The Mazda CX-5 is a Great Compact Crossover SUV

The original CX-5 brought the marketplace the Mazda’s KODO-Soul of Motion design and their SKYACTIV Technology.

The redesigned 2019 Signature takes a big leap with a redesigned, upscale interior, new trim, the upgraded turbocharged SKYACTIV-2.5T engine, and a revised chassis that features the latest technology with G-Vectoring Control Plus (GVC Plus).

Signature Design

The CX-5 Signature is sophisticated, yet simple in its elegance. There are new premium features included. Some of those are heated front and rear seats trimmed in Caturra Brown Nappa leather, a matching a steering wheel that is also wrapped in leather, and stylish wood trim. Ambient LED lighting and a frameless rearview mirror all add to the exceptional interior cabin experience.

Smart Technology

The 2019 CX-5 has several new technology features that improve on the vehicle’s comfort, entertainment, and safety. There is a 7-inch touchscreen display. Apple CarPlayTM and Android AutoTM entertainment systems are available. These smart technologies make it easier for driver and passengers to use Smartphone applications in a safer manner. These can be operated via the multi-function Commander knob, buttons, and voice commands.

Smooth & Powerful Drive

The signature level CX-5 models are available with Mazda’s turbocharged SKYACTIV-G 2.5T engine. This ramped up engine allows for 310 lb-ft of torque from just 2,000 RPM and 250 horsepower on 93-octane gasoline. The integrated Dynamic Pressure Turbo boosts the engine at a lower RPM to accelerate the exhaust gasses. As well, there is a secondary valve that can open up and operate at a higher RPM for increased airflow and an even higher horsepower. This all produces a smooth ride that compliments the way the driver accelerates.

Enhanced Stability

Along with a more powerful engine, the G-Vectoring Control Plus (GVC Plus) is standard on the CX-5 Signature AWD. What the GVC Plus does is improve steering response with detailed precision. It is capable of shifting the weight to the front tires whenever the driver turns the wheel, especially when driving in hazardous conditions or at higher speeds.

Safety Technology

i-ACTIVSENSE technology safety systems provide assistance, such as Smart City Brake Support and Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert. These are standard on the CX-5. The i-ACTIVSENSE package of safety features also includes available Adaptive Front-lighting System, High Beam Control, Hill Launch Assist, Lane Departure Warning, and Lane-Keep Assist.

The 2019 Mazda CX-5 Signature AWD is a smartly engineered SUV. It has all the comforts and technologies a family could want in an upscale interior environment.

I think this is a great car for both getting around town and taking us on longer road trips. It has room for 5 plus gear. You can take a closer look at the Mazda Newsroom.

First thing’s first, remove all distractions bef First thing’s first, remove all distractions before driving your car. I’ve partnered with @TxDOT to remind you that all distractions – whether texting, eating, grooming, having a conversation, etc. – can be dangerous. #ad   That is why my family and I are also taking the AT&T It Can Wait pledge at http://www.ItCanWait.com/ to never drive distracted. Will you join us?   #HeadsUpTexas #EndTheStreakTX #ItCanWait

As I get older and wiser as a dad of 5, I realize parenting is mostly about preparation. That is why I am proud to partner with @TxDOT on educating my daughters about distracted driving.    As a young guy, I found myself preparing to be a dad, or at least a good dad. Now I find myself preparing my children to be good people and safe drivers on the road. Jaci and I have been going over distracted driving prevention tips and having a little fun with the new web-based AR game – Dart Those Distractions. It helps promote safe driving in a fun way.   Check out the link in my bio to play. #HeadsUpTexas #EndTheStreakTX #ad
