2024 Mazda CX-5 SPORT DESIGN AWD

The 2024 Mazda CX-5 Sport Design is the dedicated athletic, high-performance trim in the Canadian CX-5 lineup. Positioned just below the ultra-luxury Signature, it balances premium, near-luxury technology with an aggressive, blacked-out aesthetic and a potent turbocharged engine.

A detailed breakdown of everything included on the Sport Design trim follows:

1. Powertrain & Performance

The Sport Design comes standard with Mazda's top-tier powertrain, offering a highly responsive, driver-centric experience:

• Engine: Skyactiv-G 2.5L Dynamic Pressure Turbo 4-cylinder.

• Power Output:

  • $256\text{ hp}$ and $320\text{ lb-ft}$ of torque on 93-octane premium fuel.

  • $227\text{ hp}$ and $310\text{ lb-ft}$ of torque on 87-octane regular fuel.

• Drivetrain: i-Activ All-Wheel Drive (AWD) paired with a 6-speed Skyactiv-Drive automatic transmission.

• Performance Extras:

  • Paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel.

  • Mi-Drive (Mazda Intelligent Drive Select): Features Normal, Sport, and Dedicated Off-Road driving modes.

  • Increased diameter exhaust outlets (larger tailpipes for a deeper visual and auditory presence).

2. Exterior Styling (The "Blacked-Out" Look)

The Sport Design trades classic bright chrome trim for high-gloss piano black accents:

• Front Grille: A unique Piano Black 3D mesh grille paired with a gloss black "Signature Wing" frame wrapping underneath the headlights.

• Body Cladding: The lower front and rear bumpers, side rocker panels, and wheel arches are finished in high-gloss Brilliant Black rather than raw plastic or body-matched paint.

• Wheels: Exclusive 19-inch alloy wheels in a Metallic Black finish wrapped in 225/55R19 all-season tires.

• Mirrors: Power-folding, heated exterior mirrors finished in gloss Brilliant Black.

• Lighting: Premium LED headlights with signature daytime running lights and auto-leveling functionality.

3. Interior Comfort & Design

The sporty theme continues inside with premium materials and dark elements:

• Upholstery: Premium Black leather seats accented with red contrast stitching across the seams.

• Cabin Accents: Red stitching also highlights the leather-wrapped steering wheel, shift knob, center console armrest, and side knee pads.

• Interior Trim Panels: The dashboard and inner door panels feature a specialized decorative trim with a dark hexagonal geometric pattern.

• Headliner: A full black interior roof lining (black headliner) to give the cockpit a more enclosed, premium sports-car feel.

• Lighting Upgrades: Full LED conversion for interior map lights, overhead console, cargo area, and vanity mirrors.

4. Technology & Audio

Because it builds on the luxurious GT trim, it receives a comprehensive tech suite:

• Infotainment: A 10.25-inch full-color center display operated via the HMI Commander switch.

• Connectivity: Wireless Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, alongside a wireless phone charger (Qi) and embedded off-road navigation.
