2020 Mazda CX5

The 2020 Mazda CX-5 (2.5L KF Generation) is a premium mid-size crossover SUV renowned for its upscale cabin craftsmanship, engaging driving dynamics, and sophisticated "Kodo: Soul of Motion" design language. Built on Mazda's high-rigidity SkyActiv-Vehicle Architecture, the 2020 model year introduced NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) refinements, standard G-Vectoring Control Plus (GVC Plus) for enhanced cornering stability, and updated infotainment software. Popular regional trim levels imported from Japan and international export markets include the 25S, Proactive, L Package, and the sporty Exclusive Mode / Signature grades. Under the bonnet, the 2.5-liter variant is powered by Mazda's punchy 2.5-liter (2,488cc) SkyActiv-G DOHC 16-valve inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated direct-injection petrol engine, producing 194 PS (191 hp / 143 kW) at 6,000 RPM and 258 Nm (190 lb-ft) of torque at 4,000 RPM. Power is channeled through a crisp-shifting SkyActiv-Drive 6-speed automatic manual-shift transmission to either Front-Wheel Drive (2WD/FWD) or Mazda's predictive i-Activ AWD (All-Wheel Drive) system, which continuously monitors road and weather conditions to preemptively distribute torque. Inside, the driver-focused cabin features soft-touch materials, aluminum or genuine wood trim accents, premium fabric, leather, or Nappa leather upholstery, a 7.0-inch or 8.0-inch Mazda Connect infotainment display controlled via the center console rotary Commander knob, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, dual-zone automatic climate control, a power sunroof, and a spacious cargo area with a 40/20/40 split-folding rear bench.
