A Breakdown of the 2024 Mazda CX-5

The 2024 Mazda CX-5 is a compact SUV that compares favorably in the reasonably priced crossover segment alongside the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. It offers distinctive and tasteful interior and exterior designs, a generous list of standard features across all trim levels, superb driving characteristics without compromising comfort, and exceptional qualities while being a mature option in the compact segment.

So, What’s New for 2024? 

The Japanese automaker introduced a new Carbon Turbo package as a flagship option to liven up the crossover. The CX-5 reveals some unique performance-inspired trimmings for the turbocharged option. In addition, the Platinum Quartz and Zircon Sand Metallic are new to the color palette but solely for the Carbon Turbo trim. Furthermore, the 2.5 S also benefits from an improved combined EPA estimate.

Engine Specs 

Mazda presents the CX-5 with a choice of two 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engines: the Base S trim propels through the naturally aspirated and yields 187 horsepower and 185 pound-feet, while the top-end of the trim level features a turbocharger, which churns out 256 horsepower and 320 pound-feet. Both engines have all-wheel drive paired with six-speed automatic transmission as standard. The Japanese automaker claims that the naturally aspirated model will accelerate from 0-60 MPH in 8.4 seconds, while the turbocharged unit shaves the time to 6.5 seconds.

What’s Inside the Mazda CX-5? 

The Mazda CX-5’s interior is one of the crossover’s dominant areas, as it merges functionality with comfort and luxury. Although the base model features synthetic leather upholstery for the seats, the rest come with genuine hides. The smooth upholstery doesn’t end at the seats, stretching to equipment such as the steering wheel and gear selector across all variations. Furthermore, the leather upholstery is available in Black, Parchment, Red, or Terracotta, and the seductive Black Nappa leather is reserved for the flagship Turbo Signature trim.

The Mazda crossover reveals a contemporary interior design that hosts a chic multifunction steering wheel, smooth dashboard design with integrated air vents, analog instrument dials, as well as a focused center console with a conventional gated gear selector, electronic parking brake, and control hub for the floating 10.25-inch floating infotainment system. Cushioning on the seats provides a high level of comfort, and the front-row seats warm those fannies in no time. 

Safety Features 

The Mazda CX-5 comes packed with a plethora of advanced safety features. All crossover trims offer dynamic stability traction control, adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, lane departure, lane keep assist, and emergency intervention braking. The standard features provide an added layer of safety and enhance the overall driving experience, proving the crossover the ideal choice for those needing a secure and reliable compact SUV.

Even though the Mazda crossover is a mature competitor in the compact segment, competing against the likes of the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. The 2024 Mazda CX-5 differentiates itself by providing a premium crossover experience at an affordable price point. The drivetrain options are equally capable and enjoyable for everyday urban use, but for enthusiasts who frequently traverse highways and interstates, the turbocharged is an optimal choice. The turbocharged CX-5 delivers excellent value with its comprehensive list of safety, comfort, and convenience features across all trims.
