Volvo XC60: Mk2 Facelift vs Mk2 Facelift 2
Verdict
Mechanically, this is a very tight old-versus-new XC60 fight. Both are CKD five-seat compact executive SUVs with a 1,969 cc petrol-hybrid powertrain making 246 hp and 350 Nm, AWD, an automatic gearbox and the same 6.9-second 0–100 km/h time. The Volvo XC60 Mk2 Facelift 2 costs RM41,621 more, yet has a smaller 483-litre boot versus 505 litres, while the Volvo XC60 Mk2 Facelift is the only one here with stated 7.6 L/100 km and 174 g/km figures. For most used-car buyers, condition and kit matter more than the badge-year change.
Pick the Volvo XC60 Mk2 Facelift if you want the same engine output, AWD traction and 6.9-second sprint, with the larger 505-litre boot.
Pick the Volvo XC60 Mk2 Facelift 2 if you want the newer version and its 20 mm longer body, while accepting the smaller 483-litre boot.
