Performance Specifications of the 2025 Mazda CX-5

How Does the 2025 Mazda CX-5 Perform?

Under the hood, you can choose between two powertrains. The SKYACTIV®-G 2.5-liter DOHC 4-cylinder engine brings 187 horsepower and 185 lb.-ft. of torque, an excellent match for your weekday commute or weekend errands around the island. With Cylinder Deactivation, the engine can shut off two cylinders during relaxed cruising to help save fuel, while i-Stop shuts the engine off at red lights and restarts it when you release the brake. If you want something with more punch, the SKYACTIV®-G 2.5-liter Dynamic Pressure Turbo engine takes things up a notch with 227 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque—ideal when you’re merging onto fast highways or passing slower traffic with confidence. Helping both engines perform at their best is an Advanced Direct Injection fuel system, VVT, and a chain-driven DOHC setup with four valves per cylinder. The result is responsive acceleration, impressive control, and efficient combustion. The coil-on-plug ignition, paired with platinum-tipped spark plugs, ensures precise and strong firing, even under heavy throttle. 

Mazda’s signature handling comes alive with SKYACTIV-Vehicle Dynamics with G-Vectoring Control Plus, which subtly adjusts engine torque as you steer to keep the SUV planted in curves. Pair this with i-ACTIV AWD®, and the CX-5 constantly reads road conditions—rain, sand, gravel, you name it—to send power where it’s needed. With Mi-Drive, you can choose Sport mode for energetic acceleration or Off-road mode when tackling uneven paths. The 6-speed SKYACTIV-Drive automatic transmission shifts crisply and offers a manual mode for more driver engagement. Braking confidence comes from 4-wheel disc brakes, ABS, EBD, and Brake Assist, all working together when you need firm stopping power—like coming down a hill or avoiding sudden obstacles. Suspension components include a MacPherson strut front setup and a multilink rear, giving the CX-5 a lively yet controlled feel. Steering stays sharp with EPAS and variable assist, making tight parking or highway cruising easy. With a towing capacity of 2,000 lbs., you can bring along a small trailer, a pair of jet skis, or camping gear for weekend getaways. And thanks to a 15.3-gallon fuel tank, you can cover plenty of ground before your next fill-up. 

Altogether, the 2025 Mazda CX-5 is built to move, react, and perform with confidence—no matter where San Juan roads take you. If you’re interested to learn more about the 2025 Mazda CX-5, you can visit us at Flagship Mazda today!
