Dellie Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 So I've been checking in on the thai Volvo website every few months now since I test drove the new XC90 in Sweden to see when it will be available here and what engines, r-design etc but to date there is still no mention of the new model on the website. I've tried googling for an answer but get nothing. Does anyone here know when it's coming to Thailand? It's allready out in Sweden and most of Europe.

keemapoot Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I believe they're imported from Malaysia for the Thai market, so you might want to google some Malaysian sites to see if it has been released there etc., as a first step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish fingers Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Its around 4.5- 5M baht in Malaysia, first allocation sold out straight away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellie Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 Its around 4.5- 5M baht in Malaysia, first allocation sold out straight away Well if it stays at that price for the Thai market I would be very happy. That's about the same price as in Sweden for a well equipped one. I thought it would be alot more expensive here. Or is that price for the base model? If so it sounds more like the expensive Thai prices Im used to on European cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim walker Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 The Volvo garage is just next door to Lumpini Park View we went and had a look at the XC90 not a big selection of cars to choose from I think it was around the 4m Baht mark if I remember correctly for the XC90.

IMHO Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 The Volvo garage is just next door to Lumpini Park View we went and had a look at the XC90 not a big selection of cars to choose from I think it was around the 4m Baht mark if I remember correctly for the XC90. Brand new model?? 4M Baht is the old model... The new model is going to be at least 50% more expensive (probably more), whenever it finally arrives... In other markets, the base spec model in the new range is more expensive than the top-spec model was in the old range. For those not familiar with the car, this is the new model: And this is the old model: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyscot Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) Be sure to get the English manual (assuming it's your lingo of choice), we bought the xc60 a few months back, at the motor show,, called after we placed the order for then to ensure we get the English manual, with the car, only 2 weeks delivery on the car, but nearly 2 months later before the manual arrived, it arrived only 3 days after my wife posted on volvo thailand's Facebook page requesting it,, delighted with our Volvo, I'm sure you will be too if you go for it Edited August 8, 2015 by jonnyscot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still undecided though since it looks like only the D5 engine will be available in Thailand (from the little info I can find). A bit to weak for my taste. Considering the Porsche instead if that is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellie Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 So the new XC90 just got the highest euro NCAP test scores recorded for all cars this year (Volvo v40 scored higher in 2012 but the tests are much harder now so this years test scores are considered to be worth more). I hope this car makes it to Thailand soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reezide Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) I went to test-drive the XC90 the other day at the Volvo Pattankarn dealership and I must admit it's one of the best cars I've driven. They offered me up to 200,000 discount on the T8 entry version (400 hp) which you can see is starting at 4,490,000 on doorot here In this price range you'll not find a much better car considering size, engine and equipment.

MrJ Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 was sitting in it at Bangkok Motor Sale last weekend - fantastic design and interior quality e.g. leather, but don't know if i was in the market for that kind of car may opt for BMW/Benz instead as the Volvo is Chinese owned and no track record yet with local service and after sales......

Engine is built in Sweden and service etc controlled from Sweden.

I ment that everything is planned, designed, and when it comes to the engine still manufactured in Sweden. The cash infusion from Geely has only made Volvo better than it ever was with Ford.

But it looks like only the lower engines models are made there. Since only the volvos with lower spec engines are available in china. But they also make VEA for Geelys own brand. But who knows in the future. And who knows if its actually bad if it all gets moved to china. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
