The Mazda CX-5 has been in continuous production since 2012, evolving through three generations. Earlier models carry straightforward laminated windscreens, while from the 2017 generation (KF) onwards, acoustic laminated glass became standard across all trims, reducing cabin noise significantly.
From around 2015 onwards, many variants began featuring Mazda's i-ACTIVSENSE suite—a driver assistance system that includes a forward-facing windscreen camera for lane departure warning, lane keep assist, and forward collision mitigation. Models equipped with this camera require professional recalibration after windscreen replacement to ensure safety functions remain aligned.
Rain sensors and heated windscreens appear on higher-specification models from certain generation points, though fitment varies by year and trim.
