Fusion Red - can I live with it?

[BillyJay]

I have just ordered an XC60 in Fusion Red with blond interior. I must admit that the paint sample does look a bit bright. Does anyone have this colour already and still like it?

I was sorely tempted with the red but didn't think it was quite bright enough coming off a Firenze red Evoque. Ended with blonde and white. Don't see many fusion reds about. It's one thing volvo need to work on - their colour chart - it's dull.

When I first placed my order in March’18 for an XC60 I ordered it in Fusion Red with Blond interior and then I changed my mind and changed it to Denim Blue just before the lockdown date but sticking to blond interior. I have seen an XC60 in Fusion Red in flesh before I placed the order but when I saw one in Denim Blue I instantly loved it over Fusion Red and hence prompted to change my mind. I am glad that I changed the colour to Denim Blue but that is me; colour is a very subjective matter.

Also a youtube link, which is an XC60 in Fusion Red review video. I found this video useful in that you can view the car in different light conditions, which you might find useful.

I love the combo- but I'm just too conservative to go that way myself chatss60's V60 is in that same color scheme:

Thanks. I think that I will stick with it although I still have time to change

Someone living round the corner from me has an XC60 T5 in fusion red. I have to slow down every time I go past so I can get a better look at it. It really stands out and looks great!

The same can be said for pretty much all of the big German companies too...

If I had ordered XC60 it would have been Fusion Red. Instead I ordered an Audi in their equivalent.. too many grey, black, white and silver cars around!

Every now and then Volvo go a bit wacky...

Having said that most car manufacturers are very grey grey grey currently
