Updated specification includes new-generation infotainment for GT models and above; new alloy wheels for Maxx
Mazda's latest 10.25-inch full colour widescreen Mazda Connect infotainment system now features on Mazda CX-5 GT, GT SP and Akera models.
As with the recently-updated CX-9 flagship, the CX-5's new infotainment system is faster-loading and provides higher-quality graphics and audio sound quality thanks to the use of digital, rather than analogue, signalling.
Maxx, Maxx Sport and Touring variants use an 8.0-inch full colour touchscreen MZD display.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are fitted as standard across the range.
Boosting the entry-point CX-5 Maxx's aesthetic is a new 17-inch alloy wheel, replacing the steel wheels previously employed.
A powertrain to suit every purpose
Following Mazda's philosophy of wide customer choice, the updated Mazda CX-5 is offered with a range of drivetrains including front- and all-wheel drive, manual and automatic transmissions and petrol and diesel engines. All Mazda CX-5 petrol powertrains are designed to run on 91-octane unleaded fuel to minimise running costs.
