Cruising into town with a coupe-like design, dynamic performance, advanced driving ability and world leading safety features, the ALL-NEW VOLVO V60 is set to become Volvo’s latest winner among Malaysian car buyers looking for a sports wagon.
With its added versatility and practicality combined with its eye-catching design, powerful engines, sporty handling and chock-full of amazing safety features, this svelte Sportswagon is a clear front-runner for the title of “The Most Dynamic Volvo Model Ever”.
The pronounced wedge shape and the slim coupe-like roof line of the ALL-NEW V60 are accompanied by the shoulder profile along the car’s sides, creating a gentle yet powerful double wave from the headlamps at the front to the tail lamps at the rear. Even for the interior, Volvo’s designers obtained their inspiration from the racing track in their quest for uncompromising sportiness. Volvo Cars’ chassis experts have chiseled out the driving experience in the ALL-NEW V60 with the same passion and uncompromising approach that characterized the development of the S60 sedan. The result is an authentic sportswagon with driving properties that do the sporty lines full justice.
The sporty interior of the new V60 is also the most advanced high-tech environment ever available to a Volvo driver. Groundbreaking and world leading technology such as the Pedestrian Detection with full auto brake takes Volvo’s safety dedication yet another step towards the vision of building cars that do not get involved in accidents. In the field of comfort, there are features such as the optional Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), which automatically maintains a set gap to the vehicle in front. What is new is that the Adaptive Cruise Control operates at speeds below 30 km/h, all the way down to standstill.
The ALL-NEW V60 is being launched with a range of exterior colours selected with immense care to emphasize the model’s inspiring lines. Among the 5 colours available are the Electric Silver, Ember Black, Ice White, Seashell and Flamenco Red. The ALL-NEW V60 is sold in 2 locally assembled variants, namely the T4 and the T5, which are priced at RM230,000 (T4) and RM269,000 (T5), both prices on-the-road, without insurance.
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 320 Nm of torque, available from 1800 to 5000 revs a minute, taking you from 0-100 km/h in 7.7 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 240 Nm from just 1600 and all the way up to 5000 revs a minute. An on-demand overboost function further increases torque to a massive 270 Newton metres. And with its fuel efficient dual-clutch Powershift transmission, the result is excellent pulling power across the entire speed range, providing a particularly comfortable driving experience yet consuming only 7.5 litres per 100km for a combined driving cycle in cities and highways.
