Volvo Car Malaysia has officially opened a new 2S (Service & Spare Parts) centre in Kuching, Sarawak, marking a significant step in strengthening its network across East Malaysia.
Operating under the Sebangga Group, the new facility takes over the familiar automotive space along Jalan Pending – ensuring local Volvo owners continue to receive seamless, premium care.
Currently, Volvo Car Kuching is entirely dedicated to after-sales service and parts. However, Sebangga Mitsinbo is already laying the groundwork to upgrade the site into an official dealership. In the meantime, customers looking to purchase a new Volvo can still place their orders through Sebangga Mitsinbo’s established Kota Kinabalu branch.
Chris Wailes, Managing Director of Volvo Car Malaysia and Thailand, shared: “Our relationship with customers is very important to us. We are deeply committed to maintaining a robust, accessible network of service centres – and soon, complete dealerships across Malaysia.
“Bringing Sebangga Mitsinbo into Kuching ensures our Sarawakian owners get the uncompromising care they deserve, cementing this centre as a key pillar in our wider national network.”
Dato’ Arif Ambrose Ng, Chairman of Sebangga Group, added: “We are incredibly proud to build on our partnership with Volvo Car Malaysia and finally bring the Sebangga footprint into Sarawak. Our presence will allow us to immediately start looking after the local Volvo community.
“We are hyper-focused on delivering top-tier service today, but we are already looking forward to transforming this space into a complete sales destination in the near future.”

Specifications
The biggest update for the Volvo EX90 is the adoption of an 800V electrical architecture, contributing to reduced overall weight and significantly faster charging performance.
Power comes from a twin‑motor electric setup delivering 680 hp and 870 Nm, enabling the EX90 to sprint from 0–100 km/h in 4.2 seconds.
With a 106 kWh battery pack, the EX90 offers up to 617 km WLTP range on a full charge.
DC fast charging is supported up to 350 kW, allowing the battery to be charged from 10–80% in just 22 minutes.

Volvo EX90 Specifications
The SUV received updates in September last year, introducing a new 800V electric architecture that replaces the previous 400V system.
With the 800V setup, EX90 owners can add 250 km of driving range in just 10 minutes using a 350 kW DC fast charger.
As before, the Volvo EX90 features a dual‑motor electric setup with all‑wheel drive, delivering 680 hp and 870 Nm of torque.
The 0–100 km/h sprint takes only 4.2 seconds.
The upgraded electrical platform also reduces overall vehicle weight and improves sustainability by lowering copper usage.
Additionally, the EX90 receives a significant computing upgrade powered by dual Nvidia Drive AGX Orin chips.
With up to 500 TOPS of processing capability, the EX90’s safety systems benefit from enhanced data processing, software integration and artificial intelligence (AI).
According to a report by Paultan, the Volvo EX90 will be offered as a locally assembled (CKD) model.
Volvo Car Malaysia has announced its collaboration with TV3 for the 40th edition of Anugerah Juara Lagu (AJL40).
As the official transportation partner — or Rakan Selamat — Volvo brings its philosophy of safety and peace of mind to Malaysia’s biggest music stage.
Supporting the Transportation of Top Artists
Earlier this year, Volvo sponsored the transportation of artists during the AJL40 promotional tour held nationwide throughout July and August.
Ahead of the grand finale, Volvo’s premium lineup — including the ES90 sedan, XC90 and XC60 SUVs, as well as the EC40 and EX30 electric SUVs — will accompany the 10 finalists competing for the coveted title.
This historic collaboration with AJL40 provides Volvo with a meaningful platform to bring its human‑centric vision closer to Malaysians. It also follows the brand’s Selamat campaign, launched earlier in January.
In addition, Volvo Car Malaysia has introduced the Selamat Calculator, developed in partnership with Mr Money TV.
A Shared Vision of Safety and Confidence
Patricia Yaw, Director of Sales and Marketing at Volvo Car Malaysia, shared:
“Our Selamat philosophy is about protecting what matters most and creating a space that brings peace of mind. As ‘Rakan Selamat’, we want to offer Malaysia’s finest talents a moment of calm confidence inside our vehicles. At the same time, this collaboration allows us to welcome more families to experience the uncompromised luxury and safety that define Volvo.”
