Fitment Notes

• Fits the second-generation Mazda CX-5 (KF platform) in all trim levels, engine configurations, and drivetrain options sold in the U.S. from the 2017 model year introduction through the 2025 model year
• All 2017-2021 models use the Skyactiv-G 2.5L naturally aspirated engine on most trims (187 hp); a turbocharged 2.5L Skyactiv-G engine (250 hp on 93-octane fuel) was introduced on the Grand Touring Reserve and Signature trims for the 2019 model year; both share the same KF platform body and window channel design
• A Skyactiv-D 2.2L turbodiesel engine was briefly offered on the Signature trim for the 2019 and 2020 model years only; it uses the same KF body and is fully compatible with this part
• For 2022, Mazda made i-Activ AWD standard across the entire CX-5 lineup and discontinued the FWD option; trim names were also reorganized to an S-based naming convention (2.5 S, 2.5 S Select, etc.)
• The 2023 model year brought revised front and rear exterior styling, minor suspension and powertrain tuning updates, and a reshuffle of trim content; the KF platform body and window channel architecture were unchanged, and fitment is confirmed through 2025
• FWD was available on the Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring trims from 2017 through 2021; the Grand Touring Reserve, Signature, and all Carbon Edition trims were AWD only; from 2022 onward all CX-5s are AWD
• Does NOT fit the first-generation Mazda CX-5 (KE platform, 2013-2016), which is a distinctly different body requiring a separate part number
• The 2025 CX-5 dropped the base 2.5 S trim and added the Carbon Turbo trim; all remaining trims retain the KF platform body and window channel geometry and remain fully supported

Features

• In-channel mount design installs seamlessly inside the window channel for a sleek, low-profile appearance with no exterior tape visible on the vehicle body
• Allows windows to be cracked open in rain, wind, or inclement weather while keeping water, road debris, and insects outside the cabin
• Continuously circulates fresh air through the cabin to eliminate stale odors from pets, smoke, spills, and everyday use
• Constructed from impact-modified, UV-resistant acrylic material that resists scratches, chips, and discoloration from prolonged sun exposure
• Attractive dark smoke finish integrates naturally with the CX-5's sculpted Kodo design language exterior across all trim levels from base Sport through the flagship Turbo Signature
• Car wash safe - the secure in-channel fit prevents deflectors from shifting or detaching during automated and hand washing
• No drilling, cutting, or special hardware required - complete no-drill installation using included 3M automotive-grade adhesive tape
• Custom-engineered to match the exact window channel contours of the 2017-2025 Mazda CX-5 for a precision factory-quality fit
• Reduces interior wind noise and sun glare when windows are cracked at highway speeds
• Helps reduce interior cabin heat build-up when parked by allowing ventilation with windows partially open
• Backed by AVS's Limited Lifetime Warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for the original vehicle owner

Product Description

The AVS 194702 In-Channel Ventvisor Deflectors are precision-engineered for the second-generation Mazda CX-5 (KF platform, 2017-2025), providing a custom-fit ventilation and weather protection solution for one of the most critically acclaimed compact SUVs on the market. These deflectors mount directly inside the window channel for a factory-flush, low-profile appearance with no exterior tape or hardware visible - a fitting complement to the CX-5's distinctive Kodo design language and premium-level exterior finish. The dark smoke acrylic integrates seamlessly with the CX-5's styling across all trim levels, from the entry-level Sport to the turbocharged Signature and Carbon Edition models, without interfering with door glass or trim moldings.

Installation requires no drilling or special tools. The deflectors secure inside the window channels using the included 3M automotive-grade double-sided adhesive tape, and the windows should remain in the up position for 72 hours after installation to allow the adhesive to cure fully. Once set, all four door windows can be cracked open in any weather condition, enabling fresh air to circulate through the cabin while keeping rain, road spray, and insects outside. The entire KF-platform CX-5 lineup - whether powered by the naturally aspirated 2.5L Skyactiv-G, the turbocharged 2.5L Skyactiv-G, or the diesel 2.2L Skyactiv-D offered briefly on the 2019-2020 Signature - shares the same body and window channel geometry, making this a universal fit across all nine model years and all powertrain configurations in the range.

Buyers should note that this part is for the second-generation CX-5 (KF platform, 2017-2025) only and does not fit the first-generation CX-5 (KE platform, 2013-2016), which used a different body requiring a separate part number. The 2022 model year brought the most significant lineup restructuring, making i-Activ AWD standard across all trims and discontinuing the FWD option, while the 2023 refresh updated front and rear styling - neither change affected the door or window channel geometry, and fitment is confirmed for all years through 2025. Built from UV-stable, impact-modified acrylic, these deflectors are engineered to maintain their dark smoke finish and structural integrity through years of daily use and car washing. AVS backs this set with a Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing and material defects, valid for the original retail purchaser on the original vehicle of installation.
