The Compact SUV Crafted for Drivers

Engine and Transmission2025 Mazda CX-5 | Vancouver, WA

In addition to producing a healthy 187 hp and 186 lb-ft of torque, the CX-5’s standard 2.5L Skyactiv-G inline-4 engine promises exceptional response that contributes to a spirited driving experience. An available turbocharged version of the motor is even more exciting, with its output of 256 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque enabling an impressive 0-to-60 time of just over six seconds.

Both powerplants are mated to an engaging 6-speed Skyactiv-Drive automatic transmission that offers steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters for more control. The transmission’s Sport mode kicks the fun factor up a notch by making the throttle more sensitive and immediate.


All-Wheel Drive System 

Every CX-5 is equipped with advanced i-Activ AWD. The system is remarkable for its use of more than two dozen sensors that considers everything from individual wheel speed and driver inputs to ambient temperature and g-forces being experienced. With the information gleaned from these sensors, i-Activ AWD makes hundreds of computations per second to determine how much torque to send to each wheel to prevent slippage.


Chassis

The CX-5 complements its robust powertrain with a highly refined chassis that uses components meant to enhance a feeling of oneness with the vehicle. It achieves outstanding stability in tight corners and over uneven surfaces by using a fully independent suspension featuring MacPherson front struts, rear multi-links, and stabilizer bars.

Changing direction feels effortless in any situation thanks to the CX-5’s electronic power steering with variable assist. Both the front and rear brakes measure at close to 12 inches and partner with an electronic brakeforce distribution system to quickly bring the vehicle to a stop while maintaining excellent controllability.


Passenger Cabin

Inside, the CX-5 is a capacious and elegant cabin that feels luxurious with its generous use of high-quality, soft-touch materials and long list of creature comforts. Almost every trim gets plush leatherette or leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, and heated front seats as standard features. Buyers may add ventilation for the front seats and heated rear seats, plus the Turbo Signature trim has genuine wood trim and Nappa leather.

The 10.25-inch infotainment display lets users access Bluetooth audio streaming and smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. A wireless charging station and powerful 10-speaker Bose premium audio system are available, as well.
