KUALA LUMPUR: Volvo Car Malaysia will extend its free Volvo Car Connect Plus data service by an extra year for eligible owners whose subscriptions are ending soon.
Previously known as Digital Services, Volvo Car Connect Plus is the data connectivity package offered alongside the latest generation of Google built-in Volvo cars, enabling tether-free media streaming, over-the-air updates, and seamless integration with Google’s software services.
Volvo Car Connect Plus offers up to five years’ free data connectivity bundled with new Volvo car purchases.
When the first generation of Google built-in Volvo cars were offered in Malaysia, customers were entitled to four years of free data connectivity.
This offer has since been increased to five years from the introduction of 2024 model year cars.
To reward this first wave of customers, Volvo Car Malaysia will now extend free Volvo Car Connect Plus services by another year to bring the offer in line with the latest models.
This extension will happen automatically and does not require a software update or SIM card replacement.
Eligible cars are model year 2022 (XC40 Recharge Pure Electric, XC60, XC60 Recharge, S90 Recharge) and model year 2023 (C40, XC40, XC40 Recharge Pure Electric, XC60, XC60 Recharge, XC90, XC90 Recharge, S60 Recharge, S90 Recharge, V60 Recharge).
Volvo Cars APeC region head of total offer Sun Qian said, “Customers who were early adopters can now have further peace of mind knowing that they, too, can enjoy a full five years of free data access without the hassle of subscribing to a new plan in the next few months.”
Another key benefit for owners is that Volvo Car Connect Plus subscriptions are connected to the vehicle, not the owner.
If the car changes hands, any remaining validity period and data quota of the subscription will be transferred to the new owner of the car, benefitting resale value.
