The Canadian 2021 Mazda CX-5 Lineup Now Has 10 Different Models

The model range for Mazda Canada's best-selling vehicle will become more expansive than ever heading into the 2021 model year. The CX-5 adds more safety technology for 2021 along with a pair of special editions and extra features across the lineup.

For 2021, the CX-5 lineup at Centennial Mazda includes two front-wheel-drive variants (CX-5 GX and CX-5 GS) at $28,500 and $31,600. Then there are 10 distinct CX-5s with i-Activ all-wheel drive: the GX and GS optioned up with AWD (for a ridiculously affordable $1,500) and then eight upper-level CX-5s.

CX-5 GS with Comfort Package. CX-5 Kuro Edition. CX-5 GT. CX-5 GT Turbo. GX-5 Signature. And finally, the CX-5 100th Anniversary Edition. 2021 MSRPs range from $34,600 for the CX-5 GS Comfort Package to $43,550 for the full-zoot Anniversary Edition.

Here are the highlights and differentiating aspects for each model, beginning with the entry-level CX-5 GX. "Entry-level" has rarely been such a misnomer – the GX is very, very nicely equipped.