Nini Yusof, Chief Executive Officer of Media Prima Television Networks and Primeworks Studios, welcomed Volvo’s involvement:
“The presence of a brand like Volvo — one that consistently champions safety and family values — aligns perfectly with our vision and adds tremendous significance to this milestone celebration.”
Volvo Car Malaysia has introduced the Volvo Wallbox as a complement to its existing battery electric vehicle (BEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) offerings.
The 11 kW wall charger offers the following features:
a sleek, weatherproof exterior design with an IP55 rating
a standard Type 2 cable
full control via the Volvo Cars app using Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or SIM card connectivity
two RFID cards to facilitate shared charging access
connectivity with an external energy meter, particularly for homes equipped with solar panels
According to Sun Qian, Head of Commercial Marketing APeC at Volvo Cars, “Our commitment is to always support customers in every aspect, starting from the first day of Volvo ownership.
“This new Volvo Wallbox is directly connected to the Volvo Cars app.
“It empowers drivers to control not only the vehicle, but the entire home charging system via their smartphone screen,” he added.
The Volvo wall charger is available at all authorised Volvo dealers nationwide, with a retail price of RM3,990.
Each purchase comes with a comprehensive 36-month hardware warranty.
Volvo has also partnered with EV Connection Sdn Bhd to offer installation packages starting from as low as RM1,600.
Volvo Car Malaysia introduces the Selamat Calculator, an interactive reflection exercise developed in partnership with Mr Money TV to drive home the weight of one’s absence and everything it carries.
As part of its life-long commitment to safety, Volvo continues its Selamat mission of empowering and educating Malaysian drivers to make more conscious choices by quantifying what is truly at stake – and reinforcing the importance of being protected when things go wrong.
The Selamat Calculator is designed to turn an unimaginable possibility into a tangible reflection. It asks the difficult question: What happens if you never say, or receive, another “Selamat” again? Through a series of questions covering age, career, income, dependants, lifestyle, and personal stakes, the experience generates a safety risk profile alongside an estimate of the financial and emotional impact left behind, from transferred financial burdens and interrupted progress to futures left unrealised.
Participants are grouped into one of four life-stage profiles: the backbone of the family, the co-pilot in a partnership, the independent soloist with a future ahead, and the climber who has worked tirelessly to build the life they have today. More importantly, the self-assessment experience serves as a reminder that the consequences of inattention, complacency, and inaction are not measured only in a split second, but in the unlived moments, unfinished futures, and people we stand to lose if one day we do not make it home.
Patricia Yaw, Sales & Marketing Director of Volvo Car Malaysia, said: “Nothing is worth more than your life, but there are still times when we forget and take our safety for granted – drivers are humans after all. The Selamat Calculator isn’t meant to put a price on a life, but to act as a gentle reminder to appreciate the value of our presence and what stands to be lost in our absence. Because the true value of our Selamat isn’t measured by wealth but in the people we hold close and the accomplishments we make.”
Peter Yong, CEO & Co-Founder of Mr Money TV, said: “At the end of the day, financial literacy is about more than managing numbers; it’s about how we value our most precious resource – our lives. We often prioritise luxuries while overlooking the silent “investments” that keep us around to enjoy them. The Selamat Calculator serves as a wake-up call, encouraging reflection on what truly matters and reminding us that the best and most important choices are not always financial ones, but the simplest: buckling our seatbelts, getting enough rest, or exercising patience behind the wheel. Safety is a shared responsibility. When we choose to stay safe, we do so not only for ourselves, but for everyone else on the road.”
The Selamat Calculator is one of several educational initiatives introduced by Volvo Car Malaysia to reinforce the importance of road safety fundamentals. Alongside the flagship Selamat Driving Experience set to take place on 16 – 17 May 2026, it forms part of Selamat – a thematic campaign by Volvo Car Malaysia, with the aim of transforming road safety from a regulatory obligation into a shared culture of responsibility.
