So, what can you expect from the Black Edition models? Well, for starters, each variant boasts “eye-catching” exterior and interior design elements. Each derivative’s bodywork is finished in “stealthy” Onyx Black paint. At the same time, the front grille, replete with blacked-out Volvo emblem, is finished in high-gloss black. The “Volvo” lettering sited on the tailgate is also finished in black. The high-gloss black hue of the front grille has been carried over to the limited edition’s 21-inch, five-spoke alloy wheels.
Stepping inside, the limited-edition models gain a charcoal-coloured headlining. A choice of interior upholstery is available. The latter includes charcoal Nappa leather-and-textile trim or ventilated Nappa leather upholstery in the same hue.
As a reminder, the B5 derivatives 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbopetrol engine produces 183 kW and 350 N.m of torque, sent to all four corners via an eight-speed automatic transmission. The plug-in hybrid, Recharge derivatives are endowed with 340 kW and 709 N.m.
