The 2021 Mazda CX-5 GS is widely considered the "sweet spot" of the lineup, offering a significant jump in premium features over the base model without the luxury-tier price tag. While most CX-5s in Canada are equipped with AWD, this Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) version is a savvy choice for the dedicated Fraser Valley commuter. By shedding the weight and mechanical drag of an AWD system, this unit offers improved fuel efficiency and lower long-term maintenance costs—perfect for those who stick to the cleared main roads and prioritize savings at the pump.
