Took delivery of my XC40 yesterday (ordered 10th Jan 2024). Car that was delivered was wrong colour. Was told the previous day by my salesman that if I refused the car it would be a new order and I would have to pay the upgraded AP. Unfortunately, the salesman obviously wasn’t aware of the Consumer Rights Act 2015, so was wrong. The reason I accepted it was that I didn’t want a 4-6 month wait which the salesman told me was the current position. The handover was excellent. My salesman was on holiday and another stood in. It was one of the best handovers I have ever had. Detailed, everything explained and all questions answered clearly. I got the Fjord Blue but ordered the Cloud Blue. My opinion is the the Fjord Blue and the Green are the ugliest colours. Many disagree with me. I will be making a formal complaint to Volvo.
Haha. I ordered the Cloud Blue and now wish that I had ordered Fjord Blue. I collect my car on Tuesday.
You must be super excited. Enjoy the handover. with regards to colours, in a debate about what to order. I saw Fjord Blue in the showroom, and it looked lovely. A lot better in real life than in the configurator. Fusion Red looks nice. Crystal White and Cloud Blue are options…decisions, decisions, decisions…lol
Yes I’m a little excited now.
In my opinion having seen all the colours in the flesh I would say that these are my top 4:
Fjord Blue
Cloud Blue
Sage Green
Crystal White
To be fair there are all nice and I would be happy with either. The red isn’t bad I’ll agree but I’m not a massive red car fan unless it’s a Ferrari or Alfa!
