Thanks to its sporty performance and high-end finishing, the Mazda CX-5 is a perennial favorite in the compact SUV segment. It surpasses competitors by seamlessly blending driver engagement with the premier comfort and space expected from an SUV.
For the 2025 model, Mazda continues the features motorists would expect from the CX-5 lineage, along with a series of updates and refinements to further enhance the overall CX-5 driving experience.
Exterior Design Enhancements
The CX-5 is renowned for its sleek, sporty exterior, making it stand out in the SUV crowd. The 2025 CX-5 boasts a subtle yet impactful exterior design that builds upon and refines the iconic image of this compact SUV.
The CX-5 is crafted with the driver in mind, both inside and out. The exterior design goes beyond aesthetics, enhancing the driving experience as well. The front fascia boasts a striking grille design incorporating a mesh pattern. The available 19-inch alloy wheels perfectly complement the silver accents that are part of the attention-grabbing exterior details of the vehicle.
The overall profile of the vehicle is streamlined yet muscular. Pronounced character lines along the side of the vehicle meet a sleek front and rear, with more subtle bumpers. These stunning touches also improve aerodynamic efficiency, helping provide better fuel economy and handling.
Mazda CX-5 Interior Upgrades
For the 2025 CX-5, Mazda has incorporated subtle improvements to the comfortable, sophisticated interior to elevate the driving experience. Finish is important to Mazda, with the highest-quality materials used in the cabin. Available genuine layered wood trim and Caturra Brown nappa leather-trimmed seats offer both comfort and style. The attention to detail is evident throughout, even down to the fine stitching on the seats and door panels, creating a luxurious ambiance.
Driver comfort is augmented by additional features available in the higher trims. Heated front seats with three-level adjustment and an eight-way power adjustable driver’s seat with two-position memory ensure the ultimate comfort behind the wheel.
Mazda CX-5 Technology and Infotainment
The 2025 CX-5 sets itself apart from its predecessor models by incorporating cutting-edge technology and connectivity. A 10.25-inch touch screen sits at the heart of the Mazda Connect infotainment system. Connect your smartphone, and enjoy its convenience via this touch-screen interface while viewing maps, playlists, contacts, and more on the road.
The intuitive navigation is retained, and the infotainment system is designed for easy and safe control, featuring dials and knobs that offer a more analog interface that some prefer. This interface works seamlessly with the center display, allowing the driver to navigate apps and console information safely without diverting attention away from the road.
All trim levels include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration for seamless smartphone connectivity. The 2025 CX-5 also comes with Mazda Connected Services, providing remote functions, such as vehicle location and door lock and unlock. It also provides a subscription-based Wi-Fi hotspot. Mazda Connected Services is complimentary for a year with new CX-5 purchases.
Performance and Efficiency
The 2025 CX-5 delivers the same thrilling driving experience motorists expect, along with refined performance and impressive fuel efficiency. All trim levels come with standard i-ACTIV AWD, Mazda’s proprietary AWD system that directs torque to the wheels with the most grip. This optimizes performance in all weather conditions.
The standard, naturally aspirated 2.5-liter, 16-valve, four-cylinder engine delivers ample power for everyday driving, generating a respectable 187 horsepower. For those wanting a bit more of a beast under the hood, the CX-5 also features a powerful available turbo engine, designed to invigorate the driving experience, adding an extra level of responsiveness to the already effortless handling.
Dynamic is the best word to describe the CX-5’s drive, enhanced by the available Mazda Intelligent Drive Select technology. This system optimizes vehicle responsiveness, providing several drive modes, including Sport, Off-Road, and Normal, giving a connected and intuitive drive in any conditions.
Safety and Driver Assistance
The 2025 CX-5 provides a secure, invigorating drive thanks to Mazda’s i-ACTIVSENSE safety features. Sophisticated and innovative technologies keep drivers, passengers, and pedestrians safe using alerts to avoid potential collisions.
i-ACTIVSENSE safety technologies include:
- Blind-spot monitoring.
- Rear cross-traffic alert.
- Mazda radar cruise control with stop and go.
- Adaptive front-lighting system.
- Smart brake support; forward and reverse.
- Lane departure warning system.
- Lane-keep assist.

- Parking sensors.
- 360-degree view monitor.

- Traffic sign recognition system.
The 2025 Mazda CX-5 has yet to undergo official crash tests by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Given its lineage and the strong safety record of the CX-5, it’s expected to perform extremely well in such assessments with its impressive safety and driver assistance technologies. For reference, the 2024 CX-5 received three five-star safety ratings from the NHTSA for various crash test criteria.
