The 2024 Mazda CX-5 is available in the following exterior paint colours:
Metallic finishes cost an extra $795.
The Koleos range is available in just four colours: Millesim Red, Metallic White, Metallic Grey and Metallic Black. Unusually, the red is a no-cost option, while the monochromatic shades are an extra $800.
