Design and Features of the Volvo EX40 Black Edition
Yes, the Black Edition is a specialized styling package available for the newest model year. This distinct aesthetic upgrade applies to both the Single Motor and Twin Motor powertrains. Review the exclusive design elements below and check our current local availability.
Exterior Styling and Local Utility
The Black Edition transforms the visual identity of the vehicle by replacing all traditional chrome accents with a stealthy, monochromatic design. The exterior is finished exclusively in high-gloss Onyx Black metallic paint. This dark profile is matched with a color-coordinated front grille shield, high-gloss black roof rails, and darkened side window trim. The iconic Volvo Iron Mark on the grille and the rear tailgate lettering are also finished entirely in high-gloss black.
This bold aesthetic commands attention whether you are driving down the historic, moss-draped streets near Forsyth Park or taking a weekend trip out to Tybee Island. The standard integrated roof rails maintain full utility, allowing you to easily mount accessories for transporting bicycles or extra cargo.

Exclusive Wheels and Stance
The vehicle rides on distinct 20-inch 5-spoke high-gloss black alloy wheels. These larger wheels give the SUV a planted, athletic stance on the road. From a practical standpoint, the wider tire footprint improves handling and provides exceptional grip on slick coastal pavement during sudden summer rainstorms.
