2022 Mazda CX-5

The 2022 Mazda CX-5 2.5 Turbo is a standout in the compact SUV segment, offering a premium feel and peppy performance at a competitive price. Key Specifications at a Glance Engine: 2.5L SKYACTIV-G Turbocharged 4-cylinder Horsepower/Torque: 256 hp & 320 lb-ft on 93-octane premium fuel / 227 hp & 310 lb-ft on regular 87-octane Transmission: 6-speed automatic Drivetrain: Standard i-ACTIV AWD (all-wheel drive) 0-60 mph: ~ 6.0 seconds (with premium fuel) Fuel Economy (AWD): 22 mpg city / 27 mpg highway / 24 mpg combined Top Trim: Signature (featuring Nappa leather, real wood trim, and a 360-degree camera) Detailed Breakdown 1. Performance & Driving Experience Powertrain: The turbo engine's star feature is its massive low-end torque. It pulls strongly from a standstill and feels effortless in daily driving, making merging and passing a breeze. The 6-speed automatic is smooth but sometimes hesitant to downshift compared to rivals with 8- or 9-speed gearboxes. Handling: Mazda's Jinba Ittai (rider and horse as one) philosophy shines. The steering is precise and communicative, and the chassis is tuned for a balanced, confident, and engaging drive. It's more composed and less tip-y than many SUVs. Ride Quality: Firm but sophisticated. It controls body motions well and absorbs bumps with a single, damped thump rather than constant jiggling. The cabin is notably quiet and well-insulated from road and wind noise. 2. Interior & Technology Luxury on a Budget: This is the CX-5's killer feature. Even mid-trims feel premium, but the top Signature trim is exceptional with its Caturra Brown Nappa leather, real Santos Rosewood trim, and soft-touch materials everywhere. Build quality is superb. Infotainment: The 10.25-inch wide-screen display is standard on Turbo trims. It's controlled via a rotary Commander knob on the center console. This system is less flashy than touchscreens but is intuitive, reduces fingerprints, and is safer to use while driving. Standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (wired). Space: The rear seat is adequate for adults but not class-leading. Cargo space (30.9 cu ft) is slightly less than key rivals like the Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4. This is the trade-off for its sleek exterior styling and driving dynamics. 3. Design & Styling Exterior: Sleek, elegant KODO Soul of Motion design. It looks more expensive than it is. Turbo models get subtle but distinguishing features like a black honeycomb grille, black exterior mirrors, and larger 19-inch wheels. Interior: Driver-centric, clean, and uncluttered. The focus is on high-quality materials and a sense of serenity. Clean carfax 1- Owner Mazda CX-5 For sale in West Chester, Ohio.
