Is the Mazda CX-5 a luxury car?

What’s more, you’ll be getting a near-luxury car for less than an actual luxury car would cost you.

What is the difference between Mazda CX-5 Touring and Sport trims?

Two trims from the 2021 edition of the CX-5 are frequently compared – but how exactly do they differ?

Let’s take a look at the Sport trim first, since this is the base trim. With that said, it’s by no means basic. Up front, it features a 10.25” touchscreen, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, Bluetooth, and Connected Services capability – so you can search for petrol stations, receive traffic info, and explore places of interest located where you’re heading. Basically, it’s a way of making travelling a lot more stress-free.

The Sport also has push-button start, an integrated Wi-Fi hotspot, HD radio, a four-speaker stereo, and two USB ports as standard. Its seats also feature cloth upholstery, while the leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob add a touch of luxury to your journeys.

When it comes to safety features, the Sport is no slouch. You’ll find forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning with lane keep assist, automatic high beams, rain-sensing wipers, and a rear-view camera – all as standard!

So how does the Touring trim compare? Well, for starters, there’s no cloth upholstery here – it’s been replaced with synthetic leather instead. Heated front seats and a dual-zone automatic climate control ensure the perfect inside conditions on the go, while the six-speaker stereo keeps your car’s soundtrack coming through with pitch-perfect clarity. In the back, your passengers get an armrest and two USB ports to charge their gadgets.

If you opt for the next trim up, the Touring Preferred SV, you’ll get even more too! Genuine leather upholstery isn’t the only step-up the seats get. Up front, the driver now gets an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, while the passenger can feel the comfort of a six-way power-adjustable passenger’s seat. There’s also a universal garage door opener, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror and, maybe best of all, a premium 10-speaker Bose stereo system!
