Volvo has announced its Black November specials for South Africa, giving customers who purchase a new XC40, XC60, or XC90 SUV through Volvo Car Finance during November or December up to six months of instalments absolutely free.
“Rather than limiting these new finance deals to Black Friday, the Swedish luxury automaker has opted to extend its promotions across the months of November and December, allowing local buyers ample opportunity to take advantage of these savings,” said Greg Maruszewski, Managing Director at Volvo Car South Africa.
As such, customers who purchase a new XC40 through Volvo Car Finance before the end of 2023 will receive their first four months of instalments free, while those who buy a new XC60 or XC90 will gain six months of free instalments.
The deal is applicable to all models in the three separate SUV families – including the fully-electric Recharge variants – however, the company notes that the offer may vary depending on final vehicle extras and accessories chosen.
What’s available
The XC40 is available in a total of seven variations, with prices ranging from R699,000 to R1,298,000.
There are two mild-hybrid petrol engines to choose from split across three specification levels, as well as two electric drivelines with almost identical equipment.
The petrol models both use a 2.0-litre, turbo-petrol motor with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, in conjunction with an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
In the entry-level XC40 B3, the setup generates 110kW and 265Nm at a combined fuel usage of 7.1l/100km, and in the pricier B4, it puts out 145kW and 300Nm at 7.3l/100km.
The electric derivates can then be had in a single-motor or dual-motor configuration, the former producing 175kW and 330Nm and the latter 330kW and 660Nm. Driving range for these crossovers is pegged at 460km and 500km, respectively.
Buyers of the mid-range XC60 also have seven options to choose from, priced between R987,000 and R1,390,000.
The SUV is offered with two foundations, the mild-hybrid B5 that uses virtually the same drivetrain as the XC40, and the plug-in hybrid T8 that adds a larger battery and more powerful electric motor into the mix.
As such, the XC60 B5 produces 183kW and 350Nm for an average fuel spend of 7.6l/100km, whereas the T8 generates a heady 340kW and 709Nm while boasting a low petrol usage of 1.6l/100km – if primarily driven on battery power.
Like its stablemates, the flagship XC90 is sold in seven derivatives starting at a higher R1,352,000 and topping out at R1,808,000.
It, too, uses the mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid 2.0-litre architecture with identical outputs to the XC60, but at a higher fuel economy of 8.0l/100km and 1.8l/100km, respectively.
The XC90 is also the only Volvo SUV that is available with seven seats.
