Geely, parent company of Volvo, has no meaning to the XC90 to say goodbye.

The first generation of the XC90 after 12 years finally relieved by a new model. Not that it really dated looking, because with facelifts Volvo has him awfully long to be relevant anymore, but the replacement came not a moment too soon, since the competition of their SUV range for the usual 7 years to replace.

It was already known that the platform of the XC90 a second life in China, to serve in a high-end SUV from Geely. Now it appears that they are simply the complete XC90 are going to build and sell. No imitation, just the original stuff. The production line will go to the Chinese province of Daqing move, where the XC90 later with a 2.5 turbo from the band, is the only motorenoptie.

The photo that Autohome has published, we see that there is almost nothing changed compared to that of the European XC90. To avoid confusion, will the SUV there go through life as the XC90 Classic. What is Geely going to ask is not yet known. Or they gave him another 12 years to dare to give up either.
