2018 Mazda CX5

The 2018 Mazda CX-5 (KF series, second generation) is a compact crossover SUV defined by its driver-centric dynamics, premium cabin, and Mazda's "Kodo" design philosophy. Introduced as the second model year of the KF generation, the 2018 model added cylinder deactivation to its 2.5L naturally aspirated engine and expanded the availability of i-Activesense active safety features across more trim levels.Powertrains feature naturally aspirated 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter SKYACTIV-G petrol engines, alongside the high-torque 2.2-liter SKYACTIV-D twin-turbo diesel engine (popular in JDM and UK/European exports). Power is routed through a 6-speed SKYACTIV-Drive automatic transmission to either Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) or Mazda's predictive i-ACTIV All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system.
