Slowest-Selling Cars of 2025: A Buyer's Guide to Deals

While most new cars fly off dealer lots, some stick around way longer than anyone wants them to. We're talking over 100 days of just sitting there for some of the slowest-selling cars of 2025, which is actually fantastic news if you're shopping for a deal.

Car and Driver recently teamed up with Kelley Blue Book to figure out which cars are the slowest movers, and the results are pretty eye-opening. Almost all of them are from luxury brands, which makes sense when you think about it – these aren't exactly impulse purchases.

When a car's been camping out on a lot for months, dealers get antsy. That usually translates to better incentives and more wiggle room on price for smart shoppers.

Here's what's gathering dust right now:

• The Volvo S60 takes the crown at 132 days – that's over four months! This compact sedan is actually built in America, but apparently nobody told American buyers. Volvo's calling it quits on the S60 this year, so dealers are probably extra motivated to move them.
• The Audi A4 isn't far behind at 118 days. Sales dropped nearly 50% last year, and it's getting replaced by the A5 for 2026. If you've always wanted an Audi sedan, now might be the time to pounce.
• Chevy's Malibu sits at 116 days – the only non-luxury car on this list. GM's killing off their last sedan, so this is literally your last chance to buy a new one.
• The Audi SQ7 takes 112 days to move, which is wild considering it's got 500 horsepower and costs way less than BMW's equivalent. Maybe people just don't know about it?
• Range Rover's Velar needs 111 days to find a home. It's stylish enough, but apparently style alone isn't cutting it with American buyers.

The rest of the list includes the Mercedes CLA (109 days), two more Volvos – the XC90 and XC40 (108 and 107 days respectively), the Genesis GV70 (106 days), and Lincoln's Aviator rounding out the top 10 at 104 days.

What's really telling is that Volvo shows up three times on this list. That's not great for the Swedish brand, but it could be amazing for anyone who's been eyeing their lineup.

The bottom line? If any of these cars caught your eye, dealers are probably ready to make a deal. When inventory's been sitting around for months, suddenly everything becomes negotiable.
