The layout feels smartphone-familiar, with a customizable home screen, so the features you rely on most sit front and center. It’s connectivity with less fuss, built to complement the CX-5’s quiet ride, agile handling, and standard i-Activ AWD competence when weather shifts over the Arkansas River Valley.
