Volvo XC90 T8 Ultra Dark

The 2025 Volvo XC90 T8 Ultra Dark sits at the top of the XC90 range, combining a 2.0-litre petrol engine with an electric motor for a combined 449 bhp and permanent four-wheel drive. With 13,945 miles from a single owner, this is essentially a barely-used example of Volvo's flagship seven-seater. The Ultra Dark specification adds a blacked-out exterior treatment, while the Mulberry Red paint option gives it a more distinctive presence than the typical monochrome Ultra Dark build.

The interior spec is well-appointed: Nappa perforated and ventilated leather in Cardamom, Nubuck headlining, and a heated steering wheel. Wired Apple CarPlay handles connectivity, and a retractable towbar — rated to 2,400 kg — covers the practical bases. The 18.8 kWh battery pack is one of the larger PHEV units in the segment, making meaningful electric-only commuting viable.

Despite its SUV proportions, the T8 covers 0–60 in 5.1 seconds, though a 112 mph top speed confirms this is built for composed progress rather than outright performance. The Euro 6 CO2 figure of 33 g/km reflects the benefit-in-kind advantage that makes T8 XC90s a popular choice for company car users.
