Up to 488km range, new Sand Dune colour, and next-generation Volvo interface for MY2026
KUALA LUMPUR, 30 September 2025 – Volvo Car Malaysia today announced that bookings are now open for the 2026 model year Volvo EC40 in its new single-motor variant, priced at RM248,888¹. This new option makes the EC40 – Volvo’s first fully electric crossover SUV – RM40,000 more accessible than the twin-motor version, while still delivering premium design, technology, and safety.
Performance & Range
The EC40 Single Motor comes exclusively in the Ultra trim, powered by Volvo’s new-generation 175 kW (238 hp) permanent magnet rear electric motor. It accelerates from 0–100 km/h in 7.3 seconds and is paired with a 70 kWh high-voltage battery delivering up to 488 km² WLTP range. Fast DC charging enables a 10%–80% top-up in just 26 minutes³.

New Design Touches
For MY2026, the EC40 introduces:
- Sand Dune exterior colour – a warm metallic tone with glass flakes inspired by Sweden’s west coast dunes.
- Updated Cutting Edge interior décor accents, paired with a leather-free cabin in Charcoal Connect suede textile and Charcoal Microtech.
Next-Generation User Experience
The EC40 now features Volvo’s next-generation user interface, first introduced on the EX30. Designed for easier, more intuitive control, it reduces taps for common functions while enhancing visuals on the 9-inch Google built-in centre display and 12.3-inch driver’s display.

Safety & Technology
As with all Volvo cars, the EC40 is equipped with Safe Space Technology, including advanced collision-avoidance systems, driver assistance features, and a reinforced safety structure – delivering the highest levels of occupant and road-user protection.
Customer Rewards
To celebrate the launch, Volvo Car Malaysia is offering buyers of the EC40 Single Motor:
- 1st year free car insurance worth RM5,600
- Wallbox charger voucher worth RM5,000 (limited time)
A Broader EV Offering
Chris Tan, Sales Director of Volvo Car Malaysia, said:
“As our second fully-electric model in Malaysia and the first crossover in Volvo’s BEV line-up, the EC40 embodies the best of our new Scandinavian electric design. With both single and twin-motor variants now available, we’re giving customers more choice to match their lifestyle and ownership preferences.”
Since launch, the EC40 has distinguished itself with its commanding ride height, bold wheel arches, and sleek roofline with signature swooping taillights, combining SUV confidence with coupe-inspired sportiness.
