Mazda CX-5 Interior & Exterior Color Options

Mazda’s popular CX-5 SUV comes in eight trim levels, each with its selection of exterior colors and interior upholstery options. You can get the CX-5 in 2.5 S, 2.5 S Select, 2.5 S Preferred, 2.5 S Carbon Edition, 2.5 S Premium, 2.5 S Premium Plus, 2.5 Turbo, and 2.5 Turbo Signature models. As you move higher up in the trim levels, you can find additional options for exterior and interior colors and fabrics.

If you’re looking for something specific, we had our vehicle experts create a list of Mazda CX-5 trims with their respective options and some of the basic features you can expect to find on each.

Mazda CX-5 Base Model Exterior Color Options

The base model 2.5 S offers the following four exterior color options:

• Soul Red Crystal Metallic.
• Snowflake White Pearl Mica.
• Eternal Blue Mica.
• Jet Black Mica.

Soul Red Crystal Metallic

Red has deep roots in Japanese culture. Red denotes passion and strength, and even Japan’s national flag uses red to depict the sun. Such a powerful color needs the proper canvas. Mazda adopted a philosophy called Kodo, or Soul of Motion, when designing its vehicles. The intent was to create a form inspired from the moment you laid eyes on it. Thus, Soul of Motion captures the power and emotion of the color red. Painted on the sculpted body of the CX-5, you see the beauty perfectly, as the design captures the essence of motion.

Snowflake White Pearl Mica

Like snow falling from the sky, this color captures the pure white brightness of fresh falling snow. Imagine a blizzard with snow falling in thick blankets, the white almost burning your eyes with its brilliance. From a distance, this color dazzles, yet, up close, you see the softened tones similar to a pearl. The iridescent radiance of a pearl that subtly absorbs the light while still reflecting it draws the eyes to the CX-5 exterior, where your gaze lingers, lost in the depths of the pearl.

Eternal Blue Mica

If you’ve ever stepped outside on a sunny summer day and looked to the skies without a cloud in sight, that’s the color of Eternal Blue Mica. Clear, unspoiled blue as far as the horizon transfixes you while the mica flakes reflect the actual sun, resulting in an instinctual squint. Your CX-5 painted in Eternal Blue Mica urges you forward on your summer adventure.

Jet Black Mica

In psychology, black represents mystery, power, elegance, and sophistication. The use of mica in the paint’s composition adds sparkle to this already rich color. Yet, at the same time, black can evoke sadness and anger. Picture a midnight sky thick with stars that make you feel small, yet part of something much larger than you can imagine—beautiful, mysterious, and full of infinite possibilities.

Mazda CX-5 Middle-Tier Exterior Color Options

The CX-5 2.5 S Select, 2.5 S Preferred, 2.5 S Premium, 2.5 S Premium Plus, and 2.5 Turbo all feature the same seven exterior colors. You have the option of the four colors above plus the following three:

• Sonic Silver Metallic.
• Deep Crystal Blue Mica.
• Machine Gray Metallic.

Sonic Silver Metallic

The distinguished color silver has always represented wealth, modernity, glamor, grace, and elegance. The metal itself calls to mind innovation, refinement, sleekness, and sophistication. It’s the perfect color to capture the soul of the Mazda CX-5. The paint mixed with metal flakes remind you of a rocket as it hurtles through the sky. Unfortunately, you cannot get Sonic Silver Metallic on the 2.5 Turbo Signature model.

Deep Crystal Blue Mica

This deep, dark blue color looks like the midnight sky with a full moon casting the black into a magical blue hue. We associate this dark blue color with knowledge, power, integrity, and seriousness. You tackle life with a purpose if you love this color, and your Mazda CX-5 helps you navigate your way.

Machine Gray Metallic

Another prime color in Mazda’s Kodo design, Machine Gray Metallic, expresses machines’ beauty, strength, and precision. This color contrasts light and shadow perfectly, and its high-density finish transforms the CX-5 machine into something more like sleek, sculpted metal.

Mazda CX-5 Carbon Edition Polymetal Gray Metallic

You have only one color choice with the Carbon Edition, Polymetal Gray Metallic. Fortunately, you only need one color with this special edition CX-5. The Carbon Edition exterior of black and gray creates a two-tone palette of strength and precision as the paint captures the play of light and shadow. Layers of aluminum flakes reflect on surfaces the light hits while providing depth where the light fails to reach.

Mazda CX-5 Interior Color Options

The base model 2.5 S comes with premium cloth upholstery in Black with dark gray trim. On the 2.5 S Select trim, you get beautiful and durable leatherette seats with luxe suede inserts. You can choose either Black or Silk Beige colors with matching trim. In the 2.5 S Preferred, 2.5 S Premium, and 2.5 S Premium Plus models, you elevate to leather upholstery colored in Black or Parchment.

You have trim-exclusive red or black leather seats with contrast stitching for the Carbon Edition. You also see red contrast stitching on the leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear shift selector. Mazda offers a Black leather interior on the 2.5 Turbo trim with matching trim. The top-tier 2.5 Turbo Signature model comes standard with Caturra Brown Nappa leather upholstery matched with genuine layered wood interior trim, creating a refined and sophisticated cabin.

Mazda’s dedication to Kodo design resulted in cars that inspire as you approach, eagerly anticipating the ensuing driving experience.
