The refreshed XC60
The refreshed XC60, which was introduced last month, features new additions such as an athletic and elegant front grille, air suspension, and the latest intuitive technology.

The Single Motor EC40
For model year 2026, the Volvo EC40 – the brand’s first electric-only crossover SUV – is now available with a single motor variant, priced at RM248,888.
This new variant is offered exclusively in Ultra trim, featuring Volvo’s in-house developed rear electric motor with 175 kW (238 hp), enabling acceleration from 0–100 km/h in 7.3 seconds. Powered by a 70 kWh battery, it delivers up to 488 km (WLTP) of range and can be charged from 10–80% in just 26 minutes with fast DC charging.
A new Sand Dune exterior colour, inspired by Sweden’s west coast, makes its debut on the EC40, joining existing colourways Aurora Silver, Onyx Black, and Crystal White.
The new XC90
The new XC90, and Volvo’s flagship family SUV is also now available in a new Aurora Silver exterior colour, complementing the existing colours of Onyx Black, Denim Blue, and Crystal White.
The flagship family SUV is available in two powertrain options – the T8 plug-in hybrid or the B5 mild hybrid – each with 2.0 litre engine mated to an eight-speed Geartronic transmission powering all-wheel drive.
Priced at RM434,888, the electric motor in the XC90 Ultra T8 gives it a maximum combined power of 462 hp and 709 Nm of torque and fuel consumption as low was 1.8 litres per 100km. On the other hand, the XC90 Ultra B5 is offered at RM418,888 and brings a maximum of 249 hp of power and 350 Nm of torque.
Both variants comes with the top Ultra trim featuring a 11.2-inch centre display with the next-generation Volvo Cars UX, 12.3-inch driver display and a head-up display, next-generation Pilot Assist with adaptive cruise control, a 360-degree camera, Bowers & Wilkins High Fidelity audio, powered and ventilated front seats with memory function and four-way lumbar support, panoramic sunroof with powered sunshade, and four-zone climate control.
New user interface
To further complement the model year 2026 range is the introduction of Volvo Car UX, the brand’s next-generation user interface. Available as standard across all model year 2026 carlines globally, the new interface enhances ease of use with a refined vertical layout on the centre display, featuring larger buttons and dynamic shortcuts that appear contextually – such as direct access to drive modes at startup or a 360-degree camera button when slowing down to park.
