The centre console tray includes a Qi wireless charger to enable charging of compatible smartphones and other devices placed on it when the engine is running.

The windscreen-type Active Driving Display is divided into two zones for better legibility with high-priority vehicle-status information and advanced safety information shown in the lower section, and driving environment information such as turn-by-turn directions in the upper section.

Newly adopted front-seat ventilation system draws hot and humid air away from areas where the occupant’s body is in contact with the seat surface, providing a more comfortable driving environment. The system offers three-stage control over ventilation strength.

The system features four cameras on the front, sides and rear of the vehicle to show the area around the car on a central display. Combined with alarm sounds triggered by eight parking sensors at the front and rear, the system helps you to avoid danger when pulling into or out of a garage, approaching T-shaped intersections or passing an oncoming car on a narrow road.

Small details can make the biggest impact. This kind of thinking inspired Mazda engineers to spend years developing Skyactiv-Vehicle Dynamics with G-Vectoring Control Plus (GVC PLUS) — a subtle technology standard on the Mazda CX-5 and designed to help achieve a smoother, less fatiguing drive.

Conventional internal combustion engines only harness around 30% of the potential energy in the fuel they consume: the rest is wasted. So Mazda developed Skyactiv-G, a high-efficiency engine that compresses the air-fuel mixture to a much higher degree than in conventional powerplants, squeezing far more energy from every drop of fuel.

This high compression ratio, unparalleled among mass production engines, delivers both sheer driving pleasure and outstanding fuel economy. And it’s further enhanced by a raft of innovative Mazda technologies including optimized intake ports and piston shape, split fuel injection and a coolant control valve.

The Mazda developed M-Hybrid system recovers energy during deceleration to generate power for on-board electrical equipment. It also powers the motor to assist the engine when accelerating from a standstill.

BSM uses 24GHz quasi-milliwave radar sensors to detect vehicles in the blind spots behind and to the side, and using a turn signal while BSM detects a vehicle triggers visual and audio warnings.

RCTA uses the same sensors as BSM to alert the driver when it detects vehicles approaching from either side during reversing operations. Warnings are given by a flashing indicator in the door mirror and a beep.

With its high-performance forward sensing camera, Advanced SCBS detects vehicles and pedestrians* in front of the vehicle and automatically applies the brakes to help avoid collisions and mitigate collision damage.

The system detects vehicles at speeds between approximately 4 and 80 km/h and pedestrians at about 10 to 80 km/h, and is upgraded to detect pedestrians at night and operate effectively in a wider range of conditions. *Detection of pedestrians and consequent automatic braking are not available in certain countries and regions.

Confidence is engineered into every Mazda. Thanks to a suite of available sophisticated safety technologies. The sort of innovations and detection devices that help drivers recognize potential hazards to better avoid collisions, or lessen their impact. So you can focus on what really matters–the road ahead.
