Seat Covers for Mazda CX-5 KF MAXX SPORT, TOURING, GT , AKERA 02/2017 - On Premium Elite Black

Mazda's KF CX-5 varies a good deal between grades, which is exactly why these Premium Elite black covers — front and rear, for Maxx Sport, Touring, GT and Akera from 02/2017 — deserve a grade check before ordering. Higher trims bring seat features the entry cars do not, and the supplier's notes on this listing do not line up with the title.

The grade list in the supplier's notes does not match

The title names KF-series grades: Maxx Sport, Touring, GT and Akera, from 02/2017. The description instead lists Ascent, Sport, SX and ZR, none of which are CX-5 grade names, and its fitment line reads simply Mazda CX-5 2017–2022 with no series code. We publish the title's grades because that is what this product is sold as, and the mismatch has gone back to the supplier. Check the badge and the compliance plate, and ask us if your car is a base Maxx.

Heated seats and the thing the supplier does not state

Where a KF has heated front seats — and upper grades often do — the element sits immediately beneath the trim. Anything laid over it changes how heat reaches the occupant and how quickly it escapes. On this the supplier says nothing at all: no temperature limit, no approval, no warning either way. If the heating function is fitted, put the question to the supplier before the covers go on.

What the airbag line leaves to you

Among the listed features is the phrase airbag compatible. It stops there: no tear seam is described, no seam specification given and no test cited, so that statement is the supplier's and not one we make or endorse. On this generation a seat-mounted airbag is marked by a tag stitched into the outer bolster. Find it, photograph it, and where a seat carries one, have an auto trimmer do the fitting and confirm the SRS warning light behaves normally.

Key features

• Jacquard fabric: a woven face chosen for wear rather than shine, which suits a car doing school runs and highway kilometres alike.
• Breathable knitted construction: the fabric passes air, so the seat does not turn clammy.
• Premium Plus pattern: jacquard carried through the backing and skirting rather than stopping at the cushion.
• Smart Guard: a supplier-applied treatment covering stains, water and sun.
• Foam-backed: high-density polyurethane for comfort and insulation without distorting the seat shape.

Before you fit these

• KF series only, 02/2017 onward, in the grades the title names. The supplier's grade list is wrong and has been reported.
• Check both front bolsters for an airbag tag before unpacking anything.
• Fitting around an airbag is a job for a qualified trimmer, with the car checked before it goes back on the road.
• Confirm the rear ISOFIX points, tether anchors and the split backrest all still work once fitted.

Confirm the grade, check the bolsters and settle the heated seat question, and the CX-5 has both rows in black. We can put the fitment query to the supplier for you.
