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.
