What is the average Volvo depreciation rate?

I bought a new Volvo a few years ago, but I’m already itching to buy something new. I’m probably going to sell it, but I’m not sure about the timeline. How long do Volvos hold their value?

As a luxury brand, Volvo’s depreciation rates are slightly higher than average—but Volvos depreciate even quicker than rivals like BMW and Audi. Volvos depreciate about 20% in the first year. A

dips below 50% of the original value after just six years of ownership.
Here’s what the rate of depreciation looks like across all Volvo models on average:
Model year

2021
12.0%
88.0%
2020

2019

2018

2017

58.2%
2016

2015
55.1%
44.9%
These are based on averages, though. The value of your specific car will come down to factors like the mileage, accident history, condition, and popularity. You can find out the resale value of your Volvo by using an online calculator on sites like Kelley Blue Book or Consumer Reports.
