Price will start around 350,000 yuan or $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.

The white car on the photos is the top-spec T8, with aluminium detailing on dash and doors, and the…

…. ultra clean center tunnel.

The characters on the left side (below XC60) read ‘Volvo Asia’, all new China-made Volvo’s have this badge.
