Here's Every Single Car You Can Still Buy In Yellow In 2023
It may seem like cars don't come in fun colors anymore, but plenty are still available in the best color
Year in and year out, some combination of black, white, silver and gray are the top four car color choices in America, and that's a shame. Having such boring color options can make you forget that some manufacturers offer really sick hues. And to me, the sickest color of all is yellow. Nothing makes a regular car a little zestier than a yellow paint job.
I was reminded of this fact as I drove a Flare Yellow Lexus RC F around southern California a few weeks ago. To me, the whole car was elevated by the very pretty paint. Every time I'd walk up to it, I felt a sense of occasion. A gravitas.
It got me thinking: just how many yellow cars are left? Well, as it turns out, there are still tons — it's just on us to start buying them. Oh, and as it turns out, yellow cars also depreciate the least! Call that a good investment.
As you go through this list, you're probably going to notice that I've left off some automakers like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Porsche, McLaren and Lotus. They all make yellow cars. We already knew that. That's not the point of this list. I'm here to show you that there are plenty of regular-ish cars you can still get in yellow. And let's be honest: you're not buying a McLaren, anyway.
Acura: Tiger Eye Pearl ($600)
-
TLX Type-S
-
MDX Type-S
Stick out from every other Acura with Tiger Eye Pearl! It may seem a little bit loud at first, but trust me, this is the way to get a Type-S. Everyone will like you more, and your spouse won't leave you this time.
Alfa Romeo: Ocra GT Tri-Coat ($2,500)
-
Guilia
-
Guilia Quadrifoglio
-
Stelvio Quadrifoglio
The Italians never miss a chance to be dramatic, but I do not understand why this color isn't offered on the standard Stelvio.
Audi: Python Yellow Metallic ($595)
-
S3
-
R8 (Vegas Yellow)
Python Yellow is such a pretty color, and Audi should feel shame that it does not offer it on more of its vehicles. Audis are the perfect candidate for loud paint colors, because overall their stying is extremely subdued.
At least the R8 also comes in Yellow, but does that really count?
BMW: Sao Paulo Yellow ($0)
-
M3
-
M4
-
X3 M
-
X4 M
Don't buy an X3 M in any color. You will regret it every day until the day you die, and your wife will leave you again.
Cadillac: Cyber Yellow Metallic ($625)
-
CT4-V Blackwing
-
CT5-V Blackwing
Best cars on sale today come in the best color on sale today. Buy one, please. That's how we get Cadillac to keep making them.
Chevrolet: Nitro Yellow Metallic ($395)
-
Trax
-
Trailblazer
-
Blazer
-
Corvette
If you had told me Chevy would be in a tie for first for the most cars with yellow paint options, I would not have believed you. I am also shocked to learn that the color is offered primarily on the automaker's crossovers and not, you know, the Camaro.
Ford: Yellow Splash Metallic ($0)
-
Mustang
-
Bronco Heritage Limited (Yellowstone)
-
Bronco Sport Heritage Limited (Yellowstone)
Yellow Mustangs are good because the color is like a high visibility jacket. It lets you know to avoid this person at all costs. Alternatively, the Bronco heritage colors are so warm and inviting that they make you want to give the truck a hug. The duality of man.
GMC: Solar Flare Metallic ($495)
-
Canyon
I was shocked to learn that any GMC products came in yellow. You hear that GM? That's me clapping for you right now. You did a good job, fella.
Jaguar: Sorrento Yellow ($8,450)
-
F-Pace
I find it weird that Jag's sports car, the F-Type, does not come in yellow, but what do I know? Also, holy hell that's a lot of money for a paint job.
Jeep: High Velocity Clear-Coat ($495)
-
Wrangler
-
Gladiator
-
Renegade (Solar Yellow)
It is a goddamn shame that Jeep no longer offers Hellayella on Wranglers. It's the best color there is, and I will not be taking questions on that fact.
The Renegade comes in a slightly different shade of, you guessed it, yellow.
Lexus: Flare Yellow ($595)
-
RC
-
RC F
-
LC500
I love this color. Goddamn, do I love this color.
Mercedes-Benz: Sun Yellow ($0)
-
CLA
-
CLA45 AMG
-
SL53/63 AMG
It's nice that a serious company like MB can have a little fun with colors. Just a little, though. We don't want to be too silly now, do we?
Mini: Zesty Yellow ($0)
-
Hardtop 2 Door/4 Door
-
Convertible
Of course Minis are going to come in yellow. Pound for pound, they're some of the funkiest and most fun vehicles on the market today.
Mitsubishi: Sand Yellow ($0)
-
Mirage
This right here is the cheapest new yellow car you can buy in America. Bow down to thee.
Nissan: Ikazuchi Yellow TriCoat ($0)
-
Z Proto
If you can find a Z Proto at sticker, then you can also find the cure for cancer. Get working.
Ram: It’s Weird
Basically, Ram sells the 1500 Classic. It's almost exclusively a fleet vehicle, and because of that, Ram gives it some very fleet-ish colors. That's how you end up with: Constriction Yellow, Detonator Yellow, School Bus Yellow, and simply "Yellow" as color options. It may be the best vehicle on sale today.
The color you're seeing here is the very desirable "School Bus Yellow." It's lovely, isn't it?
Rivian: Compass Yellow ($2,500)
-
R1S
-
R1T
Yellow Rivians are the second best Rivians, because green Rivians are the best Rivians. It's still great though.
Toyota: Nitro Yellow ($425)
-
Supra
I cannot say for sure, but I get the feeling that Nitro Yellow is very similar to Lexus's Flare Yellow. It's very surprising, I know.
Volkswagen: Pomelo Yellow Metallic ($0)
-
GTI 40th Anniversary Edition
I'll be honest, I do not love this shade of yellow, but it's still way better than black, white, silver or gray.
