What Volvo XC40 do most buyers choose?

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

These higher-volume model years tend to be the most popular because they give you more inventory to compare, which can make it easier to find the right colour, trim, and price. They also often sit in the sweet spot between newer features and broader used-market availability.

What is the Volvo XC40's resale value?

Most XC40 model years are down year over year, and several recent years show double-digit declines. That creates a favourable setup for used buyers, especially if you want a newer model with more equipment at a lower price than it carried a year ago. The smaller declines on some older years suggest steadier pricing at the lower end of the range.

The 2020, 2022, and 2021 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
