Larger 8-inch screen in 2021 Mazda CX-5 option available, RM 1k

Bermaz Motor has introduced an option to the 2021 Mazda CX-5 with a larger 8-inch infotainment screen, on top of the standard 7-inch unit. The option costs RM 1,000.

Unlike the newer systems in the Mazda 3 and CX-30, the 8-inch infotainment screen still runs on an older generation MZD Connect system as in the smaller 7-inch screen. So the difference here is mainly the larger screen estate and reduced bezels.

Note that this is not the running change seen in other countries such as the US, where the Mazda CX-5 has been updated with a 10.25-inch screen that runs on the latest Mazda Connect system.
