The Black Edition treatment combines a stealthy Onyx Black exterior paint finish – a deep metallic hue with a brilliant sparkle in strong daylight and a solid darkness in reduced light – with several exclusive black details, including a high-gloss black grille and gloss-black 21-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels.
In addition, a blacked-out version of the Swedish firm’s famous “iron mark” logo adorns the grille, while the tailgate’s “Volvo” lettering and other badging likewise gain a dark finish. Inside, the XC60 Black Edition features charcoal headlining, complemented by a choice of premium interior materials: charcoal Nappa leather-and-textile upholstery or charcoal ventilated Nappa leather upholstery.
Featuring the XC60’s already extensive list of standard features, the Black Edition package is available in conjunction with a choice of two efficient yet potent powertrains: the mild-hybrid XC60 B5 AWD (offering 183 kW and 350 Nm) in Plus specification and the plug-in hybrid XC60 Recharge AWD (generating 340 kW and 709 Nm) in either Plus or Ultimate trim.
