He was speaking to reporters at the launch of the new C30 face-lifted model where he said that the recall would not bear any major impacts or significance, particularly in terms of the brand’s popularity among Malaysians. He was quick to add that if there would be any problems, then the company will surely take the necessary action and to ensure that their customers’ welfare are taken care of. Furthermore, the recall of the models in South Korea, which are the S80 D5 and the XC70 D5 are not the ones which are sold in Malaysia. Those which are recalled are the ones which were produced from August 2006 to May 2008 from Sweden.
Volvo Malaysia was rolling out the new 2 door sports C30 coupe face-lifted model which comes in the C30 2.0 and the C30 T5 R-Design variants respectively which according to Tay is targeted as the more younger market segment and the not-so traditional group as the brand is often so related to. The entry level C30 2.0 comes with a 145 horsepower paired with a 6 speed dual clutch transmission gearbox which costs RM215,000 while at RM259,000, you can opt for the top of the range 2.5 liter,5 cylinder T5 R-Design version which is boosted by 230 horses and mated with its own 5 speed gear-tronic transmission gearbox.
As mentioned, the company is targeting the young where this is where you get a more sporty and dynamically designed model where the C30 boasts of a 8% better fuel efficiency as compared to its original version. On top of that, there would only be 18 units available and that half of them are already booked, so if you want one, better get to a Volvo showroom as soon as you can.
