Three new premium colours, namely Soul Red Crystal, Machine Gray and Snow Flake White Pearl Mica are offered.
Soul Red Crystal is billed as having 20% greater colour saturation and 50% more depth than Soul Red, for a more lustrous look. Also offered are two other new colours: Deep Crystal Blue and Sonic Silver.
A new Mazda-exclusive paint line system was built at the Inokom plant for the CX-5, which is said to provide ptemium paint quality and finishing on par or even exceeding that of cars produced in Japan.
"The new CX-5 raised the bar for Mazda in every area: design, performance, functionality. Mazda Malaysia invested RM87mil to bring our latest premium paint process here," said Mazda Motor Corp managing executive officer Masatoshi Maruyama.
The new Cx-5 is set to be launched in Malaysia on Oct 11.
