The 2022 Mazda CX-5 Sport Design is the "athlete" of the CX-5 family, introduced as part of the mid-cycle refresh to bridge the gap between the refined GT and the ultra-lux Signature trim. In Canada, the "Sport Design" nomenclature designates a model that focuses on aggressive aesthetics and turbocharged performance. Finished in the iconic Soul Red Crystal Metallic, this unit is visually distinguished by its "black-out" package, which replaces nearly all exterior chrome with high-gloss brilliant black finishes. For 2026 shoppers, this remains a highly sought-after model for its perfect balance of high-end features and the most engaging driving dynamics in the compact SUV segment.
