The 2023 Mazda CX-5 has recently been updated and offers an impressive range of features at an affordable price. The only thing missing is a large entertainment screen. Luckily, Gotech GT Mazda has the perfect solution.
The popular Mazda CX-5 crossover has recently undergone a facelift for the 2023 model year, with some minor updates. This model has been well-received by Vietnamese consumers and has maintained strong sales figures. With its attractive price and new features, the CX-5 2023 confidently competes against rivals such as the CR-V, Tucson, Territory, and Corolla Cross.
The 2023 Mazda CX-5 has received a modern and elegant exterior design update, especially for its main lighting system. The grille, front bumper, wheels, and side panels have also undergone some minor changes, varying depending on the specific version.
Overall, the Mazda CX-5’s exterior design has become even more attractive and modern, in line with the brand’s aesthetic philosophy. Now, let’s take a look at the interior.
The interior of the Mazda CX-5 offers a luxurious and premium feel compared to other models in its price range. Every surface is covered in leather, wood-like accents, metal, or soft plastic, providing a visually pleasing and comfortable experience.
In terms of space, the Mazda CX-5 can comfortably accommodate a family of five (four adults and one child). It also offers a comprehensive range of equipment, including ADAS safety features, blind-spot warning, power seats with memory and cooling functions for the front, and heating for both rows of seats. Other features include paddle shifters behind the steering wheel and a heads-up display (HUD).
However, some users might be concerned about the 8-inch entertainment screen equipped in all CX-5 2023 models by Thaco, the Mazda distributor in Vietnam. In comparison, other markets have received an increased screen size of 10.23 inches – on par with competitors in the segment.
That’s where Gotech GT Mazda steps in. The most appealing feature of their product is the glossy black piano finish 10.25-inch screen, perfectly fitted in the center of the dashboard.
Gotech is also the only supplier on the market that allows parallel operation of two operating systems on the upgraded screen. This includes the original Mazda Connect operating system and the Android operating system, enabling extended entertainment features.
Since it retains the original operating system, the Gotech GT Mazda screen is fully compatible with the car’s original 360-degree camera system without any modifications. Additionally, the upgrade process utilizes the original connectors, requiring no additional modifications or interference with the car’s electrical system. Reverting back to the original screen is also effortless.
Gotech GT Mazda is the ideal solution for customers who prefer to use original equipment but seek additional features beyond what the manufacturers offer. Alongside basic applications like navigation, which supports three different map options, YouTube playback, and popular music streaming services, Gotech GT Mazda pioneers the introduction of the Gotech GPT voice assistant. This voice assistant utilizes advanced user support capabilities based on the renowned AI GPT technology.
For customers in management or creative industries, Gotech GPT serves as an incredibly useful and powerful tool that saves considerable time and effort. Additionally, the input commands and results are converted into audio format, ensuring safety and convenience while driving.
In terms of driving experience, Mazda has discontinued the 2.5L engine option for the CX-5. The 2023 Mazda CX-5 now exclusively comes with the default SkyActiv 2.0L engine, delivering 154 horsepower and 200 Nm of torque when combined with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Real-world experience demonstrates that the CX-5’s 2.0L engine offers adequate power, catering to users’ basic needs. In return, the CX-5 shines with its smooth and comfortable ride quality, as well as its impressive fuel efficiency.
In addition, Thaco has equipped the CX-5 2023 with a dual-layer glass system for the front windows and a 10-speaker Bose sound system. These additions enhance sound insulation and ensure a fantastic entertainment experience for users.
In conclusion, the 2023 Mazda CX-5 is an outstanding SUV with a beautiful design, luxurious interior, spaciousness, superior equipment, and a reliable, smooth, and comfortable driving experience. Its competitive pricing allows it to surpass many other rivals. The only aspect that could be improved is the screen, and Gotech GT Mazda’s solution creates an exceptionally desirable car in the sub 1-billion VND segment.
