Among Volvo's many models, the XC60 can be regarded as a "mainstay", with more than 58,000 units sold last year, single-handedly pulling up volvo's overall level. Being open, fit, safe, and especially affordable, this is arguably the root of volvo XC60's popularity. However, the sharp discounts have made volvo XC60's new car sales in the market very prosperous, but will it affect the attention of its used car market? In this case, is it worth buying a second-hand Volvo XC60? (Pictured is volvo XC60 2019 model)
Can you save half of a used car in 3 years?
The volvo XC60 used car supply on the market is mainly concentrated in the range of 19 to 20 years. Take the "T5 Four Wheel Drive Smart Luxury Edition" with a price of 396,900 yuan. The second-hand car that was licensed in April 2019 has passed the warranty period of the whole vehicle, and the appearance and interior are somewhat worn, but it does not affect the use and aesthetics of the whole vehicle. After driving nearly 50,000 kilometers, the price is about 230,000 yuan, but there are also models that run 170,000 kilometers, only 210,000 yuan, compared to the price of new cars can indeed be a lot cheaper.
Let's take a look at the 2020 Volvo XC60 "T5 Four-Wheel Drive Zhiyi Luxury Edition", most of the models with small problems, after being listed in May 2020, the driving mileage is about 50,000 kilometers, and the price of second-hand cars is about 250,000-260,000 yuan, basically fluctuating within 10,000 yuan. However, there is a model that travels less than 30,000 kilometers, although there is external damage, but it does not affect the overall aesthetics, the price is also higher, about 270,000 yuan.
Even the 2021 Volvo XC60 "T5 Four-Wheel Drive Zhiyi Deluxe Edition", there are still many used car sources, and the license time is concentrated in February-April last year, and the price ranges from 280,000 to 300,000 yuan. Most of the higher-priced models have less than 30,000 kilometers of mileage, and there are fewer problems on the car. However, there are still some models of air conditioning outlets and batteries are damaged, the appearance and tires also have a lot of scratches and scratches, the price of second-hand cars is relatively low, only about 280,000 yuan.
Second-hand Volvo XC60 In addition to this 2.0T high-power entry-level car source, there are also medium-equipped models "T5 four-wheel drive Zhiyuan Luxury Edition", its second-hand car price is basically within the range of 50,000 yuan per year, the price can be much cheaper than the new car, and the sales are not bad. In addition, as for the new energy model of Volvo XC60, it is basically rare to see its figure in the second-hand car market, after all, the car that costs more than 500,000 yuan to buy, the second-hand car price of the same car condition is about 30,000 yuan more than the fuel version, so the owners are not willing to sell the car.
The same price, buy used XC60 than Tiguan L new car value?
The volvo XC60's used car price is indeed very good, but is it worth buying? As we all know, the new 2022 model of volvo XC60 is equipped with a 2.0T+48V light hybrid power system, and the used cars on the market are all T series engines. Although the process of starting and stopping at traffic lights such as volvo XC60 is much smoother after adding 48V light mixing, the overall driving feeling still continues Volvo's tepid style. In addition, Volvo's own light mixing technology also needs to be further considered, at this point, it seems that the traditional 2.0T power is more stable and durable, compared to the high maintenance costs after the late problem, the fuel consumption is not too big.
You don't have to struggle too much with power, but the Volvo XC60 has some minor problems in other aspects. The most concerned on the Internet is the XC60 body low-frequency resonance problem, many owners have ear pain, scalp wood problems when driving, especially in bumpy sections, low-frequency noise caused by discomfort is more obvious, although it is a problem that varies from car to car, but Volvo does not seem to have come up with a specific solution. In addition, volvo XC60 will also have problems such as rear suspension noises, black screens of crashes in the engine system and poor sound insulation during turns and road surfaces. When choosing to buy a used car for the Volvo XC60 at a lower price, you also have to consider whether you can accept these problems.
So, spending 250,000 yuan to buy a volvo XC60 used car, will there be any advantage over the new car at the same price? The mid-size SUV at this price point can buy many joint venture brand models, such as the Volkswagen Tiguan L, Toyota Highlander and Honda UR-V. In addition to the brand advantage, in terms of product strength, the safety of volvo XC60 naturally need not be said, and its maximum 250 horsepower 2.0T power, parameters than the 2.0T Tiguan L, Highlander are excellent, not to mention the 1.5T UR-V; 2.8 meters of wheelbase, so that XC60 space performance in the four also slightly dominant. Therefore, if you encounter a model with the right age, mileage, and good car condition, in fact, spend the same price, choosing a volvo XC60 used car may be more cost-effective, after all, as a luxury brand, its space, car and driving experience are completely different from ordinary joint venture SUVs.
Of course, the Volvo XC60 from the luxury brand is naturally slightly higher in the post-maintenance cost. Its maintenance cycle is 10,000 kilometers, the first maintenance and replacement of the oil filter costs about 870 yuan, to 40,000 kilometers to carry out a large maintenance cost of 3440 yuan, the first 60,000 kilometers of conventional maintenance costs of 11,158 yuan, the maintenance cost of 20,000 kilometers per year is 3719 yuan, and the Tiguan L, Highlander and other models a year 2, 3,000 yuan of maintenance costs, compared with a lot of expensive, mainly Volvo XC60 single maintenance cost is relatively high, are worth the maintenance cost of other models a year.
Write at the end
Compared with the new car, the volvo XC60's used car seems to be more cost-effective, not only cheaper, but also quite advantageous compared to the same price model. However, when choosing a second-hand car, you should also pay attention to the common abnormal noise on the Volvo XC60, the black screen of the car machine and other small problems. Considering the warranty period and other issues, if you want to buy a second-hand Volvo XC60, the car is about two years old, the mileage is not much, and the model with complete condition seems to be more suitable. However, if you want to be cheaper and don't care about warranty and other issues, you can directly look at the used cars that are about four years old, and their prices may satisfy you.
