The Mazda CX-5 has earned its reputation among Carmel, Indiana, drivers as one of the most engaging compact SUVs on the market, and at Ray Skillman Northeast Mazda, we’re proud to offer it to Indy-area drivers. With standard all-wheel drive, sharp styling, and a thoroughly redesigned interior, the CX-5 delivers on both daily practicality and the kind of driving feel Mazda has built its name on.
The latest redesign brings a longer, more substantial look paired with a roomier interior. Whether you spend most of your time running errands, commuting, or heading out of town for the weekend, this crossover is set up to keep up with you. Our team can walk you through every trim option so you can find the one that fits your driving routine and your budget.
Power comes from a 2.5-liter SKYACTIV-G four-cylinder engine producing 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. While the spec sheet reads straightforward, the way the CX-5 puts those numbers to use is what stands out. The steering feels precise, the throttle response is direct, and the suspension stays composed whether you’re cruising a stretch of open road or working through tight neighborhood turns.
Every trim includes i-Activ AWD as standard, which is unusual in this segment, and Mazda Intelligent Drive Select gives you Normal, Sport, and Off-Road modes to fine-tune the driving feel. Fuel economy comes in at an EPA-estimated 24 mpg city and 30 mpg highway, and the available 1,500-pound tow rating is enough for a small trailer or a pair of jet skis on a summer weekend.
The CX-5 dashboard has been thoughtfully reworked. A 12.9-inch Mazda Connect touchscreen sits at the center of every trim, with Google Built-in offering native navigation and a Gemini-powered voice assistant. Wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard from the base trim, and wireless smartphone integration is available starting on the 2.5 S Select. Try the Premium Plus, and you’ll get a larger 15.6-inch display, paddle shifters, and a 360-degree camera system.
A 10.25-inch digital meter display puts the most useful information right in front of you, and higher trims add an Active Driving Display projected onto the windshield. A Bose 12-speaker setup with SiriusXM 360L is available on the Premium and Premium Plus trims, turning the cabin into a quieter, more polished listening space on your daily commute.
Mazda packs a lot of safety equipment into every Mazda CX-5 for sale near Carmel, Indiana, as standard. Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Smart Brake Support, Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Keep Assist, and Driver Attention Alert all come built in. The Premium Plus trim adds a 360-Degree View Monitor, Driver Monitoring camera, and Cruising and Traffic Support for hands-on highway assistance.
The new design also brings real-world cabin improvements. A longer wheelbase means more rear-seat room, and the cargo area gains useful length and height for hauling weekend gear. Front seats are 8-way adjustable on the base trim and step up to 10-way power with memory at the Preferred level. Higher trims add heated and ventilated seats, leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, and ambient cabin lighting in seven colors.
