I mean, my Volvo XC60 was made in Chengdou, China, and it's the most well made car I have ever owned(especially compared to my last Mercedes Benz which was actually assembled in Germany yet had the build quality of a wooden horse carriage)
- tommiegannert 4y agoIn mid-2020, I was interested in an S90 here in Switzerland, and I was told it's _only_ manufactured in China, so with CoVID going on, delivery would be 9-12 months. (Instead bought a Mercedes and had it delivered in 3-4 months.) I understand why some long wheelbase versions are Chinese-only, but I found it odd that Volvo's entire flagship sedan series is all-China.
- gambiting 4y agoYeah mine is the T8 and apparently all plug-in hybrids for the right hand drive market are assembled in China. The order to delivery time was 9 months(ordered in 2019 June, delivered in March 2020).

I think the reason is that the S90 isn't high volume enough to warrant more than one factory, and China is a substantial enough market for them that it makes sense to build them there vs US/Europe.
- tpmx 4y agoYour car was designed at a component level in Gothenburg, Sweden. Components were designed and built around the world. It has then been assembled in Chengdou, China. This has been a goal of the Geely/PRC ownership. It's a bit like with the iPhone being designed in California; made in China.
- gambiting 4y agoWell yes - my point is just to say that cars made in China can be very high quality(even though it's not strictly "Chinese car"(although Volvo is owned by Geely so......)
