February 06 2025, Woodstock Mazda
The 2025 Mazda CX-5 has been a long-time favourite in the compact VUS segment, and this year, Mazda has introduced the highly anticipated CX-5 Hybrid, providing an alternative for drivers seeking improved fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance. With refined styling, an upscale interior, and new hybrid technology, the 2025 CX-5 lineup offers something for everyone.
Powertrain Options
For 2025, the Mazda CX-5 continues to offer the 2.5-litre Skyactiv-G engine, producing 191 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. For those looking for more power, the 2.5-litre turbocharged engine delivers up to 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque when using premium fuel. Both options are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and come standard with i-Activ all-wheel drive.
The big news for this year is the addition of the CX-5 Hybrid. This model combines a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine with an electric motor, delivering approximately 219 horsepower while significantly improving fuel efficiency. This hybrid powertrain offers a combined fuel consumption of around 6.2 L/100 km, making it one of the most efficient vehicles in its category.
Interior and Cargo Space
Mazda prioritizes comfort and quality, and the 2025 CX-5 reflects that with premium materials, soft-touch surfaces, and an ergonomic layout. Heated seats and a heated steering wheel come standard, with ventilated front seats and Nappa leather upholstery available on higher trims.
Cargo space remains generous, with up to 875 litres behind the second row and more than 1,680 litres with the seats folded down. The CX-5 Hybrid maintains similar dimensions, ensuring practicality isn't compromised.
Technology and Safety
All versions of the 2025 CX-5 come with an updated 10.25-inch Mazda Connect infotainment system, featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, built-in navigation, and an available 12-speaker Bose audio system.
Safety features include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and Mazda’s improved driver attention alert system. Higher trims also include a head-up display and 360-degree camera system.
Why Choose the CX-5 Hybrid?
The 2025 Mazda CX-5 Hybrid is an ideal choice for drivers seeking lower fuel costs while maintaining Mazda’s signature driving dynamics. It combines strong acceleration with exceptional efficiency, making it a great option for city commuters and long-distance travellers alike.
