Its odd that car companies make a big play about naming a new car edition after the color “Black”, you never see the new Ford “White” edition, we would like to see a “Star Spangled” edition, however “Black” is the most dangerous looking color to opt for. Perhaps its inbred into our racial stereotypes and prejudices, something that we are not prepared to confront. Nevertheless Skoda has released a new special edition that paints its range in one color, the Black Edition extends throughout Skoda’s model range from the Citigo to the Superb. The Black Edition range is based on the mid-level SE trim which amounts to around £1,200 – £3,200 worth of extras depending on which model you go for. Features include  black alloy wheels, additional black exterior styling details, privacy glass, SAT-NAV, DAB digital radio, full leather upholstery, cruise control, floor mats and metallic/pearl effect paint. The black edition range will continue its familiar engine line-up, the Octavia for example will feature the  2.0-litre TDI CR 140PS manual/DSG or 2.0-litre TDI CR 170PS manual/DSG powertrains.
