A recent check on Volvo Car Malaysia’s website has shown that the pre-facelift Volvo S90 has been dropped from the local line-up, suggesting that the facelift model is coming sooner than later.

The facelifted Volvo S90 made its regional debut in Thailand late last year, imported (CBU) from Malaysia.

Seeing that the rest of Volvo Malaysia’s line-up now features the Recharge (PHEV variants) badging, there’s a good chance that the Malaysian-spec Volvo S90 facelift will get the same treatment.

Globally, the facelifted Volvo S90 gets a new 48-volt mild hybrid option, in addition to a number of turbocharged petrol and diesel engines.

That said, seeing that the Thai-spec car features the same T8 Twin Engine petrol-electric hybrid powertrain from before, there is a good possibility that the Malaysian-spec model will mirror this configuration.

This petrol-electric combo offers a combined system output of 407 PS and 640 Nm.

What else is new?

Bowers & Wilkins sound system

Specifications of the Malaysian-spec car have not yet been revealed, but one can expect a tweaked exterior with new front fog lights, a new spoiler design, new design elements in the taillamps, and new bumpers with more pronounced chrome pieces – just like the Thai-spec car.
