quite disappointed for a car at that price point and there is no ACC (ok, i cn accept that for a cheaper price) and need to top additional 2k up for digital meter cluster?!

i also wonder why, and wonder how, Cheaper price is advantage, but taking out special features like power boot and ACC i think, hmmm...

Maybe volvo Malaysia did a survey and study that malaysians don't use ACC or dont know how to use ACC. And other malaysian drivers always cut into your lane without signaling you thats why the ACC is utter crap. Just my assumption. Probably all in all is to see the market feedback if we really need a power boot and ACC. if we complain, maybe they put in back again next year.

That's why they take it out.

As for the power boot, they probably found that, Malaysians are always rushing, so waiting for the boot to close is just too long. So they remove it and plus most Malaysians are obese. Probably they feel that we need more exercise. Hehe.

Else the rest, new engine, new gear box, yup, its great to have new things at a slightly lower price.

maybe 2020 only come to Malaysia  doh.gif
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++ tongue.gif
how did you get T5 at 120K? selling price is 180K and discount 50K ah? so much?

the car with the most discount is the s60 T6 AWD. thats 50K discount.

its using 6 speed auto geartronic. not powershift (dual clutch) nor aisin sad.gif just booked it last week. havent gotten the car yet. test drove it that time feel the acceleration is slightly sluggish but bearable. power delivery is very good with 5 cylinder 2.0 turbo engine. wish it was drive-E tho. heard this 5 pot is fuel guzzler sad.gif

dont have money to splurge on the XC60 so have to settle with V40.
should be 70k "discount" tongue.gif  its actually tax free entitlement from the government under REP scheme.

I see, so you must be a profesional loh making 6 digit income, how come settle for v40 as you got special rights?

I were you, get a 911 for 300k,

Thanks. You must have a look at the rolling test, not a scratch on the car man.
