Anyone interested in a Volvo V60 Recharge T8 PHEV estate?

Volvo Car Malaysia has officially introduced the new 2022 Volvo V60 Recharge T8 for the Malaysian market today. This modern-day plug-in hybrid estate is said to offer a balance between dynamic performance as well as functionality. In our eyes, the looks are quite a big bonus, too.

The new Volvo V60 Recharge T8's main attraction has to be its 1.9-litre four-cylinder Drive-E engine with turbocharger and supercharger that produces 407hhp and 640Nm of torque (together with the electric motor). As for the PHEV aspect of the vehicle, the new V60 offers clean energy driving up to 49km on a single charge. If you play your cards right, it'll be quite some time before you have to fill up its 60-litre fuel tank.

Its exterior has been crafted to portray a strong identity for the Volvo V60 Recharge T8. It's simple enough to come across as minimalistic elegant without having to shout anything out. But once inside, things like its huge 9-inch centre display definitely speak for themselves. If that's not enough, perhaps its long list of driving aids might help.

Speaking of which, the Volvo V60 Recharge T8 comes with Volvo's IntelliSafe driving safety suite which includes:

• City Safety - Collision Avoidance & Mitigation with Intersection (Support Pedestrian, Cyclist & Large Animal Detection)
• Front & Rear Collision Warning & Mitigation Support
• Driver Alert Control (DAC)
• Oncoming Lane Mitigation
• Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Steer Assist
• Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) with Autobrake
• Lane Keeping Aid (LKA)
• Run-off Road Mitigation with Road Edge Detection

All of these can be yours from RM287,474 (on-the-road price excluding insurance, but with Sales Tax exemption). The all-new Volvo V60 Recharge T8 is already available for viewing and bookings at all authorised showrooms starting now. Four colours are up for grabs - Crystal White, Bright Silver, Onyx Black, and Thunder Grey.
