Is the xc60 a domestically produced model?

xc60 is a domestically produced model, which is a mid-size SUV under Volvo Cars. Taking the 2021 Zhi Xing Luxury Edition xc60 as an example, its body length, width, and height are: 4688mm, 1902mm, and 1658mm, respectively, with a wheelbase of 2865mm and a trunk capacity of 483l. The 2021 Zhi Xing Luxury Edition xc60 features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0t turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 190ps, a maximum power of 140kw, and a maximum torque of 300nm.
I've been paying close attention to the localization of automobiles recently, and indeed the XC60 is a domestically produced model in China. After Volvo was acquired by Geely, production of the XC60 was moved to Chinese factories, such as the production lines in Chengdu and Daqing. This is quite meaningful to me because localized models usually come with more affordable prices, free from import tariffs, and offer more convenient maintenance. I've seen many car owners in community forums giving feedback that the quality control of the domestically produced XC60 is very strict, with little difference from the imported version. At the same time, this has also promoted local employment and the development of the parts supply chain. However, it's important to note that the XC60 in other markets might still be imported, so it's best to confirm the production batch before purchasing.
