The Volvo XC60 is upping the style by including a new Black Edition model in its family-friendly SUV range.<\/p>\n
As the name suggests, the XC60 Black Edition is only available in Onyx Black, with the ink-like paint complimented by a gloss black grille and black Volvo lettering, badges and signature ironmark logo. The 21-inch alloy wheels are also, you guessed it, gloss black.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Buyers do at least get a choice of interior colour schemes, though it\u2019s limited to either a charcoal Nappa leather\/textile combination, or perforated and ventilated charcoal full Nappa leather upholstery. The XC60 Black Edition also comes with a charcoal headlining, regardless of which seat fabric you pick.<\/p>\n

Black Edition isn\u2019t a standalone specification for the XC60, however. Instead it\u2019s paired with the two highest trim levels: Plus and Ultimate. That means, in addition to the 9-inch touchscreen and twelve-inch digital driver\u2019s display you get in every XC90, Plus-spec models come with keyless entry and start, a hands free powered tailgate, heated steering wheel, adjustable ambient lighting and an air-purification system. Front and rear parking sensors and a surround-view parking camera are also standard-fit.<\/p>\n
Range-topping XC60 Ultimate Black Edition cars add extra goodies like air suspension with adaptive dampers, a head-up display, panoramic sunroof, a powered front passenger seat and a 1,100W Bowers & Wilkins sound system, among other luxuries.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Unlike Mercedes\u2019 AMG Black Series models, the XC60 Black Edition doesn\u2019t get any extra power or special drivetrains – although every XC60 does feature all-wheel drive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Base versions are equipped with the B5 mild-hybrid petrol engine that produces 247bhp and can average 35.3mpg. Alternatively, the 345bhp T6 and the 449bhp T8 plug-in hybrid models can cover 47 miles on pure-electric power alone.<\/p>\n
Order books for the XC60 Black Edition are open, with deliveries slated to begin in early 2024. Prices currently start from \u00a352,285, or \u00a360,055 if you want a plug-in hybrid model, however from the 27 November onwards prices for the range will increase by up to \u00a31,750.\u00a0<\/p>\n
