Volvo XC90 D5 comes with extra trim for a limited time

Volvo is currently having a promotion for the diesel-powered Volvo XC90 D5 where for a limited time while stocks last, it’ll come standard with about RM40,000 worth of aesthetic accessories like 19 inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, a brushed metal design front bumper, XC Design running boards, a sports tail pipe and bright chrome trim around the windows.

Without the accessory package, standard wheels are 17 inchers. The D5 engine is mated to a 6-speed automatic transimssion to put the engine’s 185 hosepower and 400Nm of torque down to the wheels. Fuel consumption for the diesel is just 8.5 litres per 100km on the combined cycle.

The XC90 D5 goes for RM355K OTR without insurance, the same price as the 2.5T model but the 2.5T will not come with the accessories. It looks like pretty good value for a 7 seater with air conditioning and airbags for all three rows, especially when it has way smaller competitors at the RM300k mark, and its own stablemate the XC60 is going for between RM330k to RM360k.

      it is a Volvo after all… old uncles have been driving them for ages…

      anyhow, in the olden days (before Proton & obscene taxes/duties were introduced) even school headmasters can afford them… but nowadays, not on their current salaries, the Volvo price is too high for 90% (or more) of the population…

        That’s because current Volvo’s offerings are in the premium segment, design & quality wise. But are still cheaper than most Bimmers & Benz!

  • the 3rd row is useless. Turning circle could be better. Other than that its a good SUV indeed.
