As cross-over SUVs go, few can rival the looks and performance of the Mazda CX-5. What makes the vehicle so exceptional is the technology and engineering that lies behind its stunning exterior. A visit to a Mazda dealer will show that this has resulted in many standout features that set it apart from other vehicles in its class.

4 Standout Features of The 2023 Mazda CX-5 on Show at Your Mazda Dealer

All-Wheel Drive

One of the most impressive aspects of the CX-5 is the number of advanced features that come as standard across all the trim levels. The I-Activ AWD System is an excellent example.

Providing all-wheel drive technology, the system constantly judges road conditions, monitors wheel movement, and assesses the ride. It then adjusts the power supplied to each wheel to ensure a smooth journey, regardless of road conditions.

Off-Road Mode

In conjunction with the AWD system, the CX-5 has an impressive off-road capability built in. If you have to navigate muddy farm tracks or are suddenly confronted with rugged terrain, the off-road traction assist will help you cross the ground more efficiently.

The mode uses a combination of intelligent braking and traction control to stop wheel spin and improve surface grip. It moderates the torque applied to each wheel at a given moment allowing the car to cross different types of ground easily.

Radar Cruise Control

Aiding the driver is crucial for improving and enhancing the driving experience. To this end, several technological innovations are incorporated into the CX-5, with Radar Cruise Control being a great example.

The cruise control can be set to manage your speed and distance from the car in front using radar to regulate both. If you come up behind a slower-moving vehicle, the speed is reduced until the vehicle moves away or you change lanes, allowing the speed to revert to its set level automatically.

Large Cargo Volume

The CX-5 is not just about style and ride but also about practicality. An illustration of this is the up to 59 cu ft of cargo space available, with the rear seats and floorboards set in the right configuration.

You can aid access to the cargo area with the optional Rear Power Liftgate, which can be set to open at different heights. The liftgate has the added safety feature of automatically locking if you don’t open it fully within a few seconds, ensuring it doesn’t spring open when moving off.

The CX-5 is genuinely an impressive vehicle, and these standout features contribute immensely to an enhanced ride and driving experience. Reading about these features is one thing, but appreciating how much difference they make is another. That is why driving the 2023 CX-5 is the best way to discover how good it really is. Call in on us at Rochester Mazda and arrange a test drive today.
