2022 Mazda CX-5 Exterior Color Options

February 24th, 2022 by

The robust yet luxurious styling of the 2022 Mazda CX-5 is one of its most defining features.

While it is the updated suspension and increased rigidity of the frame or chassis of the vehicle that give it an edge on the competition in terms of safety, the outside is just as notable.

In contrast to the previous iterations of the Mazda model, the new CX-5 exhibits a more streamlined design in order to emphasize the metallic sheen of the automotive manufacturer’s special three-layer coating technique known as Takuminuri.

Each exterior color of the CX-5 is applied using the Aqua-Tech Paint System — a water-based, environmentally friendly painting method developed by Mazda to replace its oil-based paint systems.

The Aqua-Tech Paint System reduces the emissions of both volatile organic compounds and carbon dioxide compounds by nearly 80% — successfully producing stunning exterior finishes in the process.

Depending on the trim level, the 2022 CX-5 is available in eight different shades:

With a wide spectrum of colors to choose from, there is guaranteed to be a Mazda crossover that is perfect for every consumer.

1. Snowflake White Pearl Mica

The mid-size SUV bedecked in Snowflake White Pearl Mica is sure to enrapture all those who come across it.

True to the name, this exterior color option marvels onlookers with its bright luster. The crisp white paint also complements the compact crossover’s subtle curves and clean lines.

Mazda enthusiasts may recognize how the shade draws the human eye in such a way that consumers cannot help but feel totally synchronized with the vehicle — a signature trait of any Mazda model.

2. Soul Red Crystal Metallic

In 2016, the CX-5 was the first Mazda model to introduce Soul Red Crystal Metallic — an improved version of the brand’s original Soul Red.

Red has been a significant design element to the Japanese automobile producer, as the color represents passion and strength.

The release of Soul Red Crystal Metallic marked a new chapter in the history of the Mazda brand.

Not only did it offer a 20% greater color saturation and 50% more depth than the original Soul Red, but the color also spoke to Mazda’s main design philosophy referred to as Kodo — Soul of Motion.

All other exterior hues are created around the Kodo ideology which adheres to the belief that inanimate objects can still express or embody a spirit through its form.

As the symbol of this concept, Soul Red Crystal Metallic gleams vitality and beckons the driver to be braver, more confident, and in-touch with all that surrounds them.

3. Machine Gray Metallic

Glossy, industrial, and undeniable, a CX-5 in Machine Gray Metallic is a force to be reckoned with.

The steel-colored exterior balances light and shadow to create an enrapturing illusion that the vehicle has been molded to life from molten iron.

5. Polymetal Gray Metallic

Evolved from its predecessors Machine Gray Metallic and Sonic Silver Metallic is Polymetal Gray, an exterior color option exclusively reserved for the 2.5 S Carbon Edition trim level of the latest CX-5.

By combining the best elements of each hue, Mazda craftsmen have produced a slick shade to rival the design of the competition.

6. Eternal Blue Mica

Looking as though it’s been dipped into a glimmering pool of ocean-blue water is Eternal Blue Mica — an exterior color option for the CX-5 that is striking to the eye yet innately tranquil in appearance.

Landlocked consumers can feel as if they are swimming in the cool, shallow depths of the sea thanks to this glistening shade.
