Weekday commutes, Saturday tournaments, and quick errands all go better in an SUV that drives well. The Mazda CX-5 hits that sweet spot for families near Westfield, Indiana, and at Ray Skillman Northeast Mazda, we’d love to help you find the version that suits your routine.
A 110.8-inch wheelbase provides back-seat passengers with room to relax on longer drives. Cargo space measures 30.7 cubic feet behind the second row and grows to 66.5 cubic feet with the 40/20/40 rear seat folded, so strollers, sports bags, and a big grocery haul all find a spot.
Under the hood, every trim uses a SKYACTIV-G 2.5 four-cylinder that makes 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Mazda’s i-ACTIV AWD system comes standard on the whole lineup, so you get extra grip on rain-slicked pavement and snowy side streets without paying for an upgrade. Mazda Intelligent Drive Select lets you switch between Normal, Sport, and Off-Road modes depending on the day.
Merging onto US-31 during the morning rush feels composed, and the EPA rates this setup at 24 mpg city and 30 mpg highway, or 26 mpg combined, with standard AWD. The CX-5 can also tow up to 1,500 pounds, which suits a small utility trailer or a lightweight kayak trailer.
A 12.9-inch touchscreen comes standard, running Mazda Connect with Google built-in for maps and voice help right on the dash. A trial period is included, and a subscription is required afterward. A 10.25-inch digital gauge display sits behind the wheel. The base 2.5 S supports wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the 2.5 S Select adds wireless connections plus a wireless charging pad, so your phone stays topped off.
Music lovers will want to look at the 2.5 S Premium, which brings a 12-speaker Bose sound system, an Active Driving Display that projects key info onto the windshield, and extra USB-C ports for rear passengers. At the top of the range, the 2.5 S Premium Plus swaps in a larger 15.6-inch center touchscreen and adds paddle shifters for a sportier feel.
Every CX-5 carries a long list of driver-assistance features at no extra cost. Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Smart Brake Support, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Vehicle Exit Warning all come standard, along with front and rear parking sensors. Those sensors are a welcome helper in a packed Grand Park lot on tournament weekend. The Premium Plus trim adds a 360° View Monitor and Cruising & Traffic Support for extra help in stop-and-go traffic.
Features build as you move through the trims. Dual-zone automatic climate control is standard, and the Select brings leatherette seats with microsuede inserts. The Preferred adds heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a power liftgate, a 10-way power driver’s seat with memory, and black aluminum roof rails, making it simple to carry bikes for an afternoon on the Monon Trail. Premium models round things out with leather, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and a power panoramic moonroof.
