Mazda CX-5 2019 in the Arctic Circle

With the second generation CX-5, Mazda’s engineers delivered an SUV that takes the Jinba Ittai car-and-driver as-one design and engineering philosophy to the next level. Complimented by the introduction of G-Vectoring Control (GVC), the first of Mazda’s Skyactiv-Vehicle Dynamic technologies, it became more comfortable, refined and responsive. Such attributes have earned Mazda’s ground-breaking SUV high praise globally, and it was a top three finalist in the 2018 World Car of the Year awards. The updated, 2019 CX-5 builds on the many and diverse strengths of the second generation model with refinements focused on two key areas - cabin quality and technology, and driving dynamics. Numerous interior elements have been refined and upgraded to raise the quality of both the cabin environment and its HMI technology. A new, high grade interior package features genuine Nappa leather, real wood decorative panels and other high-quality materials. This package also includes a seven-inch TFT LCD display that can show a variety of information, mounted in the centre of the driver’s instrument cluster. And front-seat ventilation is adopted on models with leather upholstery. In addition, on-board connectivity has been evolved to support both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing users to operate both iPhone and smartphone apps via the Mazda MZD Connect system.
