The XC60, Smarter than Ever Before

Kota Kinabalu, 15th December 2021 – Volvo Car Malaysia takes another step towards full electrification as it officially unveiled its latest model to East Malaysia. Dubbed “the New Smarter XC60”, this refreshed model comes with added safety features, a fresh exterior look and state-of-the-art technological integration with Google Services.

Charles Frump, Managing Director of Volvo Car Malaysia, shared: “We are excited to introduce the New Smarter XC60 to the shores of East Malaysia. Sebangga Mitsinbo is a valued dealership partner for Volvo Car Malaysia, and it is through their support that we can deliver our most personal vehicle to date and reiterate our commitment to providing the freedom to move in a personal, sustainable, and safe way to our customers in Sabah.”

The New Smarter XC60 is a culmination of the partnership between Volvo Cars and Google to provide a first-of-its-kind built-in infotainment system, complete with a host of Google Services. This enhanced model will feature a new Digital Services Package consisting of an integrated voice-controlled Google Assistant which enables control of many in-car applications including Google Maps, allowing more to be done without glancing away from the road ahead, therefore eliminating the need to take your hands off the steering wheel.

Dato’ Arif Ambrose Ng, the Chairman of Sebangga Group added: “We welcome the latest addition, the New Smarter XC60, to our Volvo fleet here in Sabah. Built with technology and innovation in mind, this vehicle delivers the most intuitive infotainment experience in the automotive industry, making it Volvo Car Malaysia’s most sophisticated mid-sized SUV to date.”

The New Smarter XC60 features a rich Scandinavian design with refined enhancements to the exterior. The changes include a new grille, new front bumpers, and a new exterior colour. For the Recharge T8, the New Smarter XC60 will come with a new 19” 6-multispoke black diamond-cut alloy wheel design and a Bowers and Wilkins sound system for the interior.

The new Smarter XC60 also presents a range of drive modes, tailored to the driver’s preferences, from Pure Electric mode with zero tailpipe emissions for the environmentally conscious to Power mode for the driving enthusiast. The new Smarter XC60 comes with a 4-cylinder 2.0L twin engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission with Geartronic. The engine is assisted by a supercharger as well as a turbocharger, producing 407hp with 640Nm of torque, with 87hp and 240Nm from the battery. The new Smarter XC60 does the century sprint (0-100) in 5.3 seconds, as well as a fuel efficiency of 2.2 litres per 100km.
