Orange Cars You Didn't Know Came Orange

Orange you glad that automakers still offer fun colors on their vehicles, even if it seems to be few and far between?

The days of pastel two-tone paint schemes may be ancient history and far too many cars today are a shade rather than a vibrant color. But some vehicles still have bright, vivd hues available. And it’s not just sports cars or vehicles targeted to youthful buyers. A few more unsuspecting automobiles sneak out of the factory with refreshingly bold paint choice, like these following orange cars that you may not have known are available that way. Maybe they are not your cup of orange pekoe tea, but let’s just be happy there is still choice when it comes exterior paint.

It might be hard to believe, but the big, uber-luxurious Land Rover Range Rover can be had in orange if one is willing to pay for the custom paint up-charge. Called Sanguinello Orange, it costs an extra $4,550 to apply to the big SUV which really isn’t that much money considering the Range Rover costs over $100,000. Will many customers purchase this color? Probably not, but anyone who does gets extra kudos from us.

If the Range Rover is the most shocking vehicle to be offered in orange, then Buick has to be the most shocking manufacturer. On a long quest to gain a more youthful customer base, maybe it shouldn’t shock us so much that the premium compact Encore GX crossover can be finished in such a shade. Technically it is called Burnished Bronze Metallic, but it sure looks orange to our eyes. This paint option only costs $495 and makes you look 10 years younger.

This entry may be as much of a ‘cars you may not have known are still in production’ as it is about it being available in orange. But the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is still on sale and the brand keeps improving on this little crossover. To emphasize its bold styling, the Outlander Sport can be had in Sunshine Orange for the price of $395. Select this paint to really brighten up your day.

For whatever reason, orange is a hot color on pickup trucks right now. There are at least four pickups that can be painted that hue, and size doesn’t seem to matter. The full-size Ram 1500 can be finished in Spitfire orange while the mid-size Chevrolet Colorado had be adorned in a color simply called Crush. Ford has a pair of pickup trucks that can be optioned with orange paint; the Ranger and the Maverick. The Cyber Orange paint looks more yellow-gold than outright orange to our eyes though.

With the Buick Encore GX on the list, it makes sense that Lexus also offers orange on the brand’s compact crossovers, the UX and NX. Lexus is just as steadfast as Buick to lose the brand’s stodgy image, and bright, fun colors is one way to do this. Cadmium Orange is name of the color and is one of the deeper, richer hues on the market. It really does fit-in with the styling of the little Lexus siblings.
