Kuala Lumpur, 19 September 2008 – Beginning today the very latest and stylish Volvo cars are now available in Malaysia.

“I am very pleased to announce that with the launch of the new Volvo V50 2.4i today, Malaysians have the choice of the very latest selection of premium Volvo cars to choose - from luxurious sedans, stylish coupes, to purposeful wagons and award-winning SUVs,” said Robert Norrman, President of Volvo Car Malaysia.

And with the launch of the new V50 2.4i, Norrman announced that Volvo Car Malaysia’s entire line-up of cars are entirely brand new and therefore has a Volvo to suit everyone.

The new V50 2.4i is a timeless five door wagon that is engineered to live up to the expectations of the younger buyers looking for a compact premium estate for their stylish weekend outings. It is living up to its heritage of stylish ritzy Scandinavian cars.

“It’s everything you and your family would need, a swanky cool wagon with added sportiness and premium feel, lots of cargo space and fantastic audio system with smooth road manners. And during all your rugged adventurous trips you can always count on Volvo’s iconic safety features to protect you.”

“The new Volvo V50 has everything in its right place. A brilliant combination of understated luxury, ingenious storage and innovative design - it achieves a near perfection in form and function, beauty and brains,” Norrman said.

Priced at RM185,500 (on-the-road without insurance), the new Volvo V50 2.4i comes in three colors – titanium grey, electric silver and black sapphire.

“The additional good news about the new V50 2.4i is that it would give buyers who are already specifically interested in a wagon, an alternative option to the existing V50 T5 version, which is priced at RM223,500 (on the road with insurance),” said Norrman.
