Is the S90 domestically produced or imported?

The S90 has both domestically produced and imported versions. The standard wheelbase version is imported, while the long wheelbase version is domestically produced. The S90 is a luxury sedan under the Volvo brand, equipped with a new-generation 2.0T turbocharged engine across the lineup, all featuring a hybrid system. It utilizes ISG to recover braking energy, effectively reducing fuel consumption and carbon emissions while providing smooth and stable acceleration, enhancing driving comfort. In terms of exterior design, the S90's front fascia follows the brand's signature quadrilateral design, adorned with slim chrome accents and a distinctive arrow-shaped chrome strip that runs through the emblem.
Speaking of the Volvo S90, the version I'm currently driving is actually produced locally here in China, manufactured by the joint venture between Volvo and Geely. The S90 models available in the Chinese market are mostly assembled at the Daqing or Chengdu factories, with many components localized, such as the engine and safety systems. This eliminates import tariffs, making the price more affordable while maintaining the same quality as the original version. In other countries like Europe or the US, the S90 might still be imported as the original version. Localization has helped Volvo sell well in China and has also boosted the competitiveness of the local automotive industry. I recommend buyers in China opt for locally manufactured cars—they're economical, cost-effective, and come with a comprehensive after-sales service network.
