With over a decade of satisfied owners behind the name, the sporty and reliable Mazda CX-5 has been a popular SUV crossover choice. The 2024 Mazda CX-5 carries on this legacy with a spiffy yet elegant cabin, vital safety features, and an affinity for the road. The CX-5 continues to be mentioned among top segment competitors, and it's easy to see why.

Functionality Meets Premium

If first impressions are everything, and you want bang for your interior layout buck, then a few moments behind the wheel of the CX-5 will not disappoint. An easy-access, expertly designed dash and classy interior flow with a concerto-like consistency. Heated front Leatherette seats, and wrapped leather elsewhere such as on the steering wheel and gear shifter are cozy and aesthetically pleasing features. 

The driver's seat has a powered 6-way system for custom comfort, and both front seats are heated.

The rear seat is a front-folding 40-20-40 split that can be manually adjusted to suit occupants or needed cargo space. Among other options that can add to an existing upscale feel are Terracotta and Nappa leather upholstery, authentic real wood trim, and a power sliding-glass sunroof for star-gazing enthusiasts.

Elaborate Safety Features

Safety is an influential buying point, and the CX-5 boasts a five-star industry safety rating in front of everything else this long-standing crossover offers. An extensive driver-assist suite comes standard on all CX-5 entries, and some of the award-winning features include Electronic Stability Control (ESC), accident avoidance, rearview camera, blind-spot observation, dual-stage front airbags, lane assist, rain-sensing wipers, and automatic LED headlamps with auto high-beam technology.

For an even more secure experience, options include front and rear parking sensors, adaptive headlamps, traffic jam assist, and a surround-view camera system. Avoiding accidents and inevitable road issues is now commonplace thanks to advanced safety technology offered on our CX-5 models.

A Solid Driving Experience

The Mazda CX-5 line is known for exceptional driveability and sassy performance, and the status quo remains the same for the 2024 models. All CX-5s employ a 2.5-liter, direct-injection, inline 4-cylinder motor that produces 187 horsepower. An optional turbocharger raises the horsepower bar to 227 (a healthy 256 hp with premium fuel) and adds an element of excitement on the road compared to the standard power plant. The CX-5 line draws on the SKYACTIV 6-speed automatic transmission and i-ACTIV AWD.

Regardless of which CX-5 model you choose, this beloved Mazda crossover remains a fun-to-drive experience and is recommended by industry experts.

4 Safety Features of the 2024 Mazda CX-30

With its powerful performance, practical utility, and plush interior, the 2024 Mazda CX-30 is a subcompact SUV that has attracted plenty of positive attention. Mazda's dedication to safety has also earned the CX-30 a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and the IIHS awarded it top honors as a 2024 TOP SAFETY PICK+. Keep reading to find out about some of the features that make the CX-30 one of the safest vehicles in its class. more 1. Blind Spot Monitoring The CX-30 helps drivers make safer lane changes by using sensors to detect vehicles that are in or approaching your blind spot. A warning indicator light lets you know when a vehicle is detected. If you activate your turn signal in the direction of a detected vehicle, the warning light will flash, and you'll hear a warning sound letting you know that it may not be safe to change lanes. 2. i-Activ All-Wheel Drive Road conditions can change unexpectedly, so the CX-30's standard i-Activ All-Wheel Drive is constantly monitoring the road and shifting power to the wheels with the most traction.

Lane Departure Warning System When you're driving at about 40 mph or faster, the CX-30 can help you avoid danger by warning you if you're unintentionally drifting out of your lane. The Lane Departure Warning System uses a camera to detect lane markings and issues visible and audible alerts to get the driver's attention. If you don't correct course, the Lane-Keep Assist System can apply corrective steering to keep you safely in your original lane. 4. Smart Brake Support The CX-30 uses a camera and sensors to detect vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles, and motorcycles in the path ahead of your vehicle. If the system predicts the possibility of a collision, you'll receive audible and visible warnings so you can react to prevent a collision. If your response isn't quick enough, Smart Brake Support will automatically apply the brakes for you to prevent or reduce the impact of a potential forward collision.
