2022 Mazda CX-5: Significant improvements for the Mazda compact SUV

The 2022 Mazda CX-5 is a very impressive sport utility vehicle. It is one of the most fun vehicles you can buy in the segment and certainly has the versatility to meet your needs. For 2022, the CX-5 gets a series of improvements that started last year with improved infotainment options, more connected services, and a more premium interior. Moreover, the CX-5 gives you even more value with standard i-ACTIV all-wheel drive.


Last year Mazda added significant features to its Mazda CX-5. These include a new 10.25-in centre display, new exterior colours, new 19-inch wheels, and new standard safety features. Mazda will also be adding new connected features that allow owners to control various elements of their vehicles through their smartphones. These elements include features such as locking and unlocking the doors, starting the engine remotely and checking the health status of the vehicle.


The 2022 Mazda CX-5 builds upon this improvements with a new exterior design that is more refined than ever, and the addition of i-ACTIV all-wheel drive across the board. The CX-5 continues to be powered by a standard 2.5 L four-cylinder engine that offers 187 horsepower along with 186 pound-feet of torque. This makes the Mazda CX-5 one of the most powerful compact SUVs you can buy, but Mazda is just getting started.

There is also a very impressive 2.5 L turbocharged 4-cylinder that delivers 256 horsepower along with 320 pound-feet of torque. You can look, but you will not find a more powerful engine in this segment.


Perhaps the most impressive part of this engine is the fuel economy. Despite being the most powerful engine in the compact SUV segment, you will average less than 10.0 litres per 100 kilometres. As a matter of fact, the CX-5 is efficient in any version. You can even get cylinder deactivation technology, something you never see in this segment.


When you get behind the wheel and hit the road in your 2022 Mazda CX-5, you will be amazed at the performance but also the comfort and the refinement. This is an SUV that is just plain fun to drive in every situation. And there's plenty of cargo space as well with 875 L waiting for you in the trunk.
