What is a Grand Select CX-5?

[paris1]

It's been a while since I visited the Mazda web site and I must say it's not nearly as user friendly as it used to be! When looking at various trim levels on the CX-5, there doesn't appear to be any way to compare them feature for feature. I was surprised to see the addition of Grand Select, but short of scrutinizing the feature list of it and the Grand Touring, I have no way of knowing what the specific differences are. Can someone who has shopped the line recently please enlighten me?

Pretty sure it's a GT with a few less nanny safety features.

Interesting. I wonder if any dealers are stocking this trim level. My local dealer doesn't appear to be.

Not for me

I have this - sort of. It's a GT without the tech package.

(uhm) the base GT does come with forward collision warning with emergency braking (Smart Brake Support), adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams and lane departure warning with lane-keeping assist unlike this Grand Select

In years past all that was part of an optional tech package.

Fair enough

A lot's happened in 3-4 years!

Over here SCBS, BSM & Rear view mirror with auto dimming function was part of safety pack option on lower grades.

BSM was/is standard on all trims here. Which is good, visibility ain't great!

Indeed as it is here now as well

I find the blind spot on my '17 is worse than it was on my '13. The BSM seems to chirp even when the cars are further back in the lane next to you. That being said, the other day I put on my signal to change lanes, the BSM chirped at me, so I double checked again, and saw nothing there, so made the lane change anyway, then next thing I know I have some crack head in a s*** box car screaming at me that I almost killed her....so who knows, but now since then I've been checking the blind spot like 3-4 before I actually change lanes.

Probably made it more sensitive now to basically cover themselves (Mazda) in case something happens
