Mazda Canada recently introduced mid-model year updates for its best-selling CX-5 compact crossover and seven-passenger CX-9 crossover, which continue to define the standard for a refined driving experience in their respective segments.
With this new update, both models see upgrades to technology with the largest infotainment screen to be equipped on CX-5 and CX-9 models, and CX-5 receives the full suite of i-Activsense safety features as standard equipment.
Technological improvements
New for the 2021.5 CX-5 and CX-9 is a standard 10.25-inch large center display with the latest Mazda Connect infotainment interface. The new infotainment has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities and will also add Mazda Connected Services, which will be available this Fall. Through the MyMazda app, customers will be able to use features such as remote engine start/stop, locking/unlocking the doors, and viewing a vehicle health status report.
Standard i-Activsense
For an extra layer of confidence and peace of mind, the 2021.5 CX-5 GX also adds Mazda's i-Activsense safety technology as standard equipment. In addition to the previously standard Smart City Brake Support Front, Advanced Blind Spot Monitoring, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, the 2021.5 model will also include Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop&Go, Smart Brake Support Front, Pedestrian Detection, Lane-keep Assist System, Lane Departure Warning System, and more.
Other standard equipment on the GX model includes a wide-angle rearview camera, LED headlights and daytime running lights, automatic on/off headlights, High Beam Control, adjustable heated front seats, cloth upholstery, and rain-sensing front wipers.
More character
Updates to other trim levels includes newly available 19-inch wheels for the CX-5 GS with i-Activ AWD, which were previously reserved for higher trim levels. The unique and bold style of the Kuro Edition, introduced for 2021, carries into the 2021.5 model year and now includes the option of black leather with red stitching in addition to the original Garnet Red leather upholstery.
The 2021.5 Mazda CX-5 and CX-9 will be available starting next month. Stop by Mazda 2-20 to reserve yours.
