January 28 2021, Scarboro Mazda
The Mazda CX-5 never ceases to amaze us - with its powerful Turbo Engine paired with i-Activ AWD, the dynamic SUV offers impressive power and handling you can feel from the moment you step on the accelerator.
Beautifully designed and crafted inside and out, the Mazda CX-5 envelops you in comfort and sophistication with available heated front and rear seats and natural materials like Cocoa Nappa leather and genuine layered Abachi wood trim.
Impressive at all trim levels, you can customize and configure your Mazda CX-5 to best suit your lifestyle. The 2021 Mazda CX-5 also comes in 2 exclusive and limited editions: The Kuro and the 100th Anniversary Edition.
Let's talk about key features:
Performance
Mazda's i-ACTIV AWD delivers uncompromised performance and handling for Canada's varied terrain and weather conditions. Utilizing 27 sensors to monitor driving conditions 200 times per second - everything from outside temperature and windshield wipers, which are used for acceleration and braking patterns, i-Activ AWD not only forecasts when you'll need better road grip, but also readies your CX-5 to deliver the traction you need at the precise moment you need it. Instantly responsive, torque is transferred to the rear wheels to deliver more traction at the moment it is needed most. While staying exceptionally fuel efficient and ensuring optimal distribution of torque and minimizing drivetrain energy loss, fuel is only used to power i-Activ AWD when necessary.
Mazda's Skyactiv-vehicle technology - every aspect of Mazda, from the body construction to engine technology, is designed to work together to maximize efficiency and deliver exceptional driving dynamics. The available Skyactiv-G 2.5T Dynamic Pressure Turbo engine delivers 320lb-ft of torque and up to 250 horsepower* - for a more powerful presence on the road. Its super fuel economy, agile handing and refined performance respond to your every intention. G-Vectoring Control Plus creates a feeling of oneness between you, your vehicle and the road. By subtly shifting the car's weight in turns, it improves traction and handling for a smoother, more confident driving experience.
Design
Beyond our streamlined vehicle design, every Mazda embraces our "less is more" design philosophy, placing everything essential within arms' reach, so you can better connect to your journey. Every small detail - from the infotainment control knob to every control button being right by your hand is carefully designed for safety and comfort.
Elevate your drive with Nappa leather-trimmed upholstery and stylish Abachi wood trim in the Mazda CX-5's quiet cabin. We focused on creating a quieter ride by significantly reducing the transmission noise generated by tires as well as wind - especially at highway speeds - so you can fully enjoy conversation, music and more.
Technology
Stay focused on the road ahead with seamless connectivity that keeps you engaged with your drive.
Custom built 10-speaker Bose Premium sound system for an outstanding clarity, image and power. Effortless connectivity with an 8"-wide colour display and infotainment system. With Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, take your personal assistant with you everywhere you go. Our most favourite feature - Mazda's windshield-projected colour Active Driving Display, projecting critical driving information on the windshield, right within your line of sight. The information is delivered seamlessly so that your driving experience is undisturbed and uninhibited.
