Volvo Car South Africa has just 23 examples of the XC60 Black Edition units for the South African market, each showcasing a striking and sophisticated all-black design.

The Black Edition features a sleek Onyx Black exterior paint finish—a rich metallic hue that gleams brilliantly under bright sunlight and transforms into a solid, profound black in dimmer light—complemented by numerous exclusive black elements. These include a high-gloss black grille and lustrous black 21-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels.

"The XC60 is a cornerstone of the Volvo Cars portfolio, both here in South Africa and on the global stage. We are thrilled to honour this pivotal model's enduring success with these unique Black Edition derivatives. We are confident they will be quickly snapped up," says Greg Maruszewski, managing director at Volvo Car South Africa.

The grille features a blacked-out version of the iconic Swedish ‘iron mark’ logo, while the tailgate's ‘Volvo’ lettering and other badging receive a similar darkened treatment. Inside, the XC60 Black Edition is adorned with charcoal headlining, which harmonises with a choice of interior materials: either charcoal Nappa leather-and-textile upholstery or charcoal ventilated Nappa leather upholstery.
