Overview
The Volvo XC60 is a compact executive SUV for buyers who want an all-wheel-drive five-seater with either mild-hybrid petrol or plug-in hybrid power. The Mk2 Facelift 2 generation launches in 2025, and the Malaysian range starts from RM328,888. It sits between mainstream electric SUV pricing and established German premium-SUV rivals.
XC60 in 2026 — what's new
The 2026 XC60 is the Mk2 Facelift 2 launched in 2025, sold as the B5 Core mild hybrid and T8 Ultra plug-in hybrid. The facelift brings a new grille and wheels, a revised interior, and an 11.2-inch infotainment screen with Google built-in. Volvo has announced a 2027 third refresh with a long-range PHEV claimed to deliver 200 km of WLTP electric range and Google Gemini AI.
Which variant to buy
Most buyers should take the RM328,888 B5 Core. It has 259 hp, AWD, an automatic gearbox and five seats, while keeping RM34,000 in hand over the T8. Pay RM362,888 for the T8 Ultra if its 460 hp plug-in hybrid powertrain is the point of the purchase. Both use a 1,969 cc petrol engine, AWD and an automatic transmission; on paper, the extra spend is chiefly for the more powerful PHEV drivetrain.
Verdict
The XC60 gives Malaysian buyers a clear two-step range: a 259 hp mild hybrid or a 460 hp plug-in hybrid, both with AWD and five seats. The B5 is RM3,088 more than the BMW X3 but RM1,000 below the Mercedes-Benz GLC, while the T8 costs RM9,988 more than the Audi Q5. The XC60 nameplate has surpassed 2.7 million sales across 17 years to become Volvo's best-selling model.
