The New Cars to Avoid in 2025: The Worst Sedans, Trucks, and SUVs

9.Volvo XC60: $48,195 - $76,545

While the Volvo XC60 remains a symbol of style and elegance, it’s not the best choice for 2024. Consumer Reports ranks it among the least reliable vehicles, with a reliability score of just 21. The XC60 suffers from multiple mechanical and electronic issues, including battery malfunctions, charging problems, electrical accessory failures, climate control glitches, and overall poor electrical system reliability.

Despite its refined cabin and decent engine options, the XC60 falls short in cargo space and is burdened by an awkward Google-based infotainment system that many drivers find frustrating to use.
