I fitted Chinese ones to my old style XC60 - Volvo on one side, ovlov on the other. The front fitted beautifully, the rear ones did not fit at all. Seller claimed they did until I emailed proof, and got a full refund. Seems they were for the previous facelift to my 2016 car.
Good luck if you go for non-Volvo ones, though why Volvo charge so much is beyond me.
I believe that they don't fit them as a standard because it adds 0.0001 to some ratio or another about fuel economy and pollution that would bump them into a different tax bracket.
