2012 Volvo V60 All Set For Launch In Malaysia On Jan 11

The 2012 Volvo V60 will be launched in Malaysia next week, on January 11 to be precise. Volvo Car Malaysia has started drumming up online publicity for the extremely sleek and desirable coupe-like estate from some time ago, but has now confirmed the arrival date. To complement the Naughty Volvo S60 sedan, the V60, the five-door estate version of the S60, is confoundedly played up to be Wicked, though perhaps Seductive would be more appropriate?

Now, it leaves the small question of the pricing, which will be dictated by what engines are offered from the start—the 1.6 T4 with 180 HP and 240 Nm, the 2.0 T5 with 240 HP and 320 Nm, or the 3.0 T6 AWD with 304 HP and 440 Nm—and if the Volvo V60 is available in fully-imported or locally-assembled versions from launch.

Some things are for certain, like the Volvo V60's 430-litre boot, 40/20/40-split folding rear seats, and the 1095-mm wide tailgate. And there would be no sluggish handling typical of a utilitarian car: the V60 is targeted at S60 buyers who want extra space and practicality, so it gives the S60 a run for the money over “The Most Dynamic Volvo Model Ever” title. We shall find out soon enough! Enjoy the 2012 Volvo V60 official gallery below!
