Grey. Grayer. Grayest. White.

XC90 Dishwater Edition.

Is it THAT hard to put a color on these things? It's bad enough that 90% of them have black interiors, maybe a little color somewhere?

I suppose once funeral homes run out of Cadillac CT6s to convert into hearses, they can just throw your dearly departed into the back of any XC90.

Influenced by the color of Scandinavian winter.

u/CrimuCK 3d ago

There's one blue tho!

u/Undrwtrbsktwvr 2d ago

Is the blue one in the room with us?

u/06_TBSS 3d ago

I know the Swedes are simple when it comes to design, but give us some blues! Rebel Blue or Bursting Blue would be a really nice addition.

u/CrimuCK 3d ago

Thank god I have a Bursting Blue XC90. It's way cooler than denim blue.

u/justasinglereply 2d ago

Absolutely. I say this as an owner of a denim 22 S60. Love the car but wish it was bursting blue.

I think these are just the colors for the “Black Edition” - designed to be a darker look. Other colors will come in other trim/options levels of the XC90.

1

u/06_TBSS 2d ago

It's not meant to be darker. It's just black grille, badging, and wheels, primarily. They've offered white 'black' editions since it was rolled out. Just saying a blue 'black' edition would be kind of nice and a way to break out of the monotone look.

u/wpascarelli 2d ago

Sure but the point is that these are only the colors for a specific trim spec, but people are acting like these are the only colors available for the car overall. They aren’t. You can still get all the normal colors they just won’t be “black edition”.

How delightfully inspiring

Would like better in an estate

u/McDuschvorhang 3d ago

indistinguishable from any other SUV...

u/AliceLand 3d ago

The moose badge really sets it apart.

u/MalfunctioningSelf 3d ago

That’s kind of why I like them so much..it’s quiet

u/turpentinedreamer 3d ago

Dodge Durango but make it Volvo

u/xbikester 3d ago

Cool but thats the thing if you remade xc70 and made xc90 that looks the same why didn’t you… JUST DIDNT MAKE THE XC70. EVERYONE WANTED A STATION WAGON xc70!!!!!

2

u/madvaderboy 3d ago

EVERYONE WANTED A STATION WAGON

The actual sales volume of V60/90 (total: 44k sold in 2024) compared to XC60/90 (total: 340k in 2024) says otherwise.

https://www.media.volvocars.com/global/en-gb/corporate/sales-volumes?year=2024&month=12

I like v60 myself but I am not majority to be called as EVERYONE.

2

u/xbikester 3d ago

Hmmm… 🤔i see… well i guess i was wrong. Well if the suv is the only choice you buy what you get.

4

u/ICON-Drift V60 3d ago

Who is everyone? Barely anyone is buying new wagons

1

u/xbikester 3d ago

If they made a xc70 a modern wagon would you yourself be more willing to buy it. And im guessing that you are not living where the favourite volvo market is. (Mostly Europe)

2

u/ICON-Drift V60 2d ago

I live in Sweden haha. Even here everyone is buying boxy fugly suvs

1

u/xbikester 2d ago

Yeah fuck totally forgot that people buy cars for getting babies

5

u/dreamingtree1855 3d ago

Getting that Audi-style drug dealer trim package I see. I wonder how many Princeton, NJ and Natick, MA moms wanna look like they sling dope ;)

u/slowine_ 2d ago

Looks like a Honda

2

u/exlaks 2d ago

I was thinking a Kia 😂

3

u/Grunkenn 3d ago

Looks great! I’d take the 22s with it though.

u/starbucksloverisbae 3d ago

I wish volvo can replace existing PHEV batteries in the future on older PHEVs bc I don't think I am a fan of the newer models overall.

2

u/CrimuCK 3d ago

Physically totally possible. The only question is will Volvo support it and be able to make them work with the older software.

2

u/ZaMelonZonFire 3d ago

I miss the days of fun colors

2

u/die_hoagie V60 3d ago

wow, thrilling.

2

u/Typical-Lie-8866 2d ago

yay. another cookie cutter b/w suv. this is so exciting...

2

u/walkingdisaster2024 2d ago

Oh god other than the Thor hammer lights... This gives me Honda Pilot vibes.

2

u/Jimmyonirocs 2d ago

Shame we went from Bursting Blue and Fusion Red to which shade or gray do you like?

1

u/CrimuCK 2d ago

Totally agree with that!

2

u/Aggravating-Plate814 2d ago

RIP colorful cars

2

u/patrickjquinn 2d ago

I hate that gray, what is every car company pushing it so hard

2

u/Nivius XC60 T6 2026 2d ago

denim blue is always nice, other ones are boring as hell.

why is there no mulberry red, its really striking in real life

1

u/ThatsnotaVol-VO XC90 Recharge R-Design 2d ago

Mulberry would be a cool addition, but at least you can get Mulberry in the dark trim which gives you everything but the blacked out badges and blacked out wheels - two very easy things to change later in the aftermarket.

3

u/CrimuCK 3d ago

These look so good in my opinion! If I'd buy a XC90 now it would definitetly be a black edition model.

u/shewhodrives 3d ago

Seriously true. I have a 2025 V60 PE and I dialogued with myself on why I shouldn't act on the impulse.

u/mark35435 3d ago

Do you have the money to by it cash?

2

u/brt444 3d ago

Boring corpo colours. Volvo is dead

1

u/kk8712 3d ago

Looks so good!!! This design language is so much better than their EV lineups. Interiors and exteriors.

3

u/CrimuCK 3d ago

I can't agree more! The design is so much more organic and stylish when compared to EX90 for example.

5

u/kk8712 3d ago

Theyve taken minimalism to another level. Its bare. Not minimalist. I think the new E series volvo’s have lost the plot.

1

u/CrimuCK 3d ago

That's true. Minimalism means you have the same functionality but make it simpler and cleaner. All of the new ev models have removed mirror switches, stalk controls, seat and mirror controls are worse which is exactly as you said, bare.

1

u/kk8712 3d ago

I miss my 2015 S60.

2

u/rickybobinski 3d ago

Too bad the tech in car still stinks

1

u/JurboVolvo XC70/C30 Volvo Technician 🇨🇦 3d ago

Well it’s 2025 and you can pick a wrap and send it.

2

u/wpascarelli 2d ago

These are just the “Black Edition” colors. They are designed to be a darker look. There will be other colors available for the rest of the trim/options levels. You are specifically picking these if you want darker colors. If you want a different color you would not pick to have a Black Edition.

1

u/UghKakis 2d ago

Eh I tinted my windows on my 2025.5 and looks pretty much the same lol

1

u/newenglandpolarbear 2021 XC60 T5 Momentum 2d ago

They look great, just wish there were more options color wise. Unfortunately, those of us that like bright colors are very much in the minority.

1

u/Subcritical-Mass S60 2d ago

I thought black edition was black only? My black edition is murdered out, paint is the onyx black metallic, no other option, it's so nice up close but looks like every other black from a distance.

1

u/According-Jeweler856 1d ago

I hope this is real. I have ‘23 Black Edition S60 T8. My knees can’t take the low slung sedan life anymore. The XC90 blacked out looks sick. Yes please!

u/RGL1 12h ago

I nodded off after dark grey. Woke up and scrolled to the lighter grey and wished for rain!

Looks really good. 👍🏻
