Has the Volvo V90 been domestically produced?

Volvo V90 is not domestically produced. This model is introduced to the domestic market through imports. The V90 imported to China is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, which delivers a maximum power of 254 horsepower and a peak torque of 350 Nm. The engine reaches its maximum power at 5,500 rpm and its peak torque between 1,500 and 4,800 rpm. The Volvo V90 is a mid-to-large-sized station wagon with dimensions of 4,959 mm in length, 1,879 mm in width, and 1,543 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2,941 mm. It features a front-engine, all-wheel-drive layout, with a front suspension type of double-wishbone independent suspension and a rear suspension type of multi-link integral rear axle.

Yes, the Volvo V90 is currently not produced domestically in China and is mainly imported. I remember checking relevant information - as a station wagon, it faces much lower demand than SUVs in the Chinese market, which explains why Volvo hasn't localized its production. Their Chinese factories are all manufacturing popular XC series or S90 sedans instead. This import approach results in higher prices, but if domestic production begins in the future, it would definitely become more affordable. I've personally seen the actual vehicle at auto shows - the space and design are truly excellent, making it suitable for family trips or long-distance travel. However, station wagons aren't particularly popular in the Chinese market, so the manufacturer's arrangement seems quite reasonable. If domestic production ever happens, I believe many young consumers like myself would consider purchasing it, especially since import taxes currently add 20-30% to the cost.

As someone who frequently follows the automotive industry, I can confirm that the Volvo V90 has indeed not been localized for production in China. It is currently primarily manufactured in Sweden and then shipped to China. Volvo's factories in Chengdu and Daqing mainly produce best-selling models like the XC90 and S90. The reason lies in the fact that domestic consumers tend to prefer SUVs and sedans, while the demand for station wagons like the V90 is relatively low, making domestic production unprofitable. Although importing directly results in higher prices, it ensures better quality, and service centers are widely available across the country. I personally test-drove the imported version and found its handling smooth and its safety features top-notch—nothing lost in translation. In the long run, if station wagons gain popularity, Volvo might consider a localized production strategy.

The Volvo V90 is not domestically produced; it's still an imported model. I heard it's manufactured in Sweden and then shipped over, with no production line in China. Volvo produces other vehicles in its domestic factories, such as the XC60 and other SUVs. The V90 is comfortable to drive as a station wagon, with a spacious interior, making it great for family outings or shopping—I love these practical models. Unfortunately, the lack of domestic production makes it slightly more expensive, which might make average families hesitate to buy. But the brand is reliable and won't compromise quality by hastily localizing production. If demand increases in the future, they might start local production to lower the price.

Speaking of the Volvo V90, it brings back decades of car-watching memories—it has always been imported, never domestically produced. Compared to older models, the V90 boasts a modern design while maintaining its production process in Europe. Chinese factories manufacture models like the S60, but station wagons aren’t prioritized due to their smaller market. Importing ensures the engine and chassis remain authentic, justifying the higher price—I drove an older version in my youth and felt imported cars last longer. Domestic production might cut costs but sacrifice details, so its current status seems reasonable. I’d suggest considering alternative models.
