The all-new CX-5, currently Mazda’s best-selling model, will be the first to offer the brand’s new Navy Blue Mica paint, a hue the company expects to stay in favor for years.

The all-new CX-5 finished in Navy Blue Mica will make its first appearance at the Tokyo motor show in January 2026.

Mazda has a long history with blue. In the 1970s, blue became a corporate signature, and a blue tone was also used on the first-generation CX-5. In fact, the company offers more than 150 color names that include the word blue—shades that Mazda customers around the world have embraced.

Navy Blue Mica is a dark blue developed from Deep Crystal Blue Mica. Its mica flake was engineered to deliver vivid brightness and saturation in the highlights and a deep, refined character in the shadows. To reach that goal, the team worked to a high-resolution brief: they balanced different types of mica particles and aligned them horizontally to ensure precise, crisp color rendition and high contrast that accentuate texture and detail. As a result, design elements remain easy to read in any weather, whether in sun or rain. The shade reads as a blue that sculpts the body’s surfaces rather than masking them.

Guided by the view that color is a core element in shaping a vehicle, Mazda intends to keep pursuing design that embodies a sense of living energy and delivers the joy of driving.
