Volvo Car South Africa has announced the arrival of a limited release of the new XC60 Black Edition, with the unique version of the popular midsize SUV characterised by an all-black design. A total of 23 units will be available in the country.
The XC60 Black Edition features an Onyx Black exterior paint, a deep metallic finish that sparkles in bright light and appears solidly dark in lower light conditions. The vehicle is distinguished by several exclusive black details, including a high-gloss black grille and gloss-black 21-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels. The Volvo emblem on the grille and the “Volvo” lettering on the tailgate also sport a dark finish, enhancing the sleek aesthetic.
