The 2024 Mazda CX-5 is an impressive small crossover, which continues to edge out its competition with a plush cabin, exciting driving dynamics, and advanced tech features. Keep reading to find out about a few of the many features that have turned drivers into loyal CX-5 fans.

1. Luxurious Cabin

The CX-5’s cabin is designed with the comfort of all five passengers in mind, with standard leatherette-trimmed seats, heated front seats, and dual-zone automatic climate control. The interior has a sophisticated design and premium materials, including a leather-wrapped gear selector and steering wheel. The rear seatback reclines and folds down along a 40/20/40 split, so you can make use of 30.0 cu. ft. of cargo space behind the rear seats or 59.3 cu. ft. with the seats fully folded.

2. Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go

When the highway gets crowded, the CX-5 helps you navigate traffic with standard Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go. Unlike a standard cruise control system, which needs to be canceled when you need to slow down, this system can detect the vehicle ahead of yours and adjust your speed automatically. It can even bring your CX-5 to a complete stop if needed, then resume travel when traffic starts moving again.

3. Impressive Performance

The CX-5 keeps you connected to the road with precise handling and G-Vectoring Control Plus to add stability through turns and reduce driver and passenger fatigue. Standard i-ACTIV AWD responds to road conditions by delivering power to the wheels with the most traction, giving you more control over your drive.

Shoppers can choose from eight available trims with two engine options. The standard 2.5-liter engine produces 187 horsepower and averages an EPA-estimated 28 MPG combined. Choose a turbo trim for the Dynamic Pressure Turbo engine’s 256 horsepower and 24 MPG combined efficiency.

4. Mazda Connected Services

With a 3-year complimentary subscription to Mazda Connected Services, you can use your smartphone or Apple Watch to stay connected to your CX-5 from anywhere. Just open the MyMazda App, and you can get your CX-5 ready to go before you reach your car by remotely starting the engine. You can also locate your vehicle on a map, remotely lock or unlock the doors, and get notifications when your CX-5 needs service.

5. MAZDA CONNECT Infotainment System

Vehicle information, audio settings, and smartphone apps are all easy to see at a glance on the CX-5’s standard 10.25-inch color infotainment display. It’s easy to interact with this display, too, using your choice of voice command or Multifunction Commander control. You can connect your smartphone using standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and keep it charged up with one of four USB ports or an available wireless phone charger.
