When it comes to buying a new Volvo, you have two options: shop new and leave the dealership with a brand new car with zero kilometres, or take a look at used cars and drive a used Volvo at a bargain price. In this respect, the choice between buying a new or used vehicle has become much tighter. At Volvo Saint-Léonard, it's not uncommon to find low-mileage used cars with warranties greater than...

The XC60 SUV is one of Volvo's best-selling vehicles of recent decades. In 2024, no fewer than 230,853 XC60 units were sold worldwide.
So when you're looking to buy a used Volvo XC60 in Montreal, there are plenty of choices between petrol and hybrid powertrains, different trims and the technologies included in them that have evolved over the Volvo XC60's career.
In this article, we share with you the different options available when it comes to buying a used Volvo XC60.
Choose a Pre-Owned Volvo in Montreal Certified by 5 Years and Unlimited Mileage
At the time of writing, the Volvo XC60 is celebrating its 15th anniversary. The model first appeared in Quebec in 2010. As a result, it's quite possible to find decade-old Volvo XC60s in good mechanical and cosmetic condition.
However, these vehicles are no longer guaranteed by the manufacturer in the event of mechanical or cosmetic damage (perforating rust, for example). In fact, our vehicles are guaranteed for 4 years or 80,000 kilometres for a new Volvo.
However, Volvo has launched a program for used vehicles that offers an additional warranty once they are certified. This certification includes a complete 170-point inspection of vehicles before they go on sale, as well as access to advantageous financing rates.
So, if you're looking for a pre-owned Volvo XC60 in Montreal, we suggest you take a look at Volvo's 5-year, unlimited mileage certified vehicles.
Used Volvo XC60 available in Montréal
Over the course of its career, the second generation Volvo XC60 has not undergone any drastic changes from an aesthetic point of view. On the other hand, there have been some technological and naming changes that are worth understanding before making a purchase.
Buy a Volvo XC60 from 2018 to 2022
In 2018, the second-generation Volvo XC60 makes its appearance with a new design (inside and out), new technologies, new engines and new finishes.
Here, three trims are now on offer: Momentum, R-Design and Inscription. All include standard safety features such as City Safety, Forward Collision Avoidance and Blind Spot Monitor.
Pilot Assist, an advanced semi-autonomous driving assistance system that manages steering, acceleration and braking at speeds of up to 130 km/h, is also available as an option.
In terms of engines, the Volvo XC60 from 2018 to 2022 offers the T5 petrol engine with 254 bhp, the T6, which, with its turbocharger and compressor, delivers 320 bhp and 400 Nm of torque, and the T8 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid, which develops 407 bhp thanks to the addition of electric propulsion.
Finally, all second-generation Volvo XC60s now feature Apple CarPlay or Android Auto as well as Volvo On Call.
Buy a Volvo XC60 from 2023 to 2025
As well as seeing slight aesthetic changes, 2023 marks the introduction of new names for the engines as well as new names for the finishes.
Indeed, the year 2023 marks the end of the Momentum, R-Design and Inscription era to make way for Base (formerly Momentum), Bright (Inscription) and Dark (formerly R-Design) as well as T5 and T6 engines for the B5 and B6 denominations; which follows the mild hybridization of combustion engines.
For the 2023 model year, the T8 engine will also receive a battery update, boosting its power to 455 hp and its 100% electric range to 60 kilometres.
On the other hand, if you're looking for a 2024 model, the 295hp B6 engine in the Volvo XC60 is no longer in the catalogue. Only the mild-hybrid B5 engine and the T8 Recharge engine are available for sale. The 2024 also introduces a finition Black Edition.
Finally, all pre-owned Volvo XC60s in Montreal on the road from 2021 benefit from the Google Built-in system which allows applications, such as Waze, to benefit from a more optimised user experience.
