2025 Mazda CX-5

The intro 2.5 S trim wears 17-inch gray alloy wheels, and as you climb the trim ladder, there are numerous enhancements. The 2.5 S Select adds some daily luxuries like dual-zone climate control and rear privacy glass. Step into the 2.5 S Preferred, and suddenly you're enjoying a power moonroof and liftgate. Then there’s the 2.5 S Carbon Edition, which goes bold with Polymetal Gray paint and red leather seats—perfect if you want your commute to turn heads. The Premium and Premium Plus trims crank up the prestige with 19-inch alloys, LED signature headlights, and an Active Driving Display that beams key info onto the windshield. And for those with an itch for more muscle, the 2.5 Turbo and 2.5 Turbo Signature trims bring it all home with performance and plushness.

Under the hood of the 2025 Mazda CX-5, two powertrains ensure that every drive is both responsive and efficient. The standard engine is a SKYACTIV®-G 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that delivers a robust 187 hp, enough for confident driving while balancing efficiency. For those seeking a higher level of performance, there is a SKYACTIV®-G 2.5L Dynamic Pressure Turbo engine available that can pump out 256 hp and 320 lbs.-ft. of torque.

Every model comes with i-Activ AWD®, which ideally adjusts power between the wheels. Whether it’s a slick backroad during a sudden downpour or a gravel path out to your favorite fishing spot, this system keeps you planted and poised. Mi-Drive lets you toggle between Normal, Sport, and Off-Road modes. G-Vectoring Control Plus helps with cornering and stability, quietly doing its job in the background. It’s the kind of technology you don’t have to think about—until you realize how much more fun you’re having behind the wheel.

Inside, the CX-5 materials feel premium across the board. Nappa leather. Layered wood trim. Heated seats for both rows. Ventilated fronts. It’s like Mazda looked at the NC climate and said, “We’ve got you covered.” The center stack is anchored by a 10.25-inch display that’s as functional as it is crisp. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come standard. An available Bose® 10-speaker system brings depth to your playlists.

Safety isn’t an afterthought here—it’s standard. The i-Activsense® suite has your back, front, and sides with features like Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Radar Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go. Adaptive headlights and available Smart Brake Support round out the tech, providing the kind of peace of mind that lets you focus on what makes the CX-5 so enjoyable to drive in the first place.
