Please let me know if you are aware if it has been offered in other countries.

The models are theoretically everywhere the same. But in the end the released versions for each country differ in some details. The most noticeable is clearly the various packaging versions and of course the folder coming with each model. But there is more. You can detect many tiny differences when checking in deep the various details and overall finish.

Differences between the models released in Bulgaria and Greece :

Just have a look at the following three photos to see some obvious differences between the Volvo 14 released in Bulgaria and the one released in Greece :
On the sides :
  • packaging
  • rims
  • rear-view mirrors
  • bumpers
On the front :
  • rear-view mirrors
  • radiator grill

On the rear :
  • label showing the model type
  • rear lights ( different colors )
  • glazing ( big difference in quality )
