Which variant to buy

Most buyers should choose the RM328,888 B5 Core. Its 259 hp mild-hybrid petrol powertrain and AWD suit the XC60’s role without stretching to the range-topper’s price. The RM362,888 T8 Ultra costs RM34,000 more and is the one to choose if 460 hp and plug-in hybrid running are priorities. Both have the same 1,969 cc capacity, AWD layout, automatic gearbox and five-seat cabin, so check the equipment list before treating the Ultra badge alone as reason to spend more.

Verdict

The XC60 is positioned at the premium end of the compact executive SUV field, with the B5 priced close to the BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC, while undercutting the Audi Q5. The T8 brings a substantial 460 hp and plug-in hybrid capability, but demands RM34,000 more than the B5. Its 2025 facelift also brings a larger 11.2-inch Google-built-in infotainment screen and revised cabin. The XC60 has passed 2.7 million sales across 17 years, becoming Volvo’s best-selling model.
