Mazda has announced an updated Mazda CX-5, which includes suspension revisions, a new range-topping GT Sport Nav+ trim, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard.
On sale in February, the mild revisions follow a facelift in summer 2018 that saw added standard safety equipment, the introduction of a petrol automatic model and a power increase for the 2.2-litre Skyactiv-D diesel engine.
This update has no changes to the design or engine line-up, but instead focuses on minor technology updates including the aforementioned Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as a revised climate control panel.
There are also subtle tweaks to the CX-5’s suspension set-up, intended to “further refine the CX-5’s well-regarded balance of agile handling and comfortable ride quality”, according to the car maker.
The CX-5 features a thicker front anti-roll bar, smaller rear anti-roll bar and revised front stabiliser bushings, as well as an updated version of Mazda’s G-Vectoring Control system, GVC Plus, which now has direct yaw control, promising to boost stability at speed.
The addition of the range-topping GT Sport Nav+ trim to the CX-5 line-up is in reaction to the popularity of the current top-of-the-range Sport Nav+ trim.

Range topping trim - fake wood, a different light bulb and a badge? Jeez. Rather than renaming it GT Sport, they should have called it the HE Sport (Halfords Edition).
I’m pretty sure the wood is
I’m pretty sure the wood is real. More significantly though, would be nice if Mazda could team the petrol with 4WD and auto transmission for UK buyers.
