Engine Options
The new CX-5 has two engine options to choose from. The standard 2.5-liter 4-cylinder SKYACTIV-G engine has great throttle response and can suit most drivers’ needs with its 187 horsepower and 166 pound-feet of torque. In case you desire more acceleration, you can opt for the turbocharged version found in the Grand Touring Reserve and Signature trims, which delivers up to 250 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque.
Drivetrain options
Both engines pair with a six-speed automatic transmission, but the turbo version can only be had with all-wheel drive, while the base engine comes standard with front-wheel drive and offers all-wheel drive as an option. The i-ACTIVE AWD helps predict when extra traction might be needed by monitoring factors like outside temperature, throttle input or steering patterns. Then it sends torque to the tires that can use it best.
Driving Dynamics
The CX-5 shines when it comes to driving enjoyment. Whether you decide to go on twisting roads or crowded streets, the standard G-Vectoring Control Plus system will help deliver precise steering and composed cornering. This technology adjusts power and shifts the vehicle weight to give the tires a better grip and increase responsiveness.
Fuel Economy
Few models in the segment offer better gas mileage than the CX-5. When equipped with the base engine and front-wheel drive, this SUV gets an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 25 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway. All-wheel drive drops both figures by 1 mpg. The turbocharged engine has a mileage rating of 22 and 27 mpg respectively.
