A closer look at Mazda new models reveals a lineup built around how driving actually feels, not just how a spec sheet reads. That distinction shows up in the technology, the safety systems, and the design philosophy. Colonial Mazda in Danbury, CT is the place to see all of it up close.
Most all-wheel-drive systems react after traction is lost. i-Activ AWD® works differently: rather than waiting for a wheel to spin, the system continuously monitors vehicle dynamics data in real time and redistributes torque before slip occurs. Rain, light snow, and slick pavement become considerably more manageable without any input from you.
On Mazda models like the Mazda CX-5 and Mazda3 Sedan 2.5 Turbo, i-Activ AWD® comes standard.
The i-Activsense® driver assistance suite comes standard across a broad range of new Mazda models and covers more situations than a simple forward-collision alert. Smart Brake Support detects pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles ahead, while Lane-Keep Assist applies steering corrections when the vehicle drifts. Blind Spot Monitoring flags vehicles in adjacent lanes, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert watches for traffic when you're reversing.
Together, these systems reduce the margin for error on every trip.
High compression ratios, direct injection, and precise fuel delivery define what the SKYACTIV®-G engine family is built around. The naturally aspirated SKYACTIV®-G 2.5-liter four-cylinder produces 186-187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. Step up to the turbo variant and output climbs to 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque with recommended premium fuel, making Mazda models equally capable for daily commutes and spirited weekend driving.
Most drivers never notice G-Vectoring Control Plus® at work, and that's exactly the point. On corner entry, the system reduces engine torque slightly to shift weight forward and increase front-wheel grip. On exit, a subtle brake application to the outside front wheel pulls the car back to straight.
The result is more precise steering with less correction required from you and less fatigue on longer drives. It comes standard on all new Mazda models, including the Mazda CX-5, except the Mazda MX-5 Miata, with no additional hardware involved.
