Default Confirming iactiv 2016 cx5

I'm upgrading from a 2010 Mazda 3 to a 2016 cx5. There is one I'm interested that is close by, how can I confirm the this Maxx sport model is the iactiv version and not the regular Maxx sport?

How can I tell the car actually is the I-ACTIV AWD version compared to a regular AWD version?
Is there an extra badge or feature that I can identify that exists on one but not on the other?

The answer seems to be the rear view mirror is electronic, the sensors above and the blind spot monitoring.
None of which exist in the pictures provided
Im looking to buy a used current model now
