See also What's the point of a limited-edition model when you're already a standout in your segment? That's the question we posed to ourselves as we spent some time behind the wheel of the 2024 Volvo XC60 Black Edition. The Swedish automaker has always been known for its commitment to safety and luxury, but this special edition takes things up a notch with its sleek black-on-black design.The exterior is where you'll find most of the changes, as the XC60 Black Edition gets a matte black finish that's both subtle and stylish. The grille, mirrors, and trim are all painted in this dark hue, giving the SUV a stealthy appearance that's sure to turn heads.But it's not just about looks – the Black Edition also gets some unique interior touches, like sport seats with contrasting stitching and a dash of carbon fiber trim.Under the hood, you'll find the same potent 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that powers the regular XC60, churning out 250 horsepower and plenty of torque to get up and go. Of course, as a Volvo, safety is top priority – so you can rest assured knowing your Black Edition comes equipped with all the usual suspects: adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and more.But at $55,000, is this special edition worth the extra coin? Only if you're looking to make a statement on the road, we say. Otherwise, there's always the standard XC60 – which still packs plenty of punch.SKIP
