Here is the brand new China-made 2018 Volvo XC60,
manufactured locally at Volvo’s plant in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. It will be
launched on the Chinese car market in December. Price will start around 350,000
yuan or US$ 52,700.
There will be just two versions to choose from: the
T5 with a 2.0 turbo with 254 hp and 350 Nm, and the T8 plug-in hybrid with 407
hp and 640 Nm.
The XC60 is the first China-made Volvo to get the T8
drivetrain. The S90 L is not available in T8 form and the XC90 isn’t made here
yet.
The Chinese XC60 has the same size as the European
XC60. There are no plans for a long-wheelbase version at the moment, which is
remarkable because Audi is readying an Audi Q5L and BMW is rumored to be
working on a long-wheelbase X3.
