Verdict
At RM281,888, the seven-seat Ford Everest costs RM5,022 less and brings 500 Nm, an 80-litre tank and a 2,900 mm wheelbase for buyers who need a big, tall 4x4-style SUV. The RM286,910 Volvo V60 is the sharper on-paper road car: its plug-in hybrid system has 316 hp plus an 86-hp motor, a 49-km EV range and a claimed 2 L/100 km. It is also far more comprehensively equipped for driver assistance, but has only five seats.
