IRVINE, Calif., July 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Mazda North American Operations announces pricing and packaging for the 2023 CX-5 – the brand’s best-selling vehicle in the U.S. For 2023, the CX-5 is available with an all-new Rhodium White exterior premium paint color, complimenting Mazda’s Kodo design. As with all of Mazda’s SUVs, all 2023 CX-5 models will retain standard i-Activ all-wheel drive in the U.S. when they arrive in dealerships nationwide this fall.
2023 CX-5
Offered for the first time in the U.S. market, the new Rhodium White premium paint option is a unique color born from Mazda’s exclusive Takuminuri painting technology, following Soul Red Crystal and Machine Gray Metallic. Rhodium White is a pure white inspired by Japanese aesthetics finding beauty in simplicity. The paint’s fine grain accentuates the shadows on the surface of the vehicle complimenting the CX-5’s sculpted body lines. Mazda believes that color is a critical part of vehicle design. It accentuates the vehicle’s dynamic and delicate expression while complimenting the Kodo – Soul of Motion – design theme, something Mazda takes great pride in offering its customers.
The critically acclaimed CX-5 has received numerous top industry and safety awards including the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) TOP SAFETY PICK+. In fact, the CX-5 was the first vehicle to earn a Good rating in IIHS’s new, tougher side impact test. To that end, all the engineering and safety features that contributed to these awards have been carried over to the 2023 model year as standard features. These include Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Smart Brake Support, Advanced Smart City Brake Support, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist. These features allow CX-5 drivers to feel confident and comfortable, from the city streets to the open highway.
The 2023 Mazda CX-5 will be available in eight packages. Each providing customers with a well-equipped vehicle with an impressive list of standard technology and safety features designed to meet their needs while providing the brand’s renowned driving dynamics.
CX-5 2.5 S
The CX-5 2.5 S features Mazda’s Skyactiv-G 2.5-liter, four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine with cylinder deactivation.

This system continuously monitors weight distribution and shifts power to the appropriate wheels, providing drivers with near instant power delivery.
Drawing inspiration from our Kodo design philosophy, the CX-5 stands out in the city even at a standstill. The front bumper features a signature wing which extends outward from the front grill with a unique three-dimensional texture.
