2 Answers
Volvo XC60 domestically produced and imported differences are: 1. Appearance: The domestically produced version features 10-spoke and dual 6-spoke wheel designs that differ from the imported version, with the addition of a 'Volvo Asia Pacific' badge on the rear. 2. Interior: Maintains a high degree of consistency with the imported model. The most significant change compared to the imported version lies in the powertrain, with the domestically produced XC60 adding a 2.0T low-power engine. 3. Powertrain: The Volvo XC60 T4 is equipped with a 2.0T low-power engine, while the T5 features a 2.0T high-power version, delivering a maximum power of 187kW (254PS)/5500rpm and a maximum torque of 350N·m/1500-4800rpm. 4. Transmission system: All models are equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
Recently, while helping a friend choose a car, I researched the XC60. The domestic version is produced at the Chengdu factory, and the price is much more affordable than the imported version. With the same configuration, you can save about 50,000 yuan, thanks to the exemption from import tariffs. The most noticeable difference is that the rear seats in the domestic version have been thickened by 2 centimeters specifically for Chinese users, making them softer and more comfortable. Additionally, a PM2.5 filtration system has been added. The imported version features a chassis tuned by the original Swedish factory, but when driving on rough roads, the domestic version's shock absorption feels softer. In terms of details, the imported version does have slightly more uniform seams, but now the domestic version uses fully automated welding lines, making the assembly quality gap almost negligible. Moreover, with local parts warehouses for the domestic version, replacing a rearview mirror can be done on the same day, which is much more convenient than the imported version.
