Throwing cash at a brand-new vehicle isn’t for everyone, particularly when the market dictates huge drops in value the second tires leave the showroom floor. And yet, buyers keep ignoring the used market where the real benefits exist. If you are searching for the best luxury EV SUV, you might assume the answer requires a massive budget, but that assumption is flawed – particularly if you look at Volvo. Brand-new electric Volvos like the EX40 start at over $55,000 new, so buyers looking to capitalize on electric power combined with understated Swedish luxury without breaking the bank may want other options. But what if you could get all of that in a nimble body with oodles of performance for under $40k? What if the best luxury EV in SUV form is actually one you have to buy used?
