This is a motormouth couple car review of the Mazda CX-5 compact SUV. The 2021.5 model Mazda has upgraded all models to the 10.25” display screen with Mazda Connect. The US, got the upgrade to their 2021 model, but Canada lagged behind. There is a huge improvement to the system.
There will be a new 2022 CX-5 coming sometime in the winter and will have a starting price of $30,200 CAD with standard AWD in Canada. The top Signature trim is coming in at $43,350 CAD, a little more than this 2021.5 model. In addition to design updates for 2022, the 2.5T will receive performance improvements. With premium fuel, it will get a bump in horsepower from 250 to 256 and turbo models will also receive paddle shifters to enhance the driving experience. Looking forward to driving it when it arrives sometime next year. n the meantime, let’s focus on the 2021.5 CX-5, this is the one that is available to buy and you may get a better deal on this model as the 2022’s start to trickle in. Do you have any questions for us for our review, we would love to hear from you, leave them below, we’ll choose some of them for our video. What’s new? i-Activsense is now standard on every CX-5 trim which includes, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, pedestrian detection, forward obstruction, radar cruise control with stop & go, blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. Other standard features include, the 10.25” display and 19” wheels on the GS AWD trim. Our test model is the top Signature trim in Soul Red Crystal Metallic. Mazda embraces the design philosophy “less is more” placing everything you need in arms reach when driving. Mazda uses a simplistic exterior design with lines that reflect light and shadow to give the CX-5 a sense of motion even when parked. The Mazda CX-5 Signature offers a sophisticated interior with a touch of elegance. The beautiful, soft Nappa leather upholstery in Cocoa and Abachi wood trim creates an upscale interior that can easily compete with luxury brands. With improved technology, the standard 10.25” centre display with Mazda Connect is intuitive to use and faster than the outgoing model. Mazda focused on creating a quieter cabin by significantly reducing the noise level of tires and wind especially on the highway. Some standard features of the 2021.5 CX-5 include, a 10.25” display, Apple Carplay and Android Auto, push button start, heated front seats and manual recline rear seats.One up from the base model in Canada comes with a power liftgate, leatherette trimmed upholstery, 6-way power driver’s seat, heated steering wheel and a 6 speaker audio system. The GT trim is where you’ll find the extra features like leather trimmed upholstery, a 10-speaker Bose audio system, heated rear seats, 10-way power driver’s seat, ventilated front seats, driver seat memory, a power passenger seat, navigation system and a 7” LCD display.
When it comes to space the CX-5 is not best in class, but it offers a comfortable interior and has plenty of cargo space for our carry-on and a cooler. It is not as long as the Toyota RAV4, Honda CRV, Volkswagen Tiguan and Nissan Rogue but has equal front legroom to the RAV4, more than the Tiguan, but less than the Rogue and CRV. The CX-5 offers competitive second row legroom with the CRV having the most. Overall cargo capacity and cargo space behind the second row is one of the smallest in this class.
JD Power gives the 2021 Mazda CX-5 an impressive overall score of 82/100 and a quality and reliability score of 81/100. CarEdge states the CX-5 will retain 55% of its value over 5 years. Mazda offers a warranty of 3 years with unlimited km in Canada and 3 years or 36,000 miles in the US.
