22 January 2026 Versions Mazda CX‑5 : GX, GS, Kuro, GT, Suna, Signature

The Mazda CX-5 continues to stand out as one of the best compact SUVs on the Quebec market. Praised for its refined driving dynamics, proven reliability, and modern design, it appeals to both young families and experienced drivers looking for a versatile vehicle. But with so many trims available, how do you know which one is right for you? From the entry-level GX to the luxurious Signature, each Mazda CX-5 trim offers a distinctly different experience.

At Solution Mazda, your Mazda dealership on Montreal’s South Shore, we’ve created this comprehensive guide to help you understand the differences between the GX, GS, Kuro, GT, Sport Design, Suna, and Signature trims. Whether you’re still comparing options or ready to book a test drive, this article will help you choose the CX-5 that best fits your lifestyle.

Mazda CX-5 GX, GS and GT: well-balanced performance, safety and comfort

The Mazda CX-5 GX is the ideal trim for drivers who want to enter the Mazda lineup with a reliable, safe, and well-equipped vehicle—without stretching their budget. Standard features include i-Activ AWD, adaptive cruise control, smart brake support, and lane departure warning. Powered by a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine producing 187 horsepower, the CX-5 GX delivers smooth and confident driving in both city and highway conditions. The thoughtfully designed interior includes a 10.25-inch display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.

The Mazda CX-5 GS adds an extra layer of comfort that will appeal to families and drivers who spend more time on the road. Building on the GX’s features, the GS includes dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, keyless entry, and a power moonroof. Upholstery is upgraded to higher-quality fabric or leatherette, depending on options. This trim offers an excellent balance of value and comfort, making it a popular choice for buyers seeking more features without moving into luxury pricing.

The Mazda CX-5 GT represents a step up in sophistication. It comes equipped with a 10-speaker Bose® premium audio system, genuine leather seating, built-in navigation, and an enhanced driver interface. This is also the trim where you can opt for the 2.5L turbocharged engine, delivering up to 256 horsepower for drivers who want extra performance. The GT also features 19-inch alloy wheels, power-folding exterior mirrors, and a power liftgate. For those seeking a well-rounded SUV with premium features, style, and power, the GT is an excellent choice.

Mazda CX-5 Kuro and Sport Design: bold styling and turbo performance

The Mazda CX-5 Kuro and Sport Design trims are designed for drivers who want a compact SUV with a strong personality.

The CX-5 Kuro stands out with its distinctive black exterior accents, dark alloy wheels, and interior options featuring black or deep red leather, depending on the model year. Based on the GS trim, the Kuro adds a bold, sport-inspired look while maintaining a balanced level of technology and comfort. It’s ideal for drivers who want to stand out without sacrificing practicality.

The Mazda CX-5 Sport Design takes things further, both visually and mechanically. Equipped with the turbocharged engine as standard, this trim is built for driving enthusiasts. Its exterior features a gloss-black grille, exclusive trim elements, and sporty design details. Inside, black leather seats with contrast stitching emphasize its premium and athletic character. The Sport Design trim perfectly blends performance, comfort, and striking aesthetics.

These trims are ideal for drivers looking for character and performance without excess. You can view CX-5 Kuro and Sport Design models currently available in our new Mazda CX-5 inventory. If one catches your eye, we invite you to book a test drive through our online contact form.

Mazda CX-5 Suna and Signature: refinement at its finest

The Mazda CX-5 Suna, a newer addition to the lineup, introduces a calm and refined approach to driving. Featuring exclusive exterior finishes, unique color palettes, and an interior inspired by Japanese design philosophy, the Suna trim focuses on comfort and understated elegance. Premium materials, leather seating, and intuitive technology create a serene driving experience for those who value subtle distinction.

The Mazda CX-5 Signature represents the most luxurious trim in the lineup. It includes every available feature, such as a full-color head-up display, ventilated Nappa leather seats, genuine wood trim, and the most advanced i-Activsense safety technologies. This trim also delivers the quietest and most refined driving experience, thanks to its turbocharged engine, enhanced suspension tuning, and superior sound insulation.
