2019 Mazda CX-5

The Sculpted Luxury Athlete: Premium European Aesthetics Fused with 31 MPG Compact EfficiencyThe 2019 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring is engineered precisely for the Tacoma driver who desires the elevated visibility, all-weather confidence, and flexible utility of a compact crossover, but refuses to surrender high-end cabin luxury or razor-sharp road dynamics. Standing completely apart from the bland, appliance-like choices saturating the compact SUV segment, the CX-5 utilizes Mazda's award-winning 'Kodo: Soul of Motion' design philosophy to present a vehicle that looks like a moving piece of art. The high-tier Grand Touring (GT) configuration heavily turns heads on the streetshowing off an aggressive, chrome-winged front grille, brilliant adaptive LED headlights that turn in sync with the steering wheel, LED fog lights, a power sliding-glass moonroof, and bold 19-inch brilliant silver aluminum alloy wheels. Having covered a well-managed 81,000 miles, this athletic crossover rests in fantastic mechanical condition and has completely bypassed steep initial showroom depreciation. Whether you are daily commuting down I-5 past JBLM, navigating a dark, pouring rainstorm near the Tacoma Dome, or packing up gear on South Tacoma Way, the CX-5 Grand Touring serves as a premium, highly rewarding financial shield.Under the sculpted, sloping hood sits a brilliant masterclass in naturally aspirated powertrain design: Mazda's 2.5L SKYACTIV-G Inline 4-cylinder engine. Delivering a responsive, linear 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque, this eager engine completely avoids the rubbery, delayed acceleration feel common in competitor turbochargers. Rather than utilizing a loud or stretching continuously variable transmission (CVT), Mazda pairs this engine with a crisp, lightning-quick 6-speed automatic transmission with manual shift control and a dedicated Sport Mode toggle. For the 2019 model year, Mazda further advanced the driving experience by making its innovative G-Vectoring Control Plus (GVC Plus) system standard across the lineupa highly sophisticated technology that subtly applies light braking and engine torque adjustments during cornering to transfer vehicle weight seamlessly, resulting in laser-sharp steering accuracy and an incredibly flat, confident grip through wet, twisting turns. Better yet, the engine utilizes standard cylinder deactivation technology to guard your wallet at the pump, achieving an exceptional 31 MPG on the highway and 25 MPG in the city.Step inside the driver-centric Grand Touring sanctuary, and you are immediately welcomed into an acoustic-glass insulated luxury lounge lined with premium materials, soft-touch surfaces, and genuine stitching that punches well into the territory of expensive European imports. You are treated to luxurious, genuine leather-trimmed sport seating surfaces, featuring multi-level heated 8-way power front seats with 2-position driver's memory settings, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and dual-zone automatic climate control with rear ventilation ducts. Technology is entirely top-tier and highly seamless, anchored by a 7-inch MAZDA CONNECT color touchscreen display fully loaded with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to effortlessly mirror your smartphone's navigation maps and playlists via a central commander dial. The high-end cabin environment is beautifully completed by a custom-engineered 10-speaker Bose Premium Surround Sound Audio System with Centerpoint 2 and AudioPilot 2, a proximity smart key with push-button ignition, and a convenient power liftgate that opens to reveal a versatile 59.6 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity.Safety is an uncompromised foundational cornerstone of Mazda's engineering architecture, with the 2019 CX-5 earning a flawless 5-Star NHTSA Overall Safety Rating and the highly coveted IIHS Top Safety Pick+ designation.
