What should I look for when buying a used Volvo XC60?

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2018 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: Pilot Assist, which combines adaptive cruise control with lane-centering assist.
• Infotainment: Volvo Car UX with an 11.2-inch touchscreen, Google built-in, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.
• Fuel efficiency: The official EPA rating is 26 mpg in combined driving, but on a sunny 88-degree day, the XC60 T5 returned 24.7 mpg on our Southern California fuel-economy loop. On the extended mountainous vehicle evaluation route, we saw 21.7 mpg.

Which Volvo XC60 trim should I buy?

The 2026 Volvo XC60 offers these trims:

• Core: The entry trim in the 2026 XC60 lineup, with the model’s clean Scandinavian design and premium cabin character.
• Plus: A step up for shoppers who want more equipment while staying close to the XC60’s core value proposition.
• Ultra: The best-value trim, since it adds the sumptuously outfitted cabin, Harman Kardon sound system, and available upgrades such as Nappa leather, premium wood trim, and the Bowers & Wilkins audio system.

What Volvo XC60 do most buyers choose?

The Volvo XC60 years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.

Higher-volume years usually give you more shopping choice, which can make it easier to compare prices, trims, and condition. They also tend to be the years most buyers cross-shop first because inventory depth helps you find the right combination of features and value.

What is the Volvo XC60's resale value?

Most model years are down year over year, which is good news if you’re shopping used because it creates more room for value. The newer years are still declining, but at a smaller pace than many older ones, so you may see stronger pricing on recent inventory. The overall pattern favors buyers who want a premium SUV with softer used pricing than its original sticker would suggest.

The 2025, 2024, and 2018 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

• 2021: 9/10
• 2018: 10/10

The 2026 XC60 includes Pilot Assist, along with standard intersection braking assist and oncoming collision mitigation braking.

For the safest used buy, the 2018 and 2023 models both post the highest confirmed score of 10/10.

Should I buy a used Volvo XC60 now or wait for the next model?
