Features

The Mazda5's standard features include automatic climate control, remote keyless entry, 17-inch alloy wheels, steering-wheel audio controls, a rear window washer/wiper, and power windows, locks and side mirrors.

The Touring trim level adds a rear spoiler and side sill extensions, fog lamps, LED taillights and a moonroof. It also adds leather to the steering wheel and replaces the single-CD player with a six-disc changer.

The Grand Touring trim has heated leather seats, Bluetooth hands-free cellular connectivity, xenon headlights and heated side mirrors, among other features. A navigation system is optional on this trim level, and dealers may offer a backseat video system.
