If you're determined to land a 2021 Mazda CX-5 near Stroudsburg or East Stroudsburg, PA, you have to decide which trim is best for you. The Mazda CX-5 Touring vs. the Grand Touring comparison we've developed here at Ray Price Mazda will provide thorough insight into two of the most popular trim options in the Mazda CX-5 lineup!

Performance Is Identical  

There is plenty of overlap in the performance traits of the Mazda CX-5 Touring and the Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring. For example, the power outputs are identical, each measuring 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. Each trim can also be fitted with your choice of front-wheel drive or i-Activ AWD® with Off-road Traction Assist.

Even the fuel economies are the same. The top EPA-estimated efficiencies of the 2021 Mazda CX-5 Touring and the Grand Touring measure 25 city/31 highway MPG.¹

Finally, the transmission offering in both trims is a 6-speed automatic with Sport mode and manual shift capabilities.

The Interior Technologies Are Similar but Not Exact

Where you begin to see differences between the Mazda CX-5 Touring and the Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring are in the cabin. A perfect place to start is the screens along the dashboard and behind the steering wheel.

The touchscreen interface located above the center stack is a 10.25-inch unit in each trim. Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ integration are standard in both too. However, behind the steering wheel, the Touring offers a 4.6-inch Multi-Information Display, while the Grand Touring benefits from a 7-inch LCD Meter Display.

If you enjoy listening to music, moving to the Grand Touring, with its 10 speaker Bose® system, will result in a more enjoyable experience than what you can expect from the 6-speaker arrangement in the Touring trim.

Interior Styling and Textures Differ

 The Grand Touring is a couple of rungs up the trim ladder, so it's not surprising to see richer materials in the cabin, when compared to the Mazda CX-5 Touring.

The seats in the Grand Touring are leather trimmed, while the gear selector and the steering wheel are leather wrapped. The gear selector and the steering wheel of the Touring are also leather wrapped yet the seats are a leatherette material, with Lux Suede® inserts.

The Grand Touring also features an 8-way power adjustable driver's seat, with power lumbar support and 2-position memory. The driver's seat of the Touring comes with 6-way power adjustability and manual lumbar support.
