Introducing Rhodium White Premium Paint: A New Dimension of Kodo Design
Mazda’s dedication to masterful craftsmanship is evident in the introduction of the Rhodium White premium paint option for the 2023 Mazda CX-5. This marks the first time this exquisite color is available in the North American market. Rhodium White is not just another white paint; it’s a testament to Mazda’s Takuminuri painting technology, which also brought us the acclaimed Soul Red Crystal and Machine Gray Metallic. Inspired by Japanese aesthetics and the beauty of simplicity, Rhodium White offers a pure, refined white hue.

Mazda understands that color is integral to vehicle design, and Rhodium White is a prime example of how a carefully chosen color can amplify a vehicle’s inherent beauty.
