xc60-t6-brochure

A brochure, detailing the specifications of the Volvo XC60 T6 has surfaced on the website of Volvo Federal Auto Glenmarie, indicating an impending launch of a more powerful variant of the Volvo XC60 - which is currently available in a single 'T5' spec.

It is expected to come with a tuned version of the Drive-E powerplant currently in service in the Volvo XC60 T5. The 2.0 litre, turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the 'T6' state of tune produces 306 hp and 400 Nm of torque, paired to an Aisin-sourced eight-speed automatic gearbox.

The incoming T6 betters the T5 with 18-inch rims as opposed to the 17-inch design on the latter, plus the addition of adaptive digital display on the instrument cluster - which is an option on the T5. The power increase is a definite welcome over the T5, which has 245 hp and 350 Nm of torque.

Apart from that, one can expect the full arsenal of safety features from the T5 to carry over. Volvo's 5+5+5 coverage plan - which includes a five-year warranty, five years of free service and a five-year access to the Volvo On Call roadside assistance service, is standard.

With the arrival of the T6 variant set to take place in the near future, all that is left out of the equation is the price. The T5 variant is priced at RM288,888 on-the-road without insurance. With that said, how much are you willing to pay for the added power and kit?
