While things are still pretty hot now, it won’t be long before evenings become much cooler, and before you know it, the cold weather will be here and we’ll be looking back at the summer with nostalgia. If you are already thinking about frosty days ahead and you’re shopping for a compact SUV, you may be wondering, “Does the Mazda CX-5 have a heated steering wheel?” Pearson Mazda has the answer, along with a look at a couple of other comfort features inside.
Yes, the MAZDA CX-5 Has a Heated Steering Wheel
The 2026 Mazda CX-5 does have a heated steering wheel. This comfort feature comes standard starting on the 2.5 S Preferred trim, and it stays standard on every trim above it. That means your hands stay warm on cold mornings without needing to bundle up before you even start driving.
Other Comfort Features Inside the MAZDA CX-5
Whichever 2026 Mazda CX-5 you choose, inside you’re going to get a sizable cabin with plenty of room for five people. The seats are supportive and comfortable, and every trim includes a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob.
Higher trims add even more comfort. The 2.5 S Select trim introduces a power-adjustable driver’s seat and heated front seats, while the 2.5 S Preferred trim adds power-adjustable seats for both front passengers and swaps in genuine leather upholstery. The top-of-the-line 2.5 S Premium Plus trim rounds out the lineup with ventilated front seats and heated rear seats, so every passenger stays comfortable no matter the season.
