6 Reasons Drivers Love the 2024 Mazda CX-5

Powerful Engine Options

Whether you need a commuter car or an adventure-ready ride, the CX-5 can deliver the power you need. In its base version, it comes with a 2.5L DOHC 4-cylinder engine that churns out 187 horsepower and delivers exceptional fuel economy. Those who need more power can find it in the 2.5 S Carbon Turbo and higher trim levels that come with a 277-hp turbo engine. Both engines pair with a 6-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode.

Standard All-Wheel Drive

Beyond claiming shifting control whenever you want, the CX-5 stands out thanks to the standard all-wheel drive. A Sport mode is standard on all trim levels, delivering the spirited handling we have come to expect from the automaker. The higher trims boast Mazda’s Mi-Drive intelligent drive select system with Sport and Off-Road modes for enhanced performance on all terrains and in all driving conditions.

Signature Styling

Inspired by Mazda’s Kodo philosophy, the CX-5 impresses with its superb exterior design. Fluid lines pair with distinctive design elements, such as a stylish honeycomb grille and exclusive badging. A selection of exterior colors makes it easy to customize the ride to your taste. Options include neutral hues as well as bold choices like Eternal Blue Mica or Soul Red Crystal Metallic.

Luxurious Interior Features

The CX-5’s interior design complements the exterior and delivers the comfort you and your family can expect from an everyday ride. Comfort-adjustable front seats offer exceptional back and lateral support. Rear passengers get ample legroom and headroom and a comfortable 40/20/40 split-fold bench that folds flat for an easy expansion of the cargo area. Letherette or leather-trimmed seats and a minimalist dashboard design add a luxurious feel.

Advanced Technology

Inside, the huge 10.25-inch center touchscreen becomes a focal point and brings connectivity and entertainment to your fingertips. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration is offered standard on all trim levels, enabling hands-free calling, texting, and app access. Steering wheel-mounted controls make it easy to manage the audio, phone, or cruise control without distractions, while Mazda Connected Services enable remote vehicle access.

Driver Assistance Features 

This crossover’s tech features don’t stop at infotainment. A wealth of driver-assistive technologies can help reduce fatigue during long rides and enhance safety. A highlight is the advanced smart city brake support with pedestrian detection that boosts safety when navigating busy city streets. Blind-spot monitoring and lane departure warning are other standard highlights. A dynamic stability control system enhances handling in challenging conditions.
