  • A different black front grille

  • Rear automatic braking (brakes if sensors detect an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)

Which CX-5 trim does Edmunds recommend?

We still think the 2.5 S Select is the one to get. One step up from the base trim, the Select adds upgraded seating, an improved climate control system, a better stereo, and dark-tinted rear window glass.
