The Volvo XC60 Estate 2.0 T6 [350] PHEV Plus Black Edition is one of those cars that sneaks up on you, not with flamboyance or drama, but with a kind of Scandinavian shrug that says: ?Relax, I?ve got this.? Slide behind the wheel and you?re greeted by a cabin that?s less cockpit, more lounge. Clean lines, subtle stitching, and that faintly smug sense of sustainability ? it?s all very Volvo, all very considered. Under the bonnet, the 2.0-litre petrol engine and electric motor combine for a healthy 350 horses, which is plenty to hustle this all-wheel-drive estate along a damp B-road with a surprising turn of pace. It?s not shouty about it ? no roaring exhausts or aggressive pops ? but there?s a muscular undercurrent. The Geartronic ?box does its job with the sort of effortlessness that lets you focus on the business of enjoying the drive rather than fiddling with paddles. But the XC60 isn?t really about driving hard. It?s about arriving unruffled. It wafts over tarmac, shrugs off potholes, and cocoons you in that legendary Volvo safety net. The PHEV system means you can do the school run in hushed, electric serenity, yet still manage long hauls without range anxiety. The Black Edition styling adds a stealthy edge: gloss black detailing, sharp alloys, and a stance that whispers sophistication rather than shouts. It?s handsome without trying too hard ? which, frankly, sums up the entire car. A polished, grown-up choice in a world still obsessed with noisy show-offs.
