Should You Trade In Your SUV Before the New Model Year Drops?

As summer winds down, dealerships across Cherry Hill, Philadelphia, and Moorestown start prepping for the arrival of next year’s models. If you’ve been thinking about trading in your current SUV, now might be the perfect time, especially if you’re eyeing a new 2025 Land Rover. But is it smart to trade in before the new model year officially arrives?

Here’s what you should consider if you’re thinking about upgrading your ride before the next wave of Land Rover models hits the lot.

1. Maximize Your Trade-In Value While Demand is High

Used car values typically hold strong during the late summer months, especially for well-maintained SUVs like the Range Rover Evoque, Discovery Sport, and Defender.

• Dealerships are actively looking for pre-owned inventory to meet ongoing demand
• You may get more value for your trade before newer models arrive and shift market interest
• Vehicles with low mileage and clean service records are especially in demand

The sooner you act, the better your chances of getting top dollar for your current Land Rover.

2. Beat the New Model Year Rush

Once the 2026 Land Rover lineup starts to arrive, dealerships may shift focus to those new models, which can affect the value of current vehicles, even if yours is just a year or two old.

By trading in before the model year changeover:

• You’ll be ahead of potential depreciation
• You’ll have first pick of 2025 inventory before others make their move
• You can lock in available special offers and lease deals that may expire with the new model year launch

This is especially helpful if you’re looking to reserve a specific trim, package, or color combination.

3. Take Advantage of Current Incentives

Land Rover often offers seasonal financing rates, loyalty offers, and trade-in bonuses in the months leading up to a model year transition. These incentives are designed to help clear the way for incoming inventory, making it a great time to trade and upgrade.

At Land Rover Cherry Hill, we’ll help you:

• Get a real-time market value for your trade
• Explore financing or lease options on 2025 models
• Review any loyalty or conquest offers you may qualify for

You could save more than you think by timing your trade right.

4. Enjoy the Latest Features Now

The 2025 Land Rover models are packed with cutting-edge technology, improved efficiency, and premium finishes, features you could start enjoying right now instead of waiting.

Upgrading now means access to:

• The newest Pivi Pro infotainment system
• Advanced driver assistance tech like 360-degree cameras and Adaptive Cruise Control

Trading in this season lets you take full advantage of what’s new, so you’re not left driving last year’s tech next year.
