BMW M4 Coupe vs Volvo V60
Verdict
The BMW M4 Coupe is the hard-edged choice here: RM878,800 buys 530 hp, 650 Nm, a 3.5-second 0-100 km/h time and 250 km/h top speed. The Volvo V60 costs RM321,888, so the RM556,912 gap is huge, yet it still does 0-100 km/h in 4.6 seconds. For a Malaysian buyer, the Volvo’s 90 km EV range, 2.0 L/100 km rating, 529-litre boot, five seats, five-year warranty and RM365 road tax make it the easier car to justify day to day.
Pick the BMW M4 Coupe if you want the quicker, more powerful car and can live with four seats, a 440-litre boot and RM2,113 yearly road tax.
Pick the Volvo V60 if you want strong pace with five seats, a larger 529-litre boot, plug-in hybrid running and a much lower RM321,888 price.
