Volvo Car Malaysia opens new 2S centre in Kuching

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.”

Volvo Car Malaysia launches ‘Selamat Calculator’, encouraging Malaysians to reassess safety

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 reintroduces Genuine Parts Extended Warranty programme

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.

To check if your Volvo parts are eligible for the Volvo Genuine Parts Extended Warranty program, please visit the nearest authorized Volvo dealerships. For more information, visit https://www.volvocars.com/my/l/volvo-genuine-parts-extended-warranty/.

Volvo EX90, XC90 now open for booking in Malaysia – from RM450k

Volvo Car Malaysia has announced that it has opened orders for its two soon-to-be-launched seven-seat SUVs: the Volvo EX90 and the XC90.

The official pricing for both models has not yet been disclosed; however, according to Volvo, the EX90 and XC90 are expected to retail at around RM450,000.

Details regarding the variants and specifications remain undisclosed, but for the EX90, it is likely that Volvo Car Malaysia will offer the range-topping Twin Motor Performance variant, which was previewed to the media last week.

With a pair of electric motors (one on each axle) delivering 517 PS and an earth-shattering 910 Nm, the EX90 Twin Motor Performance can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds.

The Twin Motor variant also features two electric motors, but with lower output at 408 PS and 770 Nm. That being so, the century sprint time is also longer, at 5.9 seconds.

For the battery, the EX90 is equipped with an NMC battery with a capacity of 111 kWh, providing a range of up to 600 km for the Twin Motor and 590 km for the Twin Motor Performance. Charging from 10% to 80% takes approximately 30 minutes via a DC fast charger.

Built on the SPA2 platform (in contrast to the XC90 which uses the SPA platform), the EX90 measures 5,037 mm in length, 1,964 mm in width, and 1,747 mm in height, meaning it is longer, wider, and lower compared to the XC90. Its wheelbase measures 2,985 mm, just 1 mm longer than that of the XC90.

As can be seen, the exterior design closely resembles that of the EX30, featuring the Iron Mark logo at the front, Thor’s Hammer-shaped LED pixel daytime running lights, and C-shaped LED tail lights. Unless turned on, the main headlight units are not visible, as they are ‘hidden’ behind the row of pixel lights.

Inside, the EX90 showcases a minimalist theme that has become synonymous with the Swedish brand. Key features include a 14.5-inch touchscreen, a 9.0-inch digital instrument panel, a Bowers & Wilkins audio system, and a panoramic glass roof.

Volvo XC90 facelift

As for the XC90, the facelift version is expected to continue being offered here in a PHEV variant known as the T8. It is powered by a combination of a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine and an electric motor at the rear axle, producing 455 PS and 709 Nm of torque.

Chris Wailes, Managing Director of Volvo Car Malaysia commented, “With the imminent introduction of the Volvo EX90 and new XC90 for Malaysia, we are making good progress towards our global ambitions of 90 to 100 percent electrified car sales before the end of the decade. Last year, our BEV and PHEV models already made up more than 80 percent of our sales.”
