The new 10.25-inch Mazda Connect system is a big improvement over the 8.0-inch MZD Connect system found in lesser CX-5 models. If you want a breezier interior, the GT offers white upholstery. Red stitching details can also be found here. The sides of the centre console are finished in padded leatherette, which is a thoughtful touch. Subtle metal-look highlights, including around the air vents, shifter, and switchgear, help to break up the black-on-black trim. It’s almost European in execution, especially the rotary dial for the infotainment system – shades of BMW – and the smaller dial next to it for volume, reminiscent of an Audi. There are lovely knurled dials, elegant stitching details on the dash, doors and console, and soft-touch plastics on the top half of the dash and doors.
