Volvo Roadshow @ Highstreet 1 Utama
In this blog entry, I'll be blogging about Volvo Roadshow @ Highstreet, 1 Utama. I was there yesterday 9.50pm. There's 2 auto roadshow at the same time. The other being Mitsubishi Roadshow (see next post).
Interestingly, Volvo adopts 20,000 OR 1 year service intervals on ALL MODELS. Star of the show is the New S60 CKD. The T4 and T5. Both the t4 and t5 comes with World's 1st "Collision warning with FULL AUTO BRAKE and Pedestrian Detection", BLIS (Blind Spot Information System and 3 years/100000km warranty.
The T4 is a 1.6 Turbo mated with 6 speed Powershift with geartronic (Volvo's own DSG) and produces 180hp@5700rpm and 240Nm of torque from 1600-5000rpm. It boasts an impressive averaged FC of 7.4l/100km and goes from 0-100km/h in 9.0secs and tops 225km/h. The Price: RM220,000 w/o insurance earning the title "MOST EXPENSIVE 1.6 car". The BONUS: Road tax/annum only RM90.
The T5 is a 2.0 turbocharged also mated with 6 speed Powershoft with Geartronic and produces 240hp@5500rpm and 320Nm@1800-5000rpm. It goes from 0-100km/h in 7.5secs and tops 230km/h. Combined FC: 8.3l/100km.
Besides the S60, there's Volvo XC60, XC90, S40 and S80 on display. My favourite: The impressive XC90 D5 Diesel.
Powered by 5 cylinders 2.4 Turbo mated with 6 speed Auto with Geartronic and boasts combined FC of 8.5l/100km. It produces 185hp@4000rpm and a whooping 400Nm@2000-2750rpm.
Price: RM355,000 which is kinda "reasonable" for a FULL SIZE 7 seater (yup, I can fit in the 3rd row). Note that it's closest competitors: Land Rover Discovery TD6 costs RM488,000 and BMW X5 Diesel costs RM530,000. Audi Q7 3.0 Diesel: RM570,000.
Well, there's a saying a picture's worth 1000 words. Here are the photos:
This roadshow goes on till tomorrow (Sunday), feel free to check these models out. Sorry, no close up photos as there were preparing to close 10pm. Also, sorry for the Grainy photos, I was unprepared, didn't bring my camera. Taken using my old Nokia N79 instead.

Kia On Tour Test Drive 2011 Finale @ Curve
I, Jeff Lim went to "Kia On Tour Test Drive 2011 Finale @ The Curve, PJ twice. Once back in Wednesday (1st day) and the other Today 6.30pm. It's Jam Packed with people on my 2nd visit.
The centre of Attention goes to Kia Sportage. Heard from the SA the waiting list stretched to 4-and-a-half month (ie. End Feb) due to lack of AP as it's CBU from Korea.
Initially, I wanted to test drive the Kia Sorento. But 2 1/2 hours wait on a Weekday (Wednesday) turned me off. Second choice, Naza Forte 2.0 were unavailable for test drive. Only 1.6 model available for test drive which I'm not interested.
I was "forced" to logged on my facebook page to "Like" "Kia Malaysia fan page" via one of the 2 Ipads provided. In return, I was given a free Kia Pen and a Kia key chain. (see photos below).
There were 3 hot chicks there, but I have no guts to take photos with them. For each Test Drive, you stand a chance to win the "Grand Prize" of a new Naza Forte 1.6EX worth RM75,800. The winner is "Mohd Ismail" as announced at 8.15pm via Mix FM which were there reporting "Live". DJ Ryan (host), JD and Reefa were there to cover the roadshow from 6pm to 10pm(?).
Well, there's a saying a picture's worth 1000 words... Here are the photos:
