2024 Mazda CX-5
Starting at: $30.675
Highs: Pretty cool for a crossover, refreshingly good to drive, most luxurious in a mostly basic segment.
Lows: Tight on legroom, competitors have more towing capacity, sacrifices space for style.
Verdict: Nobody asked it to, but there the CX-5 is, handling hairpins and cruising city streets with the spirit of a Miata.
Overview
Taking a look back at the Mazda CX-5's history is a good way to understand where it stands today. It's got as many Car and Driver 10Best awards as it does tires, but after seven years of one of our favorite crossovers, the CX-5 is due for a rejuvenation. It's still a better driver and far more luxurious than the train of competitors behind it, but the new kids on the block have quickly outshined its trophy cabinet. Under the hood is a 187-hp inline-four engine with standard all-wheel drive. The optional 256-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter is the powertrain to get, but thankfully Mazda has decided against the popular CVT and instead uses a traditional six-speed automatic transmission, which sweetens the CX-5 driving experience. While it gives up some space for the sake of style, sitting in a CX-5 is enough to convince you of its luxury. For space, we'd stick with the newer Honda CR-V or the slightly larger CX-50, but despite its age, the CX-5 still drives like it's out to prove something and for that reason, we think it's worthy of a place on our 2024 Editors' Choice list.
What's New for 2024?
Like it did for the CX-30 crossover and 3 sedan and hatchback, Mazda adds the Carbon Turbo trim level to the CX-5 for 2024. A CX-5 Carbon Turbo is easy to spot, as it wears brown Zircon Sand paint and black trim pieces including wheels and mirror caps. Carbon Turbo models come with the optional 256-hp turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four engine and all-wheel drive.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
The price of the 2024 Mazda CX-5 starts at $30.675 and goes up to $41.975 depending on the trim and options.
Select: $30,675
Preferred: $32,025
Carbon Edition: $33,325
Premium: $35,275
Premium Plus: $37,875
Carbon Turbo: $38,970
Turbo Premium: $39,175
Turbo Signature: $41,975
We think the Turbo Premium trim best exemplifies the CX-5. With the upgraded 256-hp turbocharged engine, its quickness better corresponds with its athletic handling. Its exterior is elegantly sporty with trim-specific gloss-black accents. Its interior mirrors that sportiness with red accents and stitching.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The CX-5's standard 187-hp four-cylinder engine has great throttle response when pulling away from stoplights or hustling around town, so it feels quicker than it actually is. It's at higher speeds, such as when trying to pass or merge onto the freeway, that it feels underpowered. The 256-hp turbocharged version we tested provided much quicker acceleration. Both engines pair with a snappy six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. You don't need to drive the CX-5 hard to enjoy it or to appreciate its excellence. Sure, its precise steering and composed cornering make for one helluva Sunday cruise. But it also soaks up rough roads without commotion and has the ride quality of crossovers that cost twice as much. This harmonious interplay of dynamics is unrivaled by its competitors. Pavement imperfections are isolated, road noise is minimal, and the damping is neither stiff nor floaty. At the same time, the Mazda comes alive on curvy roads. The electrically assisted steering provides satisfying responses. The Signature model we tested had a reassuring brake-pedal feel that operated without delay and without being too touchy when you apply the brakes.
