Mazda is updating one of its best-selling models, the Mazda CX-5. Mazda will be replacing the front-wheel drive with all-wheel drive. The automaker will also be updating the styling of the compact SUV. Mazda has always been known for its aesthetic vehicles like the Mazda Vision Coupe. Although the automaker has been focused on bringing electric vehicles to consumers, it doesn’t mean it can’t provide its consumers with the latest technology and visuals. The 2022 Mazda CX-5 is the most recent vehicle to get a new look which isn’t surprising given its popularity. The addition of all-wheel drive will help improve traction and handling so consumers can better enjoy their driving experience.

Mazda will be replacing the front-wheel-drive system in the 2022 Mazda CX-5 with an all-wheel drive. This will also go for all future CX-5 models as they will come installed with Mazda’s i-Activ all-wheel-drive system. Mazda’s drive system makes use of either a 2.5L inline four-cylinder or a turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder. Both engines come with a six-speed automatic transmission however Mazda has stated that the gearbox will be more responsive. The newly updated 2022 Mazda CX-5 will grant owners better handling and traction which will improve the driving experience. Mazda will also be improving the CX-5’s suspension and frame. By making the frame more rigid the CX-5 will have reduced noise and vibrations which will make for a quieter cabin.