“Selamat is in Volvo’s DNA and every Malaysian’s spirit. In every ‘Selamat’ we say, there’s a quiet wish that our loved ones arrive, live and return safely. Volvo carries the same hope that those around us are protected wherever they go, so that they can live for the moments that matter. We want to be part of the moment that matters most: the journey home.” said Yaw.
The Selamat Calculator is now available online at volvocarmalaysia.com/selamat, inviting Malaysians to reflect on the value of every journey home.
Volvo Car Malaysia is set to host the Selamat Driving Experience at the Driving Experience Center, Sepang Circuit on May 16-17.
This event is part of the “Selamat” campaign launched by VCM in January 2026.
The campaign aims to foster a culture of road safety and prioritize safety as a major criterion in vehicle selection.
According to Patricia Yaw, Sales and Marketing Director of VCM, “The Selamat Driving Experience is designed to raise awareness among participants to reassess their habits on the road.
She further explained that through an immersive driving simulation, participants can understand the negative effects that arise from careless attitudes.
Limited Spaces Available
Participation is limited to 192 participants on a first-come, first-served basis.
During the two days, participants will experience facing emergency situations in a safe and controlled environment.
They will also have the opportunity to test Volvo’s advanced safety features, including Safe Space Technology that utilizes Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The registration fees are as follows:
Volvo Owners – RM150
Non-Volvo Owners – RM300
Non-participants in driving – RM100
Each Volvo car owner is allowed to use their registered VIN only once.
Parents are advised not to bring children under the age of 18 for safety reasons.
Following an extraordinary response, Volvo Car Malaysia is once again providing customers with the opportunity to acquire a lineup of certified used SUVs through Volvo Selekt.
For a limited time, 100 pre-owned vehicles are now available at all Volvo showrooms nationwide.
Unlike standard used car offerings, these exclusive 100 units come directly from Volvo Car Malaysia’s corporate executive fleet, as well as dealer demo units.
Advantages of Volvo Selekt Vehicles
Each unit undergoes a rigorous 125-point inspection by trained Volvo technicians, receives necessary software updates, and is fitted with genuine Volvo parts.
The vehicles offered in this program have mileage as low as 7,000 km and do not exceed 16,000 km.
Additionally, every unit is still covered by the remaining five-year warranty, with no mileage limit, 24-hour roadside assistance, and digital service connectivity.

The rear door also opens wider now.

Public Cannot Purchase This EV
Unfortunately, the Volvo EX30 Cargo is only available through Volvo UK’s fleet vehicle sales channels.
This means that private buyers are not allowed to take home the EX30 Cargo.
The starting price is £36,010 (approximately RM192,007), making it more expensive than the standard EX30 version, which comes with rear seating.
Volvo Car Malaysia has just launched the electric sedan, the Volvo ES90 for the local market.
Assembled at the Shah Alam plant, the Volvo ES90 is priced starting from RM339,888.
Here are some key facts about the ES90 that you need to know:
Dimensions
The ES90 measures 5,000 mm in length, 2,120 mm in width, and 1,550 mm in height, with a wheelbase exceeding 3 meters (3,102 mm), contributing to a more spacious cabin.
Standard cargo space is 424 liters, which can expand to 904 liters when the second-row seats are folded down.
The front trunk has a capacity of 27 liters.
All four wheel arches are fitted with 22-inch rims.
The drag coefficient is an impressive low of just 0.25.
Single Motor Extended Range variant
For the Malaysian market, the Volvo ES90 is available in a single variant, the Single Motor Extended Range.
This sedan is powered by a rear-wheel-drive electric motor that produces 333 hp and 480 Nm of torque.
It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.6 seconds and has a top speed of 180 km/h.
Battery & Charging
The ES90 is equipped with a 92 kWh NCM battery pack and an 800-volt electrical architecture, allowing a range of up to 651 km (WLTP data).
This electric sedan supports AC charging at 11 kW (a full charge at 100% in 10 hours) and DC fast charging of up to 350 kW.
