Mazda CX-5 has been a very popular model for Mazda and for good reason. It comes with a comprehensive list of tech and infotainment features, even in the lower grades.
The latest CX-5, which is due in early 2023 comes with the new generation 10.25-inch Mazda Connect infotainment system. For Maxx Sport and above, the system includes Mazda’s seventh-generation navigation system too.
The centre console has upgraded to the new USB-C ports and has wireless smart phone mirroring for MAXX models and above.
One particularly clever feature is the new remote window function in the key fob. This allows all windows to be put down at the touch of a button. Great in our extremely hot summer days.
Models come with a choice of three engines, a 2.0L petrol engine in the entry level Maxx model and 2.5L petrol for the Maxx Sport and above. There is also a 2.2L diesel, as well as FWD and AWD.
With the upgraded technology and connectivity, Mazda have taken a good vehicle and made ot even better.
The updated Mazda CX-5 is on sale now. Pricing is from $35,390 through to $53,880 plus the usual costs.
