Is it possible for a model line to have no base variant? That’s certainly how it feels after this 2024 Mazda CX-5 update.
Reminding everyone that no one does color like Mazda, buyers are given lovely hues to choose from: Soul Red Crystal, Machine Gray, Polymetal Gray, Deep Crystal Blue, and Jet Black are available across all variants, while Snowflake White Pearl and the new Platinum Quartz are available on the 2.0L Sport and 2.5L AWD Sport. Two shades—Rhodium White Premium and Zircon Sand—are exclusive to the 2.5L AWD Turbo.CONTINUE READING BELOW ↓ Watch now Additional welcome improvements occur in the cabin.
And here are details we’re quite fond of: The seats are finished in black leather with orange stitching on the 2.0L Sport and 2.5L AWD Sport. The 2.5L AWD Turbo elevates this experience further with its deep red nappa leather seats. All variants feature 10-way power adjustment for the driver and six-way power adjust for the front passenger seat, with the 2.5L AWD Turbo getting standard front seat ventilation.
As expected there is no shortage of safety features. The range has standard Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, while the 2.5L AWD Turbo uses its millimeter wave radar and camera to offer advanced i-Activsense driver assist features: Mazda Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning with Lane-Keep Assist, Smart Brake Support, front and rear Smart City Brake Support, and Driver Attention Alert.
