Soon-to-be launched, locally assembled new, gorgeous and powerful S60. To be available in two variants, the T5 and introducing the new T4, the new S60 is Volvo’s sportiest car to date and one that promises a more ‘naughty’ and dynamic driving performance than any previous Volvo. Turbocharged Engines Both the T4 and T5 features a Gasoline Turbocharged Direct Injection (GTDi) engine which represents Volvo’s very latest direct injection technology. The GTDi was developed to offer really low fuel consumption without compromising on performance or driving pleasure. The T5 is a 2.0-litre petrol engine which pumps out a blistering 240 hp, and no less than 320 Nm of torque, which takes you from 0-100 km/h in 7.5 seconds flat, and pushes you to a top speed of 230km/h. The new T4 is a 1.6-litre, 180 hp petrol engine, delivering a massive torque of 270 Nm. The result is excellent pulling power, providing a particularly comfortable driving experience yet consuming only 7.0 litres per 100km for a combined driving cycle in cities and highways, putting the T4 among the most powerful 1.6-litre engines in Malaysia currently.
Innovative Safety Technologies The S60 also ensures drivers enjoy a blissful, safe drive every time. This sports sedan pushes Volvo’s world-renowned safety hallmarks to the fore, with more safety components than any auto brand. This is Volvo’s safest car to date. Pedestrian Detection can avoid a collision with a pedestrian at speeds of up to 35 km/h if the driver does not react in time. Pedestrian Safety may be the cherry on the cake, but the S60 is also jam packed with other high-tech solutions that include active preventive safety features to help the driver prevent an accident happening altogether.Selling price is RM220,000 for the T4 and RM255,000 for the T5 (both prices on-the-road, without insurance).
