Should I buy a used Volvo XC40 now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −1.4% versus a year ago, and the 2023 model is at −9.03%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 36.9% good and great deals, and the 2023 model has 36.6%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $31,159. The Volvo XC40 offers a distinctive Scandinavian design, a premium-feeling cabin, and everyday practicality that make it easy to live with.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: A big change for the 2023 model year is under the hood, where Volvo swapped in mild-hybrid powertrains as part of its push to give each model in its U.S. lineup at least some degree of electrification. These add a 48-volt electrical system and 13-horsepower integrated starter generator, which assists the gasoline engine and allows for more use of the engine start/stop system to improve fuel economy, while also filling gaps in its power delivery for added smoothness.
• Tech: For 2023, gasoline XC40 models get the Android-based infotainment system introduced on the XC40 Recharge for the 2021 model year. This uses Google apps in place of generic ones, so Google Maps serves as the navigation system, voice recognition is handled by Google Assistant, etc.
• Safety: Upgrading from the base Core trim level to the XC40 Plus adds front parking sensors, while the top Ultimate grade adds side parking sensors, a 360-degree camera system, adaptive cruise control, and Pilot Assist, which can control steering, acceleration, and braking on highways, but remains a hands-on system.
• Starting price: Pricing starts at $37,445 for a base XC40 Core with B4 FWD mechanicals.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
