Is Volvo an Imported Car?
2 Answers
Volvo is an imported car, and it also produces joint-venture buses such as "Sunwin" and "Xi'an Volvo". Here is some information about Volvo: 1. Sunwin Bus: It is a Sino-Swedish joint venture, Shanghai Sunwin Bus Corporation Limited (SUNWIN), jointly invested by SAIC Motor Corporation Limited (SAIC Motor), Volvo (China) Investment Co., Ltd. (VIC), and Volvo Bus Corporation (VBC) of Sweden. 2. Xi'an Volvo Bus: It is a joint venture established on April 18, 1994, between Xi'an Aircraft Industry (Group) Company Limited, a key enterprise in China's aviation industry, and Volvo Bus Corporation of Sweden, a world-renowned bus manufacturer. 3. Industries Involved by Volvo: Volvo is a global leader in commercial transportation and construction equipment manufacturing. In addition to passenger cars, the company is also a world-renowned manufacturer of commercial vehicles, and its products also include aerospace, aviation equipment, and various machinery.
I noticed this issue is quite common when buying a Volvo. It's not entirely an imported car because after Geely Group acquired it, there are joint venture factories in China producing many models, such as the popular S60 and XC60, which are domestically made, saving on import tariffs and offering more affordable prices. However, if you want to buy a pure imported version like the XC90 or V90, which are shipped from Sweden or Belgium, you'll have to pay additional taxes, making the cost higher. I recommend checking the production label of the specific model—domestically produced versions are easier to maintain with readily available parts. Before buying, consider your budget and daily usage. The safety of domestic Volvos is just as good.
