Which variant to buy
Most buyers should begin with the B5 Core at RM333,888. It has the same 1,969 cc displacement, five-seat layout and conventional automatic as the T8 Ultra, with 246 hp from its petrol mild-hybrid powertrain. Pay RM367,888 for the T8 Ultra if you specifically want the petrol plug-in hybrid and 317 hp. The RM34,000 gap is mainly a powertrain-and-trim decision; check the equipment list if Ultra badging is the draw.

Volvo XC60 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The XC60 is not the cheap play in this class. The B5 Core costs more than a BMW X3 from RM320,800 and Mercedes-Benz GLC from RM329,888, though less than an Audi Q5 from RM352,900; the T8 Ultra sits above all three entry prices. Its case is the choice of mild hybrid or plug-in hybrid power, five seats and a nameplate that has passed 2.7 million sales over 17 years.
