When you’re looking to buy new Mazda SUVs, you already know the basic things to look for: the body style, seating configuration, engine, powertrain, and the like. But what are some other features of Mazda SUVs that you may not be aware of? Here are some surprising perks offered by new vehicles at Scott Mazda.
1. MAZDA Connected Services™
Most new Mazda vehicles come standard with the automaker’s proprietary connectivity service, Mazda Connected Services™. These services go far beyond simple Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ capabilities; they offer access to remote vehicle functions through your smartphone. You can even subscribe to a Wi-Fi® hotspot available exclusively through your car.
2. Full Suite of Safety Features
When you buy a new Mazda SUV, you don’t have to spring for a higher trim level for extra safety features. Most models come standard with a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance technology. Some of the key standard features include:
- Automated emergency braking
- Pedestrian detection
- Lane-departure warning
- Lane-keeping assist
- Adaptive cruise control
3. Mi-Drive®
Many manufacturers offer selectable drive modes, but as with every other aspect of their vehicles, Mazda implements this a bit differently. It provides a trio of Mi-Drive® settings — Normal, Sport, and Off-Road — each of which changes things like your transmission settings and throttle response without compromising the driving dynamics for which the Mazda brand is legendary.
4. Standard i-ACTIV® All-Wheel Drive
One big change for 2022 is that all Mazda SUVs will now be offered with standard i-Activ® all-wheel drive, no matter the trim level. Previously front-wheel drive was standard on most SUV models, so this is a significant improvement. Upgraded models include the following:
- Mazda CX-5
- Mazda CX-9
- Mazda CX-30
