It really comes down to when the 2019 would arrive.

I am certainly not the official authority on this but Volvo is currently in the process of moving XC60 production from Sweden to China & will produce other models in Sweden. As such, my understanding is that the Overseas Delivery Program has been stopped, at least as far as the XC60 is concerned. Check with your dealer when you re ready to order.

You are correct, XC60's are now produced in China along with one of the sedans. The XC40 and XC90 are available for oversees delivery. I have spoken with the oversees folks as I was planning doing the oversees delivery for a 2019 XC60, now I am not.
