2024 Volvo XC60 Gets Sinister Black Edition Styling Package

After introducingthe S60 Black Edition, Volvo introduced the sinister styling pack to theirXC60compact SUV.

Available exclusively on the range-topping Ultimate trim, the sensible Swede receives Onyx Black exterior paintwork, blacked-out exterior details, and gloss black Volvo logos. Adding further menace to the XC60 are the 21-inch High Gloss Black wheels with a five-double spoke design.

Aside from those updates, the XC60 remains unchanged, which is good. It's one of the best-looking compact luxury SUVs, and this stealthy package only enhances the handsome styling. Step inside, and you'll find the interior also benefits from the Black Edition treatment.

A black headliner creates a cozy environment and matches the Charcoal seat upholstery. Volvo says customers can choose between Ventilated Nappa leather or a sportier combination of Nappa leather, leatherette, and textile.

The XC60 Black Edition Exterior also receives the classy crystal gear knob from Orrefors, metal mesh aluminum trim inlays, and a 12.3-inch digital driver's display with Google built-in.

The Black Edition package brings purely aesthetic changes, so the engines remain the same. Two models can be equipped with this package; the B5 AWD and the Recharge T8. The former uses a mild-hybrid 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, producing 247 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.

Should you require more power from your Swedish steed, the plug-in hybrid Recharge T8 pairs an electric motor with the 2.0-liter motor for a combined output of 455 horsepower. It's quick, with 0 to 60 mph dispatched in just 4.5 seconds. Despite this impressive performance, the Recharge T8 is relatively frugal and can achieve 63MPGe on the combined cycle. An all-electric range of 35 miles comes in handy.
