“Legacy Continues” says the backdrop, and continue she will. Production of the XC Classic is scheduled to run four years with a facelift after two years. Lone engine is the T5 2.5 liter inline five-cylinder turbocharged petrol, mated to a 5-speed automatic sending power to all four wheels. Earlier on we heard the engine was tuned up to 220hp but the official announcement says the engine delivers just 210 horses.

Characters read 沃尔沃亚太, meaning ‘Volvo Asia Pacific’. This badge sits on all China-made Volvo’s and the name itself indicates Geely has serious plans for export.
