The 2019 Mazda CX-5 2.2 SKYACTIV-D GT Sport Nav+ is a premium SUV that showcases Mazda's commitment to blending sophisticated design, cutting-edge engineering, and driver-centric performance. As the range-topping trim in the CX-5 lineup for that year, the GT Sport Nav+ delivers a compelling package for buyers seeking luxury, practicality, and refinement in a mid-size SUV, underpinned by Mazda's distinct "Jinba Ittai" driving philosophy—harmonizing car and driver. Under the bonnet, the 2.2-litre SKYACTIV-D diesel engine produces 184 PS (approximately 181 bhp) and 445 Nm of torque. This powerplant provides strong, confident acceleration, making it suitable for motorway cruising, overtaking, and light towing duties. Mated to a smooth-shifting automatic transmission and equipped with Mazda's intelligent all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, the CX-5 delivers impressive grip and stability, especially in challenging weather or light off-road conditions. Fuel economy is another strong point, aided by the engine's efficiency and stop/start (s/s) technology—helping it meet Euro 6 emissions standards. On the road, the CX-5 distinguishes itself from competitors with sharp, responsive handling that's more reminiscent of a sporty hatchback than a conventional SUV. Mazda's G-Vectoring Control Plus system enhances cornering stability and ride comfort, offering a composed and engaging drive. The suspension strikes a fine balance between comfort and agility, easily soaking up imperfections without feeling disconnected or floaty. Visually, the CX-5's design is elegant and dynamic. Mazda's KODO – Soul of Motion design language is evident in the sculpted body lines, prominent grille, and sleek LED lighting elements. The GT Sport Nav+ trim adds 19-inch alloy wheels, a power tailgate, and a panoramic sunroof, elevating its road presence and desirability. Inside, the cabin continues the premium feel with a meticulous layout and high-quality materials. Real wood trim, soft-touch plastics, and leather upholstery combine to create a genuinely luxurious atmosphere. The front seats are heated and ventilated, with the driver enjoying 10-way electric adjustment and memory settings. Rear passengers also benefit from heated seats and generous legroom. Boot space is competitive at 506 litres, expanding significantly with the 40/20/40 split rear seats folded. Technology-wise, the CX-5 GT Sport Nav+ is generously equipped. A centrally-mounted 7-inch infotainment system (controlled via Mazda's intuitive rotary dial), integrated navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto ensure seamless connectivity. The premium Bose sound system offers rich audio quality, and a head-up display, 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, and adaptive LED headlights all add to the convenience and safety. Safety features are abundant and helped earn the CX-5 a 5-star Euro NCAP rating. Advanced driver aids include adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert.
