Overview

One glance at the bold exterior of the 2020 Mazda CX-5 is enough to know that it's been designed to balance driving pleasure and passenger comfort. This "refined toughness" is the beginning of a movement from Mazda to create driver-centric vehicles that operate in harmony with human sensibilities. 

Inside, the Mazda CX-5 has a whisper-quiet cabin, which translates to a more comfortable driving experience for all occupants. The new Mazda CX-5 is the first Mazda that features a two-step reclining rear seat for improved comfort and usability. Available rear seat heaters and new air conditioning vents mounted on the rear of the floor console add even more comfort. 

As for advanced tech features, the Multi-Information Display has a high-resolution liquid crystal display and an available Active Driving Display that projects information from the available navigation system on the windshield—and that’s just the beginning. The Mazda CX-5 is available in five trim levels starting at just $25,090.¹

The Perfect Ride for…

SUV drivers who don’t want to choose between a harmonious driving experience and versatility. The Mazda CX-5 delivers on all fronts, boasting the versatility and comfort of the larger Mazda CX-9 with a more compact profile that elevates its handling and responsiveness. Mazda also listened to what customers really want in an SUV, incorporating a premium interior and advanced features in an absolutely gorgeous package.

Drive & Handling

Available in a variety of packages, there's a version of the Mazda CX-5 for every driver. Expect to see 187 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque from the crossover's standard SKYACTIV®-G 2.5-liter DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder engine. The Mazda CX-5 with this powertrain gets an EPA-estimated 31 highway mpg and 25 city mpg on FWD models.²

The Mazda CX-5 is also available with i-ACTIV AWD® technology. This intelligent system predicts when all-wheel drive might be needed by monitoring factors such as outside temperature, throttle input, braking patterns, and more. The system then directs torque where it’s most needed to preemptively curb traction loss, all without missing a beat. Expect an estimated 30 highway mpg and 24 city mpg on AWD models.² 

The Grand Touring Reserve and Signature trims get a boost of power with a turbocharged Skyactiv-G 2.5. Thanks to the Dynamic Pressure Turbo, these trim levels can reach up to 250 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. This powertrain is mated to Mazda's all-wheel-drive drivetrain, the crossover gets an EPA-estimated 22 mpg city and 27 on the highway.³

SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS with G-Vectoring control comes standard on all 2020 Mazda CX-5 models. When cornering, the system adjusts power delivery and shifts weight for a smoother drive—no driver input needed.
