Volvo S60 Black Edition: exclusivity and sportiness for the new special edition of the Swedish saloon

Almost four years on sale, the Volvo S60 remains a very worthy option if you are looking for a saloon with generous interior space, technology, safety, a high level of ride comfort and a truly elegant design.

Now, with the aim of boosting its sales in the American market, the Swedish firm has just unveiled its new Volvo S60 Black Edition. A family we already know from other models of the brand such as the XC60, the V60 or even the V40, which now welcomes the brand’s most popular saloon as its newest member.

Starting with design, the new S60 Black Edition will be available in two different colours: Onyx Black Metallic or Crystal White Metallic. Two very elegant combinations with which customers can choose between white with black details or the full-black look.

A strong presence

Looking at the front, the new grille in high-gloss black accompanies the stylish Volvo light clusters, giving it a very sporty look while still maintaining that touch of restraint that characterises the Swedish brand.

From the side profile, the main protagonists are its new 19-inch wheels in black, emphasising its dynamic character. Also contributing greatly are its two black exhaust outlets and the model name badges, also in black.

As for the interior, Volvo has not released any images, but it is most likely to feature upholstery covered in black leather and some identification plaques with the special edition name.

Engine range

As for mechanicals, let us recall that the Volvo V60 offers two mild-hybrid petrol engines producing 197 and 250 CV, and the plug-in hybrid version which develops a full 455 CV and goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds.

The starting price will be a little under $40,000, rising if you opt for better-equipped and more powerful variants.
