If you plan to buy a RAV4, one of the most significant decisions you must make is the color you want the SUV to be. That’s why looking at the Cavalry Blue color from every angle is helpful. Picture this SUV in your driveway. 

Color Description

Personally, I think this is one of the most unique colors Toyota offers. Most automakers are happy to push black, gray, white, red, and a navy blue color, but few offer something that truly stands out in a crowd.

The Cavalry Blue is subtle yet eye-catching. It has a distinct undertone of gray in the mix but is also all blue. 

To make this unique color, the manufacturer applies the paint with a special clearcoat formula that truly makes it shine. Toyota did well, as this is one of the most popular shades offered with the RAV4.

Availability

The Cavalry Blue was first included with the 2022 RAV4 colors. Because of its popularity, it’s hard to imagine that Toyota plans to discontinue it any time soon. 

With the 2023 RAV4 lineup, Cavalry Blue can be added to these trim levels.

  • RAV4 TRD Off-Road (also available with an Ice Edge roof)
  • RAV4 Hybrid SE
  • RAV4 Hybrid XSE
  • RAV4 Hybrid Woodland Edition

What Consumers Are Saying

What do other people think of the Cavalry Blue color? Here are some online quotes worth reading.

“I LOVE my Cavalry Blue!! It feels adaptive, almost like it feels Sky Blue when it’s bright and kinda grey when it’s overcast.”

“I got a Cavalry Blue sight unseen (other than the website) and I get so many comments on how nice the color is. I didn’t want a shade of grey and the red didn’t do it for me…. I find myself checking it out when I walk by it from time to time.”

“My decision process came down to 2 things: 1) the (lack of) availability of Cavalry, and more importantly in my opinion 2) it is a more ‘trendy’ and polarizing color. I don’t know how I’d personally feel about it in 5-8 years, which swayed me from it.”

Overall, it’s clear to see that people love this RAV4 color. Even that last comment made something pretty clear. User tpitch14 wasn’t able to get a RAV4 in Cavalry Blue, therefore, they chose the other option. Would the answer have been different if that RAV4 had been available? We think it might be a possibility. 

Other Blue Colors to Consider

You have another option if you aren’t fond of the Cavalry Blue or can’t get one at your local dealership. Select 2022 and 2023 RAV4 models are currently offered with Blueprint, which is the only other blue hue in the lineup. 

However, Blueprint is slightly different with its metallic paint and silver undercoating. It’s also much darker. On a bright note, Blueprint can be added to your RAV4 Prime.

    I found the Calvary blue a little to dynamic myself. There are a few in our area ( Okanagan Valley B.C.) that I have seen in person. I have a Blueprint Blue XLE and have had many positive comments on it. Maybe I’m just an old conservative guy, but I really enjoy how the Blueprint Blue changes with different lighting.
