2022 Volvo XC90 B5 AWD Inscription Plus Engine Specs

Volvo Car has abandoned its target of selling 1.2 million cars by 2025, confirms CEO Jim Rowan in an interview with Automotive News Europe. “The China market has changed dramatically in the last two or three years,” said Rowan. “The new car market there has diminished because there is now a big second-hand car market, which China never really had before”. This comes after the company slashed its 2024 full-year sales growth forecast by 3 percent. Volvo had initially forecast a 15% growth in retai

This is the 2025 Volvo XC90 facelift, arriving a full decade after its 2014 debut, and it’s a significant update both inside and out. What’s changed? In terms of design, the XC90’s face now borrows some cues from its fully electric cousins, the EX90 and EX30. The Thor’s Hammer headlights are now sharper, with a more pronounced T-shape, connected to a wider grille for a more cohesive look. And about that grille – love it or hate it – Volvo added a new criss-cross slat pattern, which seems to be a

The ageing Volvo XC90 is due for a major update in 2025. First launched in Malaysia in 2016, the ageing XC90 struggles to compete with the newer BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE, and Lexus RX, all of which have been refreshed with new generation models. Volvo is no longer paying as much attention to the XC90 as it had in the past because the company’s focus is now on the fully electric EX90. However, the EX90 is facing delays due to software glitches, and the BEV model will be delivered to customers wi

It’s perhaps a lesser-known fact, but Volvo pioneered the 7-seater SUV concept with the original Volvo XC90, offering a superb blend of space, practicality, safety, and performance. The second-generation Volvo XC90 further built on this foundation, underpinned by Volvo’s Scalable Product Architecture (SPA). This flagship model introduced a new range of plug-in hybrid powertrains, a fresh design language, and safety technology to influence a new era of Volvo models. Delivering a sublime blend of

Volvo Car Manufacturing Malaysia’s (VCMM) Shah Alam plant, a wholly owned subsidiary of Volvo Car Corporation, is throttling down output as the export of Volvo internal combustion engine (ICE) cars to Thailand slows. The VCMM plant produced zero cars in three out of the first six months of this year (January, April, and June), according to production data compiled by the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA). Between January to June 2024, the VCMM plant produced just 438 cars, 88% lower than th

These updates include a more powerful on-board charger, which Volvo Car Malaysia says it accommodates up to 6.4 kW two- or three-phase charging (up from single-phase 3.6 kW charging

As the saying goes, if something ain't broke don't fix it - but does that apply to the 2023 Volvo XC90, a car that has been around for more than seven years? At the outset, the XC90 was the first of an entirely new generation of Volvos – it introduced Volvo’s Scalable Product Architecture (SPA) platform an entirely new range of hybrid powertrains and a timeless Scandinavian design language that has inspired every Volvo model that came after it. But in truth, the 2023 XC90 is a substantially diff

Between now until 31-March 2023, all hybrid Volvo cars in Malaysia will enjoy a free 5-year service package (VSA5+). VSA5+, otherwise known as the 'Volvo Service Agreement 5 Plus’, is a 5-year comprehensive car service package from Volvo Cars that covers the first five car services including wear and tear items that may need to be replaced, as well as labour. All Volvo cars with a combustion engine have a 1-year / 20,000 km service interval. The promotion is available to customers who place thei

At the launch event of the Volvo C40 Recharge Pure Electric, Volvo Car Malaysia (VCM) teased the all-new EX90 in the form of a video played towards the end of the presentation, which suggests that the model has been earmarked for a local launch. However, there was no timeframe given nor any indication as to whether the Volvo EX90 will arrive as a fully-imported (CBU) model or a locally-assembled (CKD) model like the XC40 EV and C40. During its global debut, Volvo said that production of the EX90

Volvo has unveiled its flagship SUV, Volvo EX90. It’s a fully-electric (EV) 7-seater SUV and the company’s first purpose-built EV from the ground up. Popular opinion is that it will succeed the Volvo XC90 but since it uses a new EX naming convention, we think otherwise. Anyway, from how Volvo describes the EX90, it’s practically a computer on wheels. There are sensors like cameras, radars and lidar are connected to the car’s high-performance core computers, where the NVIDIA Drive runs Volvo Cars
