Car Deal of the Day: Volvo XC60 Black Edition offers mean looks for mighty value

Plenty of eyes are on the brand-new all-electric Volvo EX60 at the moment, but the svelte XC60 is still hoovering up sales – and it’s easy to see why with deals like this one.

Through the Auto Express Buy A Car service , AA Lease is offering the posh Swedish SUV for a super-low £417.25 a month – the cheapest we've ever seen. Moreover, it’s for the mean-looking Plus Black Edition, which has class and attitude in spades.

To get this three-year deal up and running, a 12-month initial payment is needed, which comes to £5,007. That’s a not unreasonable sum of money for a premium high-rider like the XC60, but you can tweak the terms if you’d rather pay less up front.

Switching to a nine-month initial payment comes in at nearly £1,000 less, with the monthly price only rising to £447.89. Mileage, meanwhile, is set at a default 5,000, but most would rather have the flexibility of 8,000, and that can be sorted for under £30 extra a month.

As the name implies, the Plus Black Edition has lashings of black trim – there’s no exterior chrome whatsoever. This deal gets you metallic Onyx Black paintwork, along with black-painted 21-inch alloys.

The spec list also includes an excellent Harman Kardon sound system, ambient lighting, a heated steering wheel and windscreen and a large 12.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in.

Under the bonnet is one of Volvo’s super-smooth 2.0-litre mild-hybrid four-cylinder petrol engines. With 247bhp and 350Nm of torque it’s a punchy engine, but also refined and frugal – Volvo claims just under 40mpg.
