Overview
The Volvo XC90 is a second-generation, facelifted executive SUV with seven seats and a petrol-hybrid line-up. Launched in Malaysia in 2025, it suits buyers who want a large family SUV with a premium badge rather than a people carrier. The range starts from RM418,888.
XC90 in 2026 — what's new
For 2026, the Volvo XC90 facelift continues in Malaysia as the Ultra B5 MHEV and Ultra T8 PHEV. The latest update is a new Aurora Silver colour, with no change to the two-variant structure or pricing. The XC90 sits alongside the electric EX90 in Volvo’s large SUV line-up, while a larger hybrid SUV positioned above both models is under consideration.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the Ultra B5 at RM418,888. It has seven seats, a 1,969 cc petrol-hybrid powertrain, 249 hp and a conventional automatic gearbox. The Ultra T8 costs RM434,888, so the RM16,000 gap buys plug-in hybrid hardware and a higher 317 hp output, not extra seats. Pay more for the T8 if you can charge at home or work and want the stronger drivetrain.

Volvo XC90 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The XC90 remains Volvo’s combustion-engined seven-seat flagship alongside the electric EX90. Its appeal is clear if you want SUV seating and presence instead of a traditional seven-seat MPV. It is not the cheapest executive SUV here: the Mazda CX-80, Audi Q8 e-tron and Volkswagen Touareg all start lower. The T8 PHEV also sits just RM8,000 below the EX90 EV, so the choice quickly becomes hybrid convenience versus going fully electric.
