What's the Difference in Quality Between Volvo Asia Pacific and Imported Models?

[SanLila]

There is little difference between Volvo Asia Pacific and imported models, with 90% being the same. The main distinction lies in the production and assembly locations, as both use raw materials from global factories. Below are the specific details: 1. Region: "Volvo Asia Pacific" represents Volvo models that have been localized for production, primarily exported to the Asia-Pacific region; whereas imported Volvo models are manufactured abroad, mainly targeting the European and American markets. For example, the Volvo XC90 needs to be sold in China as an imported model. 2. Model Differentiation: Given that some of Volvo's high-end and non-volume models in China (such as the XC90, V90, and V60) are still sold as fully imported vehicles, Volvo must distinguish its domestically produced models with a separate name. On the other hand, some models produced at Volvo's China factory are also responsible for exports to the entire Asia-Pacific region, hence the name "Volvo Asia Pacific," which essentially means "Volvo China."
