The second-generation Volvo XC60 has been spotted in Malaysia again, this time by paultan.org reader Daniel Chew. These two uncovered units were sighted at a Puspakom facility recently.
Based on these images, the XC60 will be offered with a T8 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid powertrain when it makes its launch debut. Primary identifiers include the obvious ‘T8’ badging on the tailgate, which is accompanied by smaller emblems beside it, as well as the charging port on the left fender.
The powertrain is made up of a Drive-E 2.0 litre supercharged and turbocharged petrol engine that makes 320 hp at 5,700 rpm and 400 Nm of torque at 2,200 to 5,400 rpm. The T6-spec mill, together with an 87 hp/240 Nm electric motor, results in a total system output of 407 hp and 640 Nm.
Other components that make up the powertrain include a 34 kW crankshaft-mounted starter generator (CISG) and an Aisin-sourced AW TG-81SD eight-speed automatic transmission. Volvo claims a century sprint time of just 5.3 seconds, a top speed of 230 km/h and a combined fuel consumption of 2.1 litres per 100 km.
While one of the emblems is to indicate the assigned powertrain, the other reflects the applied trim package. In this case, both cars are wearing the Inscription kit, where the grille, parts of the lower apron and lower side mouldings are done up in chrome. Also part of the get-up are dual integrated tailpipes, and the cars are fitted with 19-inch 10-spoke black diamond cut alloy wheels.
No clear shots of the interior of both cars, but since these XC60s are fitted with the Inscription kit, a crystal gear knob by Orrefors will likely be part of the cabin. Other features that should be expected include a Sensus infotainment system, dual-zone climate control and 12-inch instrument panel display. Based on the available shots, it looks like these units come with a black interior, including the upholstery.
Previously, an XC60 wearing the R-Design kit was seen roaming around Glenmarie. Therefore, a second variant will likely join the one you see here, although the assigned powertrain is still a mystery.
A launch should be taking place real soon, and according to official distributor Sisma Auto, the XC60 will have an estimated retail price of between RM330k to RM380k. These numbers are higher than the first-generation XC60 CKD currently on sale, and are likely linked to CBU units. Here’s to hoping the XC60 follows in the same footsteps as the XC90 – CBU first, CKD later.

280k ckd Volvo XC60 T8 hybrid.
Something is wrong in Malaysia when the XC60 nearly same price as the XC90.
I hope one day our Ringgit gets stronger and our International name gets better so that prices go down.
Oh let me quote another elegant comment:
“Most people with intelligence can tell the difference in pricing between CBU & CKD”

At least the volvo quality is better and tougher than the MILO TIN cars from Toyota and Lexus
look at Lexus ,
RV is also terribly poor and low too. Reason , the Lexus design looks cheap and unattractive, expensive parts and got to wait ages to get parts, poor ride and handling, inferior safety features, cheap and average quality can defined as poor quality and is not solidly built too.
Volvo=Geely
Volvo=Geely
Jaguar and land Rover = TATA
Audi , BMW and Mercedes also had poor and terrible resale value too !!.
Please get your fact right !!
Furthermore , Japanese cars RV aren’t that good either nowadays !!

Ahbeng theory: money = smart
Reality: money ≠ smart
if the main reason for you to buy a car is to save money, ya.. go ahead and buy the Harrier.
Volvo has nice cars in the XC90 and XC60 T8 models. For me to consider these cars, Volvo should revisit their outdated service model which is really behind BMW and Mercedes Benz

I’ve experienced servicing cars for all 3 makes you’ve mentioned and honestly the worst would have to be MB, it’s hard to arrange an appointment to my schedule, their charges are extremely high and they’re always trying to up sell replacement parts (brake pads, rotors, tires, you name it) not to mention the lack of following up. With BMW (Ingress) it was always good and they’d go all out to replace any faulty parts during the warranty period (best part is servicing is included for free). With Volvo on the other hand I’m always assigned to a particular servicing personnel and therefore they know me and how I like things done, the pricing for servicing is also very affordable and they’ve been always very accommodating and more importantly periodically following up with me which I truly appreciate.
Nice story. Thank you dude
Only if they can maintain current price model to stand a chance, even that , GLC200 already eating up that market space nowadays…When they finally CKD (2019?) GLC facelift will challenge them as this xc60 probably 2 years after launched.

Agreed. I do suspect something is amiss as I don’t think that VCM would want to price the XC60 so close to the XC90. (If it is indeed price at 380k)
CBU. Wait for CKD
