Why update a mild hybrid model for 2023?

According to Charles Frump, Managing Director of VCM, "As we advocate for a more sustainable way of living, we also understand that people may need to familiarise themselves with the concept of electrification."

"This is what led us to introducing an updated version of our XC40 Mild Hybrid variant, as a suitable stepping stone for drivers who are looking to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle," added Frump.

For the price of RM268,888 (OTR without insurance), customers can still spec it out with the existing colour options - Black Stone, Crystal White, Silver Dawn, and Thunder Grey. All units that are registered by 31 December 2022 will also receive VCM's five years' free service (VSA 5).
