Includes £500 off. 2024 Volvo XC60 T8 Ultimate Dark ? Scandinavian Poise Meets Electrified Punch Volvo has always done things its own way?and the XC60 T8 Ultimate Dark is no exception. At first glance, it?s understated but purposeful, with clean Nordic lines, blacked-out detailing, and Thor?s Hammer headlights giving it an assertive presence without the shoutiness of its German rivals. Under the bonnet sits a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine paired with a punchy electric motor, delivering a combined 455hp to all four wheels via an 8-speed Geartronic auto. It?s startlingly quick for something wearing a Volvo badge?0-62mph in just 4.9 seconds?yet it glides in near silence when running on electric power alone, with a usable EV range of around 45 miles. Inside, it?s peak Scandi minimalism. There?s a cool elegance to the leather and Orrefors crystal gear selector, while the Google-powered infotainment is slick and responsive, even if it takes a moment to get used to Volvo?s touchscreen-heavy interface. In Ultimate Dark spec, it?s loaded: air suspension, panoramic roof, Bowers & Wilkins audio?it?s all here. On the road, it feels solid and composed rather than sporty. The steering is light but accurate, the ride supple on 20-inch wheels, and refinement is excellent. This isn?t a car for tearing up B-roads?it?s for covering ground effortlessly and in serene comfort. The XC60 T8 isn?t the loudest voice in the premium SUV choir?but for those after clean power, classy design, and everyday usability, it hits a near-perfect note.
