Mazda announced pricing and packaging this week for the 2023 CX-5 – the brand's top-selling vehicle in the U.S. One of the highlights of the 2023 model year is an available all-new Rhodium White exterior premium paint color.
The new Rhodium White premium paint option is a unique color created from Mazda's exclusive Takuminuri painting technology and is available in the U.S. market for the first time. Designed with the same spirit as the Soul Red Crystal and Machine Gray Metallic, Rhodium White is a pure white inspired by Japanese aesthetics, focused on finding beauty in simplicity. The fine grain of the paint accentuates the shadows on the vehicle's surface, highlighting the refined body lines of the CX-5.
Mazda is an automaker that believes color is a critical component of vehicle design. Color accentuates the vehicle's dynamic expression, with the CX-5 complimenting the Kodo “Soul of Motion” design theme, a mark of pride for Mazda and its customer offerings. Soul Red Crystal Metallic, Machine Gray Premium, and Rhodium White Premium color options are available at $595 additional cost.
Complementing the Kodo design for all 2023 CX-5 models when they arrive in dealerships this fall is the retention of standard i-Activ all-wheel drive, a feature that has become standard on all of Mazda's SUVs in the U.S.
The Mazda CX-5 has received a multitude of top industry and safety awards, including the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety [IIHS] Top Safety Pick. It’s one of the many reasons why all the engineering and safety features attributed to winning these awards have been carried forward to the 2023 model year. Some of these features include Smart Brake Support, Advanced Smart City Brake Support, Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist.
The 2023 Mazda CX-5 will be available in eight trim packages, each providing consumers with a well-equipped vehicle and a moderately long list of standard technology and safety features designed to meet their needs.
Starting MSRP for the 2023 Mazda CX-5 trims is as follows:
CX-5 2.5 S - $26,700
CX-5 2.5 S Select - $28,500
CX-5 2.5 S Preferred - $29,590
CX-5 2.5 S Carbon Edition - $30,500
CX-5 2.5 S Premium - $32,400
