Mazda SA on Monday unveiled its sporty new 2021 CX-5 Carbon Edition that comes locked and loaded with a variety of unique styling tweaks.
While the exterior benefits from gloss black side mirrors and 19-inch alloy wheels, the interior has been jazzed up with black film on the dashboard and door panels. You will also find red stitching on the steering wheel, gear lever, knee pads and seats. The latter have been upholstered in leather and suede.
Mazda says customers can choose from one of six exterior colours: Snowflake White Pearl, Sonic Silver, Machine Grey, Soul Red Crystal, Polymetal Grey and Jet Black.
• The Japanese carmaker has added a Carbon Edition model its its line-up.
• Mazda says the Carbon Edition model replaces the outgoing Individual Auto FWD derivative.
Mazda will offer a new derivative to its CX-5 range: 2.0L Carbon Edition FWD. The replacement for the Individual model offers an exclusive and sporty look, on both the exterior and interior says the Japanese carmaker.