This means the battery can be charged from 10% to 80% state of charge (SoC) in as little as 22 minutes.
Standard features
The Volvo ES90 comes with active air suspension, headlights designed with Thor’s hammer graphics, and C-shaped LED taillights.
The cabin features include a panoramic glass roof with electrochromatic functionality, a 9-inch digital display, a center screen measuring 14.5 inches, a Bowers & Wilkins sound system with 1,610 watts and Dolby Atmos and Abbey Road Studios sound experiences, as well as a 4-zone climate control system.
The ES90 is also the first Volvo model equipped with the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Orin computing system, featuring 5G capabilities and support for over-the-air updates.
Safety
In addition to a robust frame, the Volvo ES90 comes with seven cameras, five radars, and 12 ultrasonic sensors, as well as a system that can detect the driver’s level of attention on the road.

Additionally, this sedan is equipped with a 360-degree three-dimensional surround camera system to ease maneuvering in tight spaces.
Volvo has officially introduced the all-new mid-sized SUV EX60 to the global market.
Here are some key facts you should know:
Three powertrain options
To start, the Volvo EX60 is available in three new powertrain variants, detailed as follows:
P6 Electric
single electric motor: 347 hp/480 Nm
acceleration: 0-100 km/h in 5.9 seconds
battery pack: 83 kWh
driving range: 620 km
P10 AWD Electric
dual electric motors: 510 hp/710 Nm
acceleration: 0-100 km/h in 4.6 seconds
battery pack: 95 kWh
driving range: 660 km
P12 AWD Electric
dual electric motors: 680 hp/710 Nm
acceleration: 0-100 km/h in 3.9 seconds
battery pack: 117 kWh
driving range: 810 km
According to Volvo, the EX60 will be available in a total of seven variants to meet various customer needs and lifestyles.
First car from the SPA3 platform
The Volvo EX60 is the first model to come from the SPA3 architecture, powered by the HuginCore computing system.
This system utilizes technologies such as cell-to-body, self-developed electric motors, and lightweight ‘mega casting’ to improve energy efficiency.
It also helps the EX60 achieve the lowest carbon footprint for a Volvo electric vehicle, matching the value of the EX30.
400 kW charging
Volvo states that the EX60 can add a range of up to 340 km in just 10 minutes using 400 kW fast charging.
The P6 and P10 AWD variants support DC charging at 300 kW (10-80 percent in 18 minutes), while the P12 AWD variant supports DC charging of up to 400 kW (10-80 percent state of charge in 19 minutes).
Exterior
In terms of exterior design, the EX60 continues the minimalist Scandinavian approach seen in other EV models like the EX30 and EX90.
As a result, the Volvo EX60 achieves a drag coefficient as low as 0.26, contributing to its class-leading overall driving range.
The Volvo EX60 measures 4,803 mm in length, 1,908 mm in width, and 1,635 mm in height, with a nearly 3-meter (2,970 mm) wheelbase.
Interior
The long wheelbase and flat floor design provide ample legroom and storage space.
Unfortunately, Volvo still integrates all main vehicle controls into the central infotainment screen.
Other features include a Bowers & Wilkins audio system with 28 speakers, Apple Music, and Dolby Atmos sound experience.
The Volvo EX60 is also the first Volvo car to come equipped with Google’s Gemini AI technology.
The cargo space measures 634 liters and can expand to 1,647 liters with the second-row seats folded down. Additionally, the frunk space is 58 liters.
Cross Country trim available
Volvo has confirmed the launch of the EX60 Cross Country variant, which features:
A ground clearance that is 20 mm higher
Adaptive suspension with an additional 20 mm adjustment
Volvo Car Malaysia has opened interest registrations for the upcoming electric sedan model, the Volvo ES90, which is set to be launched this month.
The sedan will be offered as a locally assembled model (CKD), joining the existing range of CKD Volvo models in Malaysia.
According to Patricia Yaw, Sales & Marketing Director of Volvo Car Malaysia, “This year is very meaningful for us as Volvo celebrates its 60th anniversary in Malaysia.
