What Volvo XC40 do most buyers choose?

The Volvo XC40 years with the most listings are 2024, 2025, and 2023.

Higher-volume years usually give you more choice, which can make it easier to compare trims, colors, and prices. They also tend to be the years shoppers return to most often because inventory is deeper and the market has more examples to choose from.

What is the Volvo XC40's resale value?

Most XC40 model years are showing declines year over year, which can work in your favor if you’re shopping used.

That pattern gives you more room to find value without giving up the XC40’s premium appeal.

The 2025, 2024, and 2021 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

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

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −1.07% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −3.37%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 34.4% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 34.6%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $30,855. The Volvo XC40 offers a distinctive Scandinavian design, a premium cabin feel, and practical everyday packaging 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. A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 9-inch touchscreen (in Volvo’s typical portrait orientation) are standard.
• Safety: Volvo built its reputation on safety, and that’s reflected in the XC40’s list of standard safety features. Luxury brands often skimp on these features, but the XC40 covers the bases with standard lane keep assist, automatic emergency braking, Oncoming Lane Mitigation, traffic sign recognition, rear parking sensors, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross traffic alert.
• Starting price: Pricing starts at $37,445 for a base XC40 Core with B4 FWD mechanicals (all prices include a mandatory $1,095 destination charge).

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 2027 inventory to mature.
