4 Reasons to Choose the 2024 Mazda CX-5 for Your Next SUV

Excellent Driving Experience

The 2.5 L SKYACTIV-G inline-4 makes the CX-5 both fuel-efficient and satisfying to drive. Mazda ditches CVTs, letting drivers manage the engine’s 187 hp and 186 lb-ft of torque through an engaging 6-speed shiftable automatic. For better fuel efficiency, SKYACTIV technology facilitates tighter compression of air and fuel inside each cylinder before ignition, obtaining more energy from each drop of fuel. This translates to an excellent fuel economy of 23 mpg city, 29 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined.

While the standard powertrain provides great throttle response, Turbo trim levels offer a turbocharged version of the engine which produces 227 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. Choosing 93-octane at the pump will further boost the performance figures to 256 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque. In this configuration, the CX-5 achieves a 0 to 60 mph time of just 6.1 seconds.

Luxury at Entry Level

Without stretching the price into the luxury SUV range, the CX-5 base model provides several comfort and luxury features. Drivers will find a slip-free grip on the leather-wrapped steering wheel. Front-row passengers can sink into soft bucket seats with a 6-way power adjustment function for the driver, while rear passengers find excellent comfort in reclining seats with a folding center armrest. Additionally, the SUV comes with dual-zone climate control and rear ventilation ducts.

Large Infotainment Screen

Family trips are more memorable with the standard 10.3-inch infotainment screen, featuring wireless connectivity as well as USB mode. Connecting your smartphone via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto lets you interact with your favorite apps on the center touchscreen or play music on the 6-speaker system. Passengers who prefer traditional entertainment can enjoy news, podcasts, and comedy with a SiriusXM subscription. Additionally, the infotainment system features integrated navigation that uses a 3D gyroscope sensor for accurate positioning.

Full Driver-Assistance Suite

The CX-5’s driver assistance technology acts as a co-pilot, making driving stress-free with standard adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, braking assist, and self-leveling headlights. To traverse cities and highways more safely, the SUV offers emergency automatic braking, pre-collision and post-collision safety systems, lane departure warnings, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.
