-offs are real, though. The expert notes that it carries over without changes this year, commands a steep price tag, and its safety tech is less innovative than some rivals. Pilot Assist behavior is also a concern.

With 36.2% of listings priced as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Volvo XC90 reliable?

Owners rate it 4.5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The XC90’s appeal is reinforced by its polished design, comfort, and strong safety reputation. The expert evaluation also describes it as having aged extraordinarily well, which is a good sign for a used luxury SUV that still needs to feel current enough to justify its price.

Its plug-in hybrid setup adds complexity, but the evaluation also points to practical charging flexibility and efficient everyday use when kept charged. That said, the SUV’s age and rising competition mean you should pay close attention to condition and maintenance history before buying.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Volvo XC90?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92.1% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and verify that the specific vehicle has been maintained on schedule. A pre-purchase inspection is especially important on a luxury SUV with available plug-in hybrid hardware, since you want to confirm that the powertrain, electronics, and cabin features are all working as intended.

Pay close attention to ride quality, infotainment behavior, and driver-assistance performance during your test drive. Those are the areas where this model’s age and complexity are most likely to show up.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The XC90 is offered in Core, Plus, and Ultimate trim levels. The base setup is already well equipped, but the higher trims add richer materials and more luxury features, including massaging front seats, a premium headliner, an active air suspension, and a high-end audio system in the test vehicle.
• Powertrain: You can choose from B5, B6, and Recharge T8 versions. The B5 uses a turbocharged mild-hybrid four-cylinder engine, the B6 adds a supercharger for extra performance, and the Recharge T8 plug-in hybrid delivers the most performance and the greatest efficiency, with 32 miles of estimated electric-only range.
• Safety package: Volvo’s Pilot Assist pairs adaptive cruise control with lane-centering assist. The XC90 also includes large-animal detection, a notification system that alerts a distracted driver when traffic ahead starts moving again, and standard front and rear parking sensors. A hands-free driving assistance system is not offered.
• Infotainment: The dashboard centers on a 9-inch touchscreen with Google Built-in, Google Maps, Google Play, and Google Assistant. Apple CarPlay is standard, and the system includes over-the-air-connected features through Volvo’s Google-based setup.
• Fuel efficiency: The Recharge T8 is estimated to average 27 mpg in combined driving as a hybrid, and it can drive 32 miles on electricity alone.

Which 2024 Volvo XC90 trim should I buy?

The 2024 Volvo XC90 is offered in 6 trim levels: B5 Core, B5 Plus, B5 Ultimate, B6 Core, B6 Plus, and B6 Ultimate.

Here's the short version:

• B5 Core: This is the entry point if you want the XC90’s design, standard AWD, and mild-hybrid efficiency without paying for extra luxury features. It makes the most sense if you want the XC90 experience at the lowest starting price.
• B5 Plus: This is the best-value trim if you want a more upscale feel without jumping to the top of the range. It should give you the sweet spot between equipment and price.
• B5 Ultimate: Choose this if you want the richest cabin presentation and the most premium comfort features in the B5 lineup.
• B6 Core: Pick this if you want the stronger supercharged-and-turbocharged powertrain while staying closer to the lower end of the trim ladder.
• B6 Plus: This is the balanced choice for buyers who want extra performance and a better-equipped cabin.
• B6 Ultimate: Go here if you want the most luxurious B6 setup and the fullest feature content short of the Recharge T8.

Volvo’s safety equipment is strong across the lineup, but the ADAS setup is not especially innovative, and Pilot Assist is worth evaluating carefully on your test drive.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Volvo XC90?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you are patient.

• Deal availability: 36.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,540 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.14% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 92.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $44,760, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Volvo XC90's resale value?

The current average of $45,162 sits slightly below last year's $49,707.

That decline suggests the XC90 is currently in a softer pricing phase, which can be good news if you are buying now but less ideal if you are planning to sell soon. A lower current market average usually means future resale gains may be more gradual unless demand strengthens.

Even so, the XC90’s strong design, luxury positioning, and broad appeal help support long-term desirability. Well-kept examples with desirable equipment should remain easier to move than neglected ones.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 Volvo XC90 safe?

The 2024 Volvo XC90 earns five-star ratings in every NHTSA assessment except rollover resistance, where it earns a four-star rating. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety also named it a Top Safety Pick+ in 2023.

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

Volvo includes Pilot Assist, which combines adaptive cruise control and lane-centering assist, along with large-animal detection, traffic-movement alerts, and standard front and rear parking sensors. That gives you a solid safety feature set for everyday driving.

The caveat is that the XC90’s driver-assistance tech is not especially advanced for the class, and Pilot Assist showed some troubling behavior during testing. That means you should treat the system as a convenience feature, not something to rely on blindly.

Should I buy a 2024 Volvo XC90 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 36.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 92.1% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.14% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It remains an appealing luxury SUV with stylish design, comfort, and a plug-in hybrid option.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $39,038, the 2023 costs less than the current year's $45,162 average.
• It brings updated mild-hybrid powertrains and Google-based infotainment.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $51,737, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $45,162 average.
• It gets a refresh with updated styling, materials, and a more polished presentation.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of current pricing and broad availability, the 2024 is the sensible target. If your budget is tighter, the 2023 offers a lower entry price with much of the same core appeal. If you want the newest version and are willing to pay more, the 2025 is the upgrade path.
