Mazda cars, crossovers, and SUVs are known for their performance and the KODO design aesthetic that embraces sweeping lines that mimic the beauty of nature. The 2025 Mazda CX-5 incorporates that philosophy with flawless exterior design, impressive power, and luxury amenities in a convenient compact crossover SUV package.
Introducing the 2025 Mazda CX-5: Redefining the Compact SUV Experience
Power and Performance in a Small Package
The Mazda CX-5 is a subcompact crossover, but it incorporates a power plant that gives it plenty of pep and quickness. The standard engine in the CX-5 is the SKYACTIV-G 2.5-liter DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder with Advanced Direct Injection that generates 187 horsepower and 186 foot-pounds of torque. In higher trims, there’s an available SKYACTIV-G 2.5-liter Dynamic Pressure Turbo that generates 227 horsepower and 310 foot-pounds of torque.
Balanced Performance and Fuel Efficiency
Though the CX-5 is built for performance, it balances that trait with excellent fuel efficiency. The standard 2.5-liter SKYACTIV-G engine has an EPA fuel efficiency rating of 23 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway. With the more powerful Turbo edition engine available in higher trim levels, the city gas mileage rating is 22 MPG, while the highway fuel efficiency is rated at 27 MPG.
All-Purpose AWD Drivetrain
The Mazda CX-5 is built to handle most driving surfaces, no matter how wet, rugged, or rough the terrain may be. With a SKYACTIV-DRIVE 6-speed automatic transmission with Manual Shift and Sport Mode, the CX-5 puts its i-ACTIV AWD drivetrain to good use no matter where your adventures take you. There’s also 4-wheel independent suspension featuring McPherson struts and a stabilizer bar, so you can enjoy a smooth ride anywhere you roam.
KODO Design Traits
Every Mazda automobile is designed with the company’s fundamental KODO philosophy in mind, and that includes the CX-5. The KODO design aesthetic treats automotive engineering as an art that is focused on “the soul of motion.” It begins with visualizing a vehicle’s perfect form, then designers work on engineering to that desired goal. The KODO philosophy strives to create an emotional bond between the vehicle’s design and the driver.
Super Safety and Convenience Features
The CX-5 is designed for the perfect driving experience, and it includes enhanced safety and convenience features. Those features include an Anti-Lock Brake System with Electronic Brake Force Distribution and Brake Assist, Hill Launch Assist, Dynamic Stability Control with a Traction Control System, Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane Keep Assist, Mazda Radar Cruise Control, and a Lane Departure Warning System.
