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

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −16.71% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −15.63%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 25% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 28.2%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $37,567 CAD. The Volvo XC40 offers a distinctive Scandinavian design and a premium-feeling cabin that make it stand out in the luxury subcompact SUV class.

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 North American lineup at least some degree of electrification. These add a 48-volt electrical system and a 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: 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 $46,500 CAD for a base XC40 Core.

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.
