More premium than mainstream, the Mazda CX-5 interior is full of classy touches- Kelly Blue Book
The interiors are where the Mazda CX-5 will continue winning hearts. The design is so clean and effortlessly makes itself in the group of opulent SUVs. From seating surfaces to the dash, interiors are elevated in luxury with optional genuine layered wood trim, Nappa leather-trimmed seats, and premium stitching. Mazda has improved seat comfort by redesigning the seats for a more comfortable experience. Therefore, the front-seat comfort is excellent for long journeys.
The seats are treated with cloth, leatherette, and leather, depending on the trim levels. The front seats are power-adjusted with heated and ventilated functionality from the Grand Touring trim onwards. The rear seats are appreciably comfortable but the middle seat is small, thereby cutting on comfort. Therefore, two adults at the back can get easily comfortable with adequate head and legroom in both rows. Overall, the CX-5 cabin is a comfortable place to be.
On the infotainment front, the CX-5 features a high-graphic 10.25-inch touchscreen that supports Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as standard. The Mazda Connect interface is very intuitive, immensely responsive and the graphics are sharp and clear. The dials and gauges make it easy for less tech-savvy passengers to access the menus and other features. The system is paired to a 10-speaker Bose sound system on higher models but a 4-speaker stereo is standard.
