2027 Mazda CX-90 Colors: Full Guide & Options – The 2027 Mazda CX-90 continues Mazda’s premium three-row SUV lineup for U.S. buyers with the same sophisticated exterior and interior color palette carried over from the 2026 model year. Car and Driver and Edmunds both note that the CX-90 enters its fourth year of production with no major changes expected for 2027, including paint options.
Mazda’s signature Takuminuri (“artisan painting”) process remains a highlight, delivering multi-layered finishes with exceptional depth, light reflection, and durability. Official Mazda USA listings and dealer configurators confirm eight exterior colors, several offered at an extra cost of around $595.
Available Exterior Colors for the 2027 Mazda CX-90
U.S. shoppers can expect these exterior options based on the current 2026 lineup that is expected to continue:
- Artisan Red Premium – A deep, color-shifting red exclusive to higher trims; extra-cost premium finish created with Takuminuri technology.
- Deep Crystal Blue Mica – A rich, versatile blue available across most trims.
- Jet Black Mica – Classic solid black, standard on nearly every trim.
- Machine Gray Metallic – Sophisticated metallic gray; typically extra-cost.
- Platinum Quartz Metallic – Elegant light metallic shade.
- Polymetal Gray Metallic – Modern, technical gray with metallic flake.
- Rhodium White Premium – Bright premium white with reflective qualities; extra-cost.
- Soul Red Crystal Metallic – Mazda’s iconic vibrant red; extra-cost and highly popular.
These colors emphasize Mazda’s Kodo design language, highlighting the CX-90’s sculpted body lines and premium presence on American roads.
Premium Paint Options Explained
Mazda’s premium finishes (Artisan Red Premium, Rhodium White Premium, Machine Gray Metallic, and Soul Red Crystal Metallic) use advanced multi-layer application. Artisan Red, developed specifically for the CX-90, shifts between deep black-cherry tones depending on lighting. Soul Red Crystal remains one of the most recognized paints in the industry for its glow and depth.
These options usually add about $595 and are restricted or more widely available on Preferred and higher trims. Standard colors like Jet Black Mica and Deep Crystal Blue Mica require no upcharge on base Select models.
Interior Color Choices
Interior options depend on trim and pair well with the exterior palette. Common choices include:
- Black leatherette (Select)
- Black or Greige leather (Preferred and above)
- Black or White Nappa leather (Premium Plus and S Premium Plus)
- Select higher trims also offer quilted or premium White Nappa finishes.
These materials reinforce the CX-90’s upscale cabin feel, with Nappa leather reserved for top trims to match the vehicle’s near-luxury positioning.
Color Availability by Trim Level
Availability varies slightly by trim (3.3 Turbo Select, Preferred, Premium Sport, Premium Plus, and the higher-output S variants):
- Select – Primarily Deep Crystal Blue Mica, Jet Black Mica, and Rhodium White Premium (extra).
- Preferred and above – Full range expands, including Platinum Quartz, Polymetal Gray, Machine Gray, Soul Red, and Artisan Red.
- Higher S Premium trims unlock the complete premium palette.
Always confirm exact combinations with a local Mazda dealer or the official build-and-price tool, as inventory and regional availability can differ across the United States.
How to Choose the Best Color for Your CX-90?
Consider climate and lifestyle. Lighter shades such as Rhodium White or Platinum Quartz help manage heat in southern states, while darker metallic finishes like Jet Black or Machine Gray hide road grime better in northern regions. Red options (Soul Red or Artisan Red) stand out for buyers seeking maximum visual impact. Test-drive vehicles in different lighting conditions, as Mazda’s multi-layer paints change dramatically between sunlight and shade.
Resale value tends to favor popular neutrals and the signature reds among U.S. buyers, though personal preference should come first.
Conclusion
The 2027 Mazda CX-90 is expected to retain its refined eight-color exterior lineup and complementary interior choices, maintaining the premium character that has defined the model since its introduction. With no major updates announced, U.S. shoppers can confidently select from the proven 2026 palette of Artisan Red Premium, Soul Red Crystal Metallic, Rhodium White Premium, and the rest of the sophisticated range. Visit a Mazda dealer or the official Mazda USA site to configure your ideal combination and check local inventory as 2027 models arrive later in 2026.
