Of course it doesn't make the Volov towbar cheap, especially not the retractable one.
But it may help to appreciate the price. Installation of hard - and software in our car was included.
Good point. With aftermarket towbars fitted by independents, the car would need a trip to the Volvo dealer to install software and/or switch on the towing mode features. This would inevitably be at extra cost, which should be added to the cost 'saving' of having non-genuine hardware and fitting in the first place.
