car_truckFor 2024, Mazda sharpened the CX‑5 GT’s poise and polish, refining cabin quietness, smoothing drivetrain responses, and elevating in-car connectivity. This pre-owned example showcases those latest-year gains in 0202 DM Black, presenting a confident, athletic stance that feels as tailored as it looks.
Under the hood, the SKYACTIV‑G 2.5‑liter four-cylinder pairs direct injection with cylinder deactivation and auto stop/start to balance eager acceleration with sensible consumption. Rated at 187 hp and linked to a quick-witted SKYACTIV‑Drive six-speed automatic with a manual mode and lock-up control, the powertrain delivers clean, linear thrust. Mazda’s i‑ACTIV all-wheel drive works quietly in the background, predicting slip and pre-loading torque where it’s needed, while G‑Vectoring Control Plus subtly trims yaw for calm, precise cornering. The result is the rare SUV that feels unflustered on winter-worn commutes yet alive on a winding back road.
Four-channel ABS, a rigid body structure, and a well-tuned suspension with gas-pressurized dampers further the theme of control without harshness.
Open the door to a cabin designed around the driver. Leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats with memory, and a heated steering wheel establish immediate comfort. The front seats add ventilation for summer days, and the rear bench is heated as well, with a 40/20/40 split that swallows skis or strollers without drama. Thoughtful touches are everywhere: an auto-dimming mirror, richly padded armrests, and metal-look accents that echo the restrained exterior detailing.
Technology arrives with the same sense of purpose. A crisp 10.2-inch Mazda Connect display anchors the dash, supported by voice-ready navigation, wireless smartphone integration, Bluetooth streaming, and front wireless charging. The Bose 10-speaker system, complete with Centerpoint digital processing and a premium amplifier, wraps the cabin in immersive sound whether you’re navigating traffic updates or savoring a favorite playlist.
An Active Driving Display head-up projection keeps speed and guidance within your natural sightline, reducing distraction when the road demands attention.
Mazda’s i‑ACTIVSENSE suite is comprehensive and confidence-inspiring. Radar cruise with Stop & Go eases congestion, while lane-keep assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision mitigation, and traffic sign recognition provide layered awareness. At night, adaptive LED headlights and automatic high beams paint a clear, precise path, complemented by rain-sensing wipers when weather rolls in.
Practicality is built in, not bolted on. A power liftgate opens to a wide, flat cargo bay with tie-downs and a neatly stowed spare under the floor. Dual-zone climate control with dedicated rear ducts keeps everyone content, and multiple USB ports plus three 12V outlets make device management painless.
With only 24,280 kilometers indicated and thrifty estimates of 9.1 L/100 km city and 7.7 L/100 km highway, this CX‑5 GT promises years of low-drama mileage.
Outside, 19-inch alloys, a tasteful rear lip spoiler, and a black grille with chrome accents underscore the CX‑5’s tailored demeanor. Subtle? Yes. Ordinary? Never. The 2024 refinements make this GT feel even more cohesive—an SUV that wears its sophistication lightly and makes every drive feel considered, connected, and quietly special.
