Powerful Performance for Every Journey
Under the hood, the CX-5 GX comes equipped with Mazda's efficient Skyactiv-G 2.5-liter engine, generating 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque using regular 87 octane fuel. The quick-shifting six-speed automatic transmission with manual mode gives you smooth control on highways and city streets alike.

The standard Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) lets you choose between Normal, Off-Road, and Sport modes, giving your family the perfect driving dynamics for any situation.
Superior Safety for Peace of Mind
Your family's safety takes priority in the 2025 CX-5 with a comprehensive suite of i-Activsense safety features standard on all models. Eight airbags, Blind Spot Monitoring, Smart City Brake Support Front with Pedestrian Detection, and Lane Keep Assist work together to help prevent accidents. Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go makes highway driving less stressful, while Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Smart Brake Support Front add extra protection during everyday maneuvers.
Higher trims like the Signature model add even more safety technology, including Smart City Brake Support Rear, Driver Attention Alert, and a 360-view monitor with front and rear parking sensors. These features work together to create a protective bubble around your precious cargo.
Family-Friendly Comfort and Convenience
The CX-5's interior provides thoughtful amenities that make family life easier. Standard cloth seating with heated front seats keeps everyone comfortable during colder months. The 10.25" full-color center display with Mazda Connect infotainment system integrates with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing you to stay connected while keeping your eyes on the road.
Moving up to the GS trim adds dual-zone climate control, a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel, and rear occupant air-conditioning vents that keep backseat passengers comfortable. USB charging ports throughout the cabin ensure devices stay powered for those longer family road trips. The power rear liftgate on GS models and above makes loading groceries or sports equipment a breeze, especially with your hands full.

The Active Driving Display with Traffic Sign Recognition projects important information onto your windshield, letting you keep your eyes on the road while staying informed about speed limits and other traffic signs.