“What’s more special is that this achievement is celebrated with the Volvo ES90 CKD, our first fully electric sedan.”
The Volvo ES90 shares the same SPA2 (Scalable Product Architecture) platform as the Volvo EX90 and features the following:
800V electric architecture
Fast DC charging up to 350 kW (10-80 percent SoC in 22 minutes)
Volvo Car Malaysia has also announced an early incentive of 2 percent for each ES90 purchase, limited to the first 100 units ordered by March 31, 2026.
Volvo Car Malaysia is rebranding its industry-first aftersales assurance initiative as the Volvo Genuine Parts Extended Warranty programme, offering a lifetime warranty at no additional cost on Volvo Genuine Parts installed at authorised Volvo dealerships nationwide.
This programme, tailored for customers whose Volvo cars have exceeded the standard warranty, sets a high benchmark in Malaysia’s premium car segment. It underscores the company’s ongoing commitment to product quality, customer satisfaction, and reducing the total cost of long-term ownership with parts that are guaranteed “For Life”.
Unlike the standard warranty included with a new vehicle purchase, the Volvo Genuine Parts Extended Warranty provides lifetime coverage, including labour costs, for all eligible Volvo Genuine Parts installed by authorised Volvo dealers outside the standard manufacturers’ warranty.
All Volvo Genuine Parts are covered under the extended warranty except wholesale, over-the-counter, consumables, batteries, accessories, and wear-and-tear parts. Parts covered by the Volvo Genuine Parts Extended Warranty can be replaced unlimited times subject to the specified exceptions.
The extended warranty also covers eligible remanufactured Volvo Genuine Parts that were sold and installed through authorised dealers, as well as parts that require replacement by an authorised Volvo workshop in a different country participating in the extended warranty programme, if the defect occurs there.
If a defective part covered under the Volvo Genuine Parts Extended Warranty causes a failure in other parts eligible under the extended warranty, those parts will also be replaced free of charge.
To qualify for coverage, parts must be purchased and installed on or after 1 October 2021 at an authorised Volvo dealership, with a valid invoice as proof of installation.
The lifetime warranty is non-transferable and applies only to one ownership, including fleet and company cars, and customers are required to follow Volvo’s recommended maintenance schedule.
Vehicles that have not visited a Volvo authorised workshop for more than two years after the standard warranty will need to undergo a health check at the owners cost to ensure that the vehicle is in good condition and not been modified or tampered in any way.
The validity of the Volvo Genuine Parts Extended Warranty is subject to the vehicle being subsequently serviced and maintained at Volvo’s authorised service network.
The era of large wagons from Volvo has officially come to an end with the last production unit of the Volvo V90 rolling off the assembly line at the Torslanda factory in Sweden.
The final black unit of the Volvo V90 is now part of the Volvo Heritage Collection, which will be displayed at the World of Volvo alongside earlier wagon models.
This luxury mid-size wagon was officially introduced in 2016, about two months after the launch of the S90 sedan.
In addition to the standard version, there was also a Cross Country variant with higher ground clearance and a more rugged appearance.
Volvo V60
With the V90 model discontinued, the Swedish brand, known for its iconic wagon designs, now only has one wagon in its portfolio—the Volvo V60.
Like the V90, the V60’s fate will not last long.
This is because Volvo CEO Jim Rowan told Autocar that while the V60 is still being produced, it will not be renewed after its life cycle ends.
Rowan also suggested repositioning the XC60 with variants like a Black Edition or Cross Country to attract wagon buyers.
The withdrawal of the Volvo V90 from the market clearly brings good news for competing models such as the Audi A6 Avant, BMW 5 Series Touring, and Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate, which remain available in the European market.
However, for Volvo wagon enthusiasts, this latest development is undoubtedly another piece of bittersweet news to swallow.
There’s no need to blame Volvo for this, considering that the world is leaning more towards crossover and SUV models.
If the wagon models had continued to demonstrate strong sales, the iconic name V90 surely would not have been etched on a gravestone so soon.
