What Volvo XC60 do most buyers choose?

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

That gives you a wider range of price points to target depending on how much equipment and age you want to balance.

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

Buy now if:

• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 30.1% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 33.2%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $38,920. The Volvo XC60 offers a calm, premium cabin 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, and the powertrain features a 48-volt mild-hybrid system with an integrated starter/generator and regenerative braking.
• 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 latest model adds forward-collision warning that identifies large animals, pedestrians, and cyclists, plus oncoming collision mitigation braking and intersection braking assist.
• Starting price: Prices range from $51,095 to $62,195, including the $1,395 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 2028 inventory to mature.
