The New 2025 Facelifted Volvo XC90 - The most favourite Volvo SUV is better than ever for Malaysia and actually cheaper to buy here than in the UK

At the launch of the 2025 Volvo EX90 fully electrified SUV, Volvo Car Malaysia also launched the facelifted 2025 Volvo XC90 Twin Engine (hybrid) SUV. The facelift as usual brings an update to the exterior styling and most notably upgrades the user interface to bring Volvo Cars’ popular flagship SUV closer to the marque’s fully electric models. Other upgrades to the XC90 is a redesigned cockpit and larger user central display, upgraded suspension and interior materials, and improved sound insulation better than ever refinement and comfort.

Volvo Car Malaysia today launched the locally-assembled Volvo XC90 T8 Twin Engine – the first ever Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) assembled in Malaysia. In addition to that, Malaysia will be the first country outside of Sweden to produce the XC90 T8 Twin Engine, thanks to huge investments made by the company to improve current infrastructure and capabilities of the local plant to handle Volvo’s SPA (Scalable Product Architecture) platform. This special SUV will also be exported to Thailand, and Volvo is also looking to do the same to other countries in the ASEAN region
