The snow may now be flying horizontally past your attic window, but it is really Easter. That is why we come up with an overview of ten cars that you can now order in the sunniest color you can imagine: yellow! In some cases that doesn’t even cost a cent extra …
The ‘Easter color’ yellow is by definition a very bold choice on a car. Where with red, blue or green you always opt for a slightly more covered, dark variant, yellow is actually always very ‘in your face’.
It is therefore logical that yellow cars are quite rare. Like many other bright shades, we actually see yellow mainly on very cheap city cars or very pricey exotics. In the mid-range, made up of business-like hatchbacks, station wagons and SUVs, yellow is a very bold choice.
Emerging
Yet the color seems to be on the rise again. More and more manufacturers are even choosing to present a new car in yellow, such as Volkswagen with the ID4 and Kia with the XCeed. There are also brands that do not charge extra for yellow, as if they want to do everything they can to sell as many yellow cars as possible.
The most famous recent example is without a doubt the Peugeot 208, which is delivered in beautiful ‘Jaune Faro’ without paying an extra cent. At Mercedes, ‘Zonnegeel’ (nice Dutch, by the way) costs a little extra, but € 254 on the price of an A-class or CLA is still negligible.
Hero
The list below is not a ranking, but a random overview of ten cars that are delivered in yellow and in many cases are also relatively often sold in yellow. The most expensive yellow paint on the list is that of Audi, which delivers an A6 or A7 for an additional fee of more than 4,000 euros in lemon yellow. Paying that to have your stern, business sedan or station wagon painted in crackling yellow is a downright heroic act for us.
| Fashion model | Color | Surcharge | |
| 1. | Peugeot 208 | Jaune Faro | € 0.00 |
| 2. | Mercedes A / CLA | Sunset yellow | € 254.00 |
| 3. | Audi A6 / A7 | Lemon yellow | € 4,060.76 |
| 4. | Volkswagen ID4 | Honey Yellow | € 802.00 |
| 5. | Kia Xceed | Quantum Yellow | € 795.00 |
| 6. | Renault Twingo | Jaune Mango | € 195.00 |
| 7. | Toyota Supra | Lightning Yellow | € 0.00 |
| 8. | Lexus LC500 (h) | Flare Yellow | € 1,395.00 |
| 9. | Suzuki Vitara | Solar Yellow | € 799.00 |
| 10. | BMW M3 / M4 | Sao Paulo Gelb | € 1,294.70 |
Safety vest
It is a little less heroic to have a BMW M3 or M4 executed in ‘Sao Paulo Gelb’. After all, such a pure sportsman is already quite striking in itself, but for € 1,295 you get a bright shade that even the safety vest in your trunk is jealous of.
At the bottom of the market, the Renault Twingo is a striking yellow offer. For only € 195, Renault injects its smallest in ‘Jaune Mango’ and that suits it perfectly in our opinion.
Are you in the market for a bright color, but not for yellow? Don’t worry: a similar overview appeared for the color orange earlier.
