Mazda CX-5 PERFORMANCE SPECS
The Mazda CX-5 offers more than just a fuel-efficient performance. In fact, it also provides a composed ride and class-leading agility. The Skyactiv®-G 2.5L 4-cylinder engine is quite powerful as well, delivering 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. That gives you plenty of acceleration for city or highway driving.
Furthermore, the vehicle comes standard with front-wheel drive, but is available with i-Activ AWD®. This system will monitor road conditions to determine when all-wheel drive is needed. It will then distribute torque between the front and rear wheels to help prevent a loss of traction.
Drivers who want to increase their daily dose of rev can opt for the Grand Touring Reserve or Signature trim. Featuring a Skyactiv®-G 2.5L Dynamic Pressure Turbo engine, they’ll ensure you’ll have up to 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque on tap.
Whichever powertrain you choose, the result is a stable and powerful ride on any road, any time of the year.
SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY IN THE Mazda CX-5
There are many aspects of the Mazda CX-5 that contribute to its impressive performance. Perhaps the biggest contributor is the vehicle’s Skyactiv® Technology. It consists of the Skyactiv®-Body Ring Structure and Skyactiv® Chassis and is at the center of the Mazda driving experience. In fact, every aspect of the SUV—from the body construction to the engine technology—is engineered to maximize driving dynamics and efficiency.
For instance, there’s the Skyactiv®-G engine that features Cylinder Deactivation. Whether you’re maintaining speed on a flat road, traveling downhill, or at a complete stop, the system will shut down two of the engine’s four cylinders. The result is improved efficiency, making both you and your wallet happy.
There’s also Skyactiv®-Vehicle Dynamics with G-Vectoring Control Plus. This system will adjust power delivery and shift vehicle weight whenever you turn a corner. It’s done so subtly you won’t notice, but it will provide a smoother and less fatiguing drive.
Enjoy a standard 10.25-inch touchscreen display complemented by a 4-speaker audio system with automatic level control. Drivers looking for an amplified listening experience ought to consider going with the available Bose® 10-speaker surround sound system for more thump, groove, and overall enjoyment.
As part of the display, the driver and their passengers can enjoy seamless smartphone integration with both Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™. When connected, the display allows hands-free access to phone calls, texts, music, navigation, podcasts, audiobooks, and much more. Whatever you’re in the mood for, the Mazda CX-5 delivers.
I-ACTIVSENSE® SAFETY FEATURES
Ingenious technology isn’t merely reserved for under the hood. Thanks to a complex network of cameras and sensors, the Mazda CX-5 helps you stay out of harm’s way.

- Lane Departure Warning System
- Blind Spot Monitoring
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Advanced Smart City Brake Support with Pedestrian Detection
- Adaptive Front-Lighting System
A rearview camera is included standard in each Mazda CX-5 trim, a system which pairs nicely with the standard Rear Cross Traffic Alert as part of the Blind Spot Monitoring feature. This feature enables you to drive in reverse out of a parking spot easily—and with peace of mind.
Additionally, Lane-keep Assist is paired with the Lane Departure Warning System. Whether you’re in crowded or light traffic, stay confident, knowing the Mazda CX-5 will help ensure you’re driving at a safe distance, both within the lines and at a safe distance from the car ahead.
3 WAYS TO MAXIMIZE YOUR MAZDA CX-5 MILEAGE
While the Mazda CX-5 does everything possible to help limit your trips to the gas pump, there are a few things you can do to extend your SUV’s driving range, including:
LIMIT YOUR PAYLOAD
While the Mazda CX-5 supplies plenty of available passenger and cargo space, keeping your trunk free of heavy items can greatly decrease the overall burden placed on your vehicle’s powertrain.
SCHEDULE ROUTINE SERVICE
In order to keep your new investment running at peak efficiency, you should make a point to stay up to date with its regular maintenance schedule. This involves changing the oil and filter every 5,000 to 7,000 miles, making sure all fluids are topped off, and having items like the brakes inspected every few months.
INSPECT YOUR SUV’S TIRES
Properly inflated tires firmly grip the road, making it possible to confidently steer and brake. When tires are underinflated, it can result in added pressure on your vehicle’s engine to perform.
Every single drop in PSI can lower your gas mileage by as much as 0.2%—and that quickly starts to add up if ignored. That’s why we recommend inspecting your vehicle’s tires at least once per month and rotating them every 5,000 to 10,000 miles.
