What Volvo XC60 do most buyers choose?

Those higher-volume years tend to be the most popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which usually makes it easier to find the right color, trim, and price. They also sit close enough to the newest models to deliver modern features while still offering more used-market value than brand-new examples.

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

• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $38,756. The Volvo XC60 offers a calm, upscale cabin with a polished Scandinavian character that makes it easy to live with every day.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine generates 247 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque, flowing to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission.
• Tech: A larger, high-resolution 11.2-inch touchscreen display debuts for 2026, and Volvo Car UX provides access to Google built-in, Google Maps, Google Assistant, Google Gemini, and Google Play.
• Safety: The XC60 has an oncoming collision mitigation braking system, and intersection braking assist is also standard.

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.
