2020 Mazda CX5

The 2020 Mazda CX-5 AWD (KF Generation) is a popular mid-size crossover SUV, widely praised for its upscale cabin materials, refined driving dynamics, and distinctive KODO design language. The 2020 model year introduced key updates, including improved NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) damping, refined off-road traction assist software, updated interior switchgear, and a larger 8.0-inch Mazda Connect display. Visually defined by its deep mesh front grille with a bold chrome wing outline, slim LED headlights, flowing body creases, dual exhaust outlets, and 17-inch to 19-inch Gley/Silver light-alloy wheels, trim grades range from the JDM 25S L Package and 25S Exclusive Mode to global Touring and Grand Touring specs. Under the bonnet, this variant is powered by Mazda's 2.5-liter (2,488cc) SKYACTIV-G inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine, delivering 190 PS (187 hp / 139 kW) and 252 Nm of torque. Power is routed through a smooth SKYACTIV-Drive 6-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode and Sport driving mode. It features Mazda’s i-ACTIV AWD system, an intelligent predictive all-wheel-drive system that monitors steering input, throttle position, and outdoor temperature to proactively distribute torque to the rear wheels before front-wheel slippage occurs. Combined with G-Vectoring Control Plus (GVC Plus) and Off-Road Traction Assist, the CX-5 delivers superior stability on both paved highways and unpaved terrain. Inside, the cabin features a driver-centric layout with leatherette or Nappa leather upholstery, an 8.0-inch central display screen controlled via the Commander dial, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 10-speaker Bose sound system (on high trims), dual-zone automatic climate control, power-adjustable heated front seats, and a power tailgate.
