The car will even have what Volvo calls “Swedish air,” a system that closes external ducts when it detects outside pollution.

Volvo Says Its New SUV Will Be Cleaner Than a Prius

hi I have been servicing my car at Federal Auto Midvalley, but the price feels like crazy, anyone can recommend a volvo specialist that is recommended and doesn't cut throat? i heard about someone in TTDI, any reviews there?

btw my car is a volvo s40 2.4i non turbo and its 8 years old

trade in for new v40 for 555 package

>.< dun wan trade in la..the car is still in pristine condition only 30k mileage very nice

If u are okay, at Chan Sow Lin opposite Honda SC there is 1. The place is more like a Volvo half cut shop rather than a specialist shop

go back to SC bro like that, my experience with these 'so called' specialists aren't any cheaper than SC, especially when it comes to problems they aren't familiar with. They are trial and error and ruin a lot more than they fix.

Looking to get an older V40, any recommended mechanics that I could take the car to inspect/opinions before purchasing?

rcracer, really ka? oklaa, looks like no choice i guess.but can we bring our own "parts" like black oil, etc?

Woh, 2015 XC90 headlight

http://bit.ly/1sLHxEj

2015 xc90 is imo one of the most exciting cars to be launched this year...excited!

should be can lah, no more under warranty what they want to make noise about.

i mean it's my experience last time with a volvo 940, those outside fellas not say much better, a lot trial and error ending up changing parts which do not require changing to solve a problem

Any news when the new facelift S60 will be launch?

most probably next year now. sick of waiting... booked V40 T5.

good choice, else, you may even have to wait beyond 2017

but 2017 may works well for me

Haha...you migrated from Insight to V40...juz like me

Haven't seen the new XC60 yet, but from what I read, VM removed quite a bit of features compared to the previous version. ACC is very useful for highway driving, but not good for traffic congestions where other cars can easily cut in front of the your car because of the big gap. I think the LDW and RSI has been removed too. The power tailgate feature is actually very nice to use, adds a touch of luxury to the model because only high-end SUVs and sedans have that feature. RSI isn't very useful and LDW is also useful for highway driving because it alerts you if you drift out of your lane. I use it only when I'm on the highway; normal city roads, I de-activate it.

Based on paper specs, the new Drive-e engine and 8-spd GB is damn good... more Hp and torque, faster acceleration and lower fuel consumption. I'm averaging 7.5km/ltr with 60% city and 40% highway driving. The digital display will be useful to see the speed because the short, thin floating needle in my XC60 is hard to see when I'm going fast.

Other than the fuel consumption, all in all, the XC60 is still a good SUV to have; made even better now with the improvement in the engine and GB at a lower price.

maybe 2020 only come to Malaysia


haha. feels like downgrade coz the car is smaller. especially boot. was aiming on S60 facelift but i cant wait anymore. my REP entitlement is ending soon... Booked the V40 T5 for RM 120k++

I wish they bring in ACC for V40 and upgrade it to Drive-E engine for T5... You can adjust the distance between the front cars with ACC. Think it can go as near as possible but still malaysian cars will be able to "cut in"

Bro, you also have REP. I bought the XC60 under my SIL REP quota, cost 212k and I added 30k worth of accessories like the RSE, front and rear cameras, body kits and internal storage parts.

The shortest distance for ACC is around 1.5-2 cars' length; can't go nearer than that. I tried it with low speed and high speed; all the same. But I have to admit the Powershift GB is quite smooth too; hardly feel the down/up shift when changing gears.

Is your V40 using the 6-spd Powershift or 8-spd Aisin GB? And how well does the cross traffic alert work?
