Powerful, Efficient Engine Choices

According to Kelley Blue Book’s 2015 Mazda CX-5 review, “If you demand that your 5-passenger compact SUV looks great, gets good fuel economy, and delivers good value, then you should take the 2015 Mazda CX-5 for a test drive.” Customers will have the option to choose between two powertrains, both of which deliver the power and efficiency drivers desire.

  • 2.0L 4-Cylinder Engine Specifications: Standard for all 2015 Mazda CX-5 models, this powertrain is capable of 155 hp and 150 lb-ft of peak torque. When paired with the available 6-speed automatic transmission, this engine gets an impressive EPA-estimated 26 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway for front-wheel drive models.
  • 2.5L 4-Cylinder Engine Specifications: This powertrain is standard for the Touring and Grand Touring Mazda CX-5 trim leves. It offers slightly more performance, as it produces 184 hp and 185 lb-ft of torque for rapid acceleration. Best of all, front-wheel drive models get an EPA-estimated 25 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway when paired with the standard 6-speed automatic transmission.

Innovative Safety Features

In order to prevent potential occupant injury and damage to the vehicle, the 2015 Mazda CX-5 can come outfitted with the available Smart City Brake Support system. Using sensors located at the front of the vehicle, the new Mazda CX-5 can bring itself to a complete stop at heavy traffic speeds if an object or traffic is detected and a collision is imminent. The Mazda CX-5 was also awarded a 5-star safety rating, which is the highest overall safety rating that the government can give after extensive crash testing.
