It is priced at RM280,888 (on-the-road, without insurance, inclusive of GST).
Limited units are available at authorised Volvo showrooms, and it comes in Ice White, Seashell, Ember Black, Saville Grey and Bright Silver.
The locally assembled facelifted S60 T6 has a supercharged and turbocharged 2.0-litre Drive-E engine that delivers 306hp at 5,700rpm and 400Nm of torque at 2,100 to 4,800rpm.
Mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox, the powerful 4-cylinder T6 Drive-E engine uses the supercharger to fill in the bottom end gives the engine a big, naturally aspirated feel.
The mechanically linked compressor starts to function immediately at low revs, while the turbocharger kicks in when the airflow builds up.
Fuel consumption with the new 8-speed automatic is 6.7 litres per 100km.
"The new Drive-E powertrain range uses supercharging and turbocharging, and advanced transmissions for high performance and efficient fuel consumption. It focuses on transverse 4-cylinder 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engines, as well as 3-cylinder 1.5-litre petrol variants," said Volvo Car Malaysia managing director Lennart Stegland.
New features include Park Assist Pilot which allows semi-automated parking, as the car can steer itself while the driver handles the gearbox and controls the car’s speed.
Park Assist Pilot uses front, rear and side-facing ultrasonic sensors for parking manoeuvres.
Another new feature is Lane Keeping Aid which helps the driver to stay in the lane, by applying extra steering torque to the steering column when the car gets close to a lane marking and is about to leave the lane.
The system is active at speeds between 65 and 200kph.
As a first step, Lane Keeping Aid applies gentle steering wheel torque to help the driver steer back onto the intended course.
If the car leaves the lane, a distinctive warning is delivered via a haptic vibration in the steering wheel.
As for the revised front looks, the previously visible washer nozzles have been relocated out of sight under the bonnet.
The radar cover has been painted gloss black and now blends better with the grille.
The chrome frame around the grille has been removed and there is a new, bigger ironmark badge.
Other safety systems include Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection with full auto brake, City Safety system with full auto brake that is active at speeds up to 50kph, Active High Beam Control, Blind Spot Information System and Cross Traffic Alert.
Comfort features include leather upholstery, powered front seats, electronic climate control, Interior Air Quality System, and rear air-conditioning vents.
There is also a Sensus Connect audio system with eight speakers, amplifier, seven-inch colour screen, DVD player with MP3 decoder, navigation system with voice control, and Bluetooth.
