Mazda CX-5 Overview
The Mazda CX-5 is a compact crossover developed by Mazda that features the KODO design language. It is now available in three variants, the Sport FWD, the Sport AWD, and the Turbo AWD models all of which now carry gasoline engines. With this change in variants, the Sport models now carry more standard features than ever before, while the Turbo model gets all the bells and whistles. As far as the engines go, the diesel motor has been dropped in favor of a 2.5-liter turbo gasoline engine instead, however, the 2.0-liter and the 2.5-liter naturally aspirated motors still remain as options for the Sport FWD and Sport AWD.
The CX-5’s interior exudes refinement, space, and comfort with quality materials and high-tech features. Aside from the standard leather seats and electronic dual-zone air-conditioners, the highlight of the CX-5’s interior is the MZD Connect. It works with a smartphone for a hands-free and voice-activated connectivity system to cloud-based apps, maps, social media, entertainment, SMS, and e-mail.
- Launch
-
The second generation of the CX-5 hit the Philippine market on November 15, 2016. It featured two engines to choose from: a 2.5-liter naturally-aspirated gasoline engine and a 2.2-liter turbo diesel engine. In 2019, Mazda Philippines relaunches a new gasoline-powered CX-5 for 2020 model year, which brings back the 2.0-liter, front-wheel-drive variants of the compact crossover. The revamped G-Vectoring Control Plus feature is now standard across the CX-5 range.
The interior comes with leather seats as standard for all variants in the lineup as well as dual-zone climate control. The CX-5 also comes with a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Mazda Connect. It is paired to a 10-speaker BOSE sound system available in the Sport and Sport Diesel variants. The rest of the lineup gets 6-speakers instead.
In 2022, Mazda Philippines would then remove the turbo-diesel option from the lineup and instead replace it with a 2.5-liter turbo gasoline engine from the CX-9. Aside from this, the Japanese automaker would also give the CX-5 a slight refresh by changing its front bumper, headlight design, grille, and taillights as well.
- Platform, Chassis and Powertrain
-
The Mazda CX-5 comes with a choice of three engines – 2.5-liter or 2.0-liter naturally-aspirated gasoline engines and a 2.2-liter turbo diesel engine. The 2.5-liter variant produces 187 hp and 252 Nm of torque, while the 2.0-liter makes 154 hp and 200 Nm torque. The sole diesel variant produces 187 hp and 450 Nm of torque. All engines are attached to just one transmission option, a SkyActiv-Drive 6-speed automatic with Sport mode.
The crossover rides on McPherson struts in the front and a multi-link beam in the rear. Stopping power comes from ventilated discs up front and solid disc brakes at the back.

-
Despite the vehicle’s size, the CX-5 feels quick and nimble. This is also partly thanks to the addition of Mazda’s G-vectoring system. The transmission isn't afraid to give you power when you need it the most, as it will downshift willingly.
A strong point of the CX-5 is its handling prowess. The heavy but quick and snappy steering translates into precise movements of the vehicle when tackling corners. The AWD system also helps with performance as the vehicle is able to rocket out of corners quickly. To add to its potent handling are the brakes, while they are assertive, they aren't grabby.
- Technology Features
-
The Mazda CX-5 features 7-inch infotainment with MZD Connect with MP3, Auxiliary input, USB, and Bluetooth which also has support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Something important to note is the wireless Apple CarPlay is available but only for the Turbo AWD model.
Paired to the head unit are steering wheel-mounted controls along with cruise control. The 7-inch head unit sends sound via a 10-speaker BOSE sound system for the Sport AWD and Turbo AWD variants. A heads-up display projected onto the windshield is also present but for the top-tier variants only. The turbo variant also finally gets access to ventilated seats as well as paddle shifters which were not available in the previous version. A wireless charging feature is also available for the crossover but this is only for the Turbo variant.
- Exterior
-
Like the rest of the Mazda lineup, the CX-5 features the KODO: Soul of Motion design language. The crossover features adaptive LED headlights for the Sport variants, while the Pro variant gets normal LED lighting. Auto on/off and leveling are standard across all variants, along with LED fog lamps. Rear combination stop lamps are standard on all CX-5 variants.
An electric sunroof is standard for the CX-5 Sport variants, while the Pro variant retains a normal roof. The side mirrors are color-keyed and are power-adjustable, as well as power folding with integrated turn signals. A power liftgate is present but is only available in the Sport Diesel as standard. The crossover rides on 19-inch alloy wheels wrapped with 225/55 tires for the Sport and Sport Diesel variants. The Pro variant only comes with 17-inch alloy wheels with 225/65 series tires.
Colors options for the CX-5 include Deep Crystal Blue, Machine Gray, Snowflake White Pearl, Sonic Silver, Zircon Sand, and Soul Red.
- Interior
-
The interior of the Mazda CX-5 remains the same, however, the Japanese automaker has changed the color of the leather for the seats to that of Deep Nappa Red and the vehicle now comes with ventilated seats at the front. Power seats are still available for the crossover but these are religated to the higher models.
For air-conditioning, the CX-5 has dual-zone climate control for the front and ventilation for the rear. The center armrest in the rear comes with two cupholders and two USB ports for charging. The rear seats are capable of reclining and folding in a 40/20/40 configuration. Trunk space starts at 800 liters and can be doubled once the second row is folded.
- Safety
-
The CX-5 features dual front airbags and side curtain airbags to protect the occupants of the vehicle. Standard passive safety features include ABS, EBD, and dynamic stability control. For active safety features, the crossover has i-Stop as standard for all variants. A blind-spot monitoring system is only available for the Sport variants. For its higher-end models Mazda has given the CX-5 access to better safety features such as Smart Brake Support, Smart City Brake Support, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, and driver attention alert.
Pros & Cons
What you will like about the CX-5 is its fuel efficiency. The crossover during our review period was able to get 9.1km/L in the city and 26.1km/L on the highway. Another thing you might like s the driving dynamics of the vehicle. It gets its outstanding driving dynamics thanks to its chassis as well as the G-vectoring system present in the vehicle. The vehicle also has exemplary build quality.
Things that you won't like about the crossover start with the extensive use of piano black plastics in the cabin. These kinds of plastics easily scratch and in the long run won't look as good. The price of the vehicle is something that you might not like as it reaches past the P2,000,000 mark.
- Great amount of power
- Impressive driving dynamics
- Great build quality
- Average fuel economy figures
- No adaptive cruise control
- Steep price
