This summer, Volvo Car UK is enhancing its model lineup with sleek Black Edition variants of the fully electric EC40 crossover, EX40 SUV, and petrol XC40 SUV.
The new Black Editions
The Black Edition models are designed to make a bold statement with their all-black exterior styling. This includes Onyx Black paintwork, a black high-gloss front grille, black Volvo emblem and tailgate badging, and 20-inch five-spoke high-gloss black alloy wheels. The Black Edition package is available two equipment grades, Plus and Ultra, with prices starting from £40,720 on the road.
For the EX40 and EC40 Black Edition models, there are two powertrain options to choose from. The first powertrain is a rear-wheel-drive Single Motor Extended Range version, which delivers 252bhp. The second is an all-wheel-drive Twin Motor Performance version, which offers a substantial power increase to 442bhp (compared to 408bhp in other AWD EX40's and EC40's). These Black Edition models also feature a remapped accelerator response and a Performance drive mode, allowing drivers to fully experience and enjoy the enhanced power.
The XC40 Black Edition is available with two mild-hybrid petrol powertrains: the B3, which produces 163hp, and the B4, which delivers 197hp.
The Plus specification includes features such as a heated steering wheel and outer rear seats, front parking sensors, a powered driver’s seat with memory settings, an advanced air-purification system and Connect suede textile/microtech upholstery. The fully electric EC40 and EX40 also have an energy-efficient heat pump for the climate control system that helps maximise driving range.
At the top of the range, the Ultra versions add a 360-degree surround-view parking camera system and active bending pixel LED headlights with adaptive shadow technology. A powered passenger seat and power-folding rear headrests are also provided, together with a tilt and slide panoramic sunroof (EX40 and XC40 models). The audio system is a 600W, 12-speaker Harman Kardon set-up with Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound.
These new Black Editions are on sale now, with first UK customer deliveries expected in Q3 2024. For more information contact Brindley Volvo today.
