After getting a minor visual update and standard all-wheel drive in 2022, the 2023 CX-5 remains pretty much unchanged for 2023, apart from the new addition of a paint color: Rhodium White. On the outside, the crossover draws inspiration from the brand’s signature Kodo design philosophy. Out of the eight trim levels, the top-end 2.5 Turbo Signature trim appeals to the eyes with its sleek exterior styling. Its unique gloss black front grille, 19” alloy wheels, and matching body-colored lower bumper and wheel arches make it stand out.
