It’s made from scratch in a factory in China owned by Geely but operated by Volvo. They also make the XC40 there (as well as in Belgium). By your definition the Polestar 2 shouldn’t be on this site.

A reason for having the polestar on here is that it will share similar issues to the XC40 -given the electric versions are very, very similar

Perhaps the precedent is the 300/66 section which were arguably not really Volvos
