@@KonWaiLuen Hi Kon, I booked the XC40 instead after watching your detailed review on the pilot assist function of the red Volvo xc40.However, everyone has to wait for at least 6 months for the arrival of xc40...
Yes it will. Most people here in Singapore actually get the momentum with T5 as it is a better price (car here so expensive) T5 engine is a very good one as it is fast enough
I Managed to secure a test drive unit for T5 and got a good offer as they gave me styling kit as well but i do like the Inscription Grill and Chrome trim on windows. Any idea if Volvo will offer those as separate accessories or if you can recommend any aftermarket shop which can offer that? Loved your review and made my choice
Aftermarket accessories are less common for Volvo. You can ask your salesperson to see if they offer it, but otherwise, you may need to source them from abroad.
I tested Mercedes GLC200, Volvo XC60 T5 & BMW X3 3.0 several times each. BMW X3 is the best to drive, quietest, most engaging, most responsive to drive, and the built quality also the best. Among these 3 cars, the T5 is the worst to drive, although it may have more safety features than the other two cars; T5 feels pretty light to drive like a typical Japanese car.
P Lee ya I do find T5 engine to be a bit louder than X3. For me I find the 18inch 5 y-spoke rim to be a deal breaker. But if one polestar the T5 for additional 6K plus, that would be awesome.
They might offer it if there is sufficient demand, but as it is, the RM30k gap between the T5 and T8 mean that there is too little room to slot a T6 in between.
X3 suspension slightly more pliant. Other than that, the specs of the T5 is way higher than the X3. Which condo you live in? Many have successfully convinced their management to allow installation.
I test drove all the 3-GLC250, X3 and T5. GLC was too close to my C class. T5-nice drive, a light interior would have been a winner. chrome surround missing from windows. Feels like a ladies car. Extra 9K to extend maintenance from 2yrs to 5years. 2WD X3- good drive but disappointed BMW have taken out the safety features eg blind spot, Cross traffic warnings etc. 4WD. Feels big but actually the dimensions are similar to XC60.. Price after all the discounts is actually less than 10K from T5. Placed a deposit for X3. Delivery before SST not assured. Sigh.
This is perfect for those who don't want the PHEV powertrain.
Yeah man. Way better than I expected.
No matter how monotone your voice is, your reviews is still fun to watch
Hahaha.. thanks for watching man~!
Like your honest opinions Kon. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching!
Kon, thanks for making this video. I do appreciate watching it. You make me love the car after watching your video.
You bought one?

And of course after watching two of Bobby's reviews on the xc40😁😁
Hi Kon, thanks for your review, does the t5 have pilot assist feature like the t8?
Singapore gets the T6 but only on R Design with an all black interior. Wish they bring the Inscription in to Singapore
We don't get R Design, but I'm sure R Design would fly in our market.
Yes it will. Most people here in Singapore actually get the momentum with T5 as it is a better price (car here so expensive) T5 engine is a very good one as it is fast enough
the engine is good enough. what i would rather volvo malaysia had given us is the r-design trim.
Yeah. It's a waste we couldn't get the R-Design trim here in Malaysia

Thank you for the invaluable info.

The X3 definitely has class-leading dynamics, and the GLC 200 is actually rather good, but I don't feel the XC60 is far behind either.
"Glorified hole." ..........
Didn't come out right, did it?
sad..theres no t6 variant
They might offer it if there is sufficient demand, but as it is, the RM30k gap between the T5 and T8 mean that there is too little room to slot a T6 in between.
Kon.. the video's quite shaky la.. very hard to watch...
Sorry, could be loose mounting.
The scratch on the storage, is it normal? Prone to scratch?
I'm not sure, to be honest, but the grade of plastic does appear slightly lower than what I found in the T8.
what phone camera are you using?
Just my Samsung Galaxy J7
Between XC60 T5 and BMW X3 30i which one will you choose ? Why ? Will not consider PHEV cos living in condo, no charging facilities.
X3 suspension slightly more pliant. Other than that, the specs of the T5 is way higher than the X3. Which condo you live in? Many have successfully convinced their management to allow installation.
Thanks Bobby . Tropicana Gardens - relatively new condo . So your choice is T5 I presumed .
in his vid, Bobby recommends that you go for the T8 if you can afford the RM30k difference.

Are you sure X3 is 2WD? It should be 4WD, right? The one with the 258 bhp 2.0l engine...
Volvo Malaysia should keep the offer of t6. That will give Kon what he wanted.
Hahaha, I think the T5 is good enough for me.
