An antidote for these acceleration ills is here in the form of Mazda’s bigger, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which occurs standard within the Touring and Grand Touring models for the 2014 model year. (The 2.0-liter keeps on on the Sport trim and, unlike the 2.5, which is obtainable just with a six-speed auto, could become specified with a six-speed manual.) Although bigger by half a liter, a latest mill bumps output by 29 horsepower and 35 lb-ft of torque. So endowed, our CX-5 cracked off a 7.6-second 0-to-60 time and knocked down the quarter in 15.8. Welcome improvements to make sure, but at the expense of a few mpg.
Our long-term 2013 CX-5 Touring AWD with the 2.0-liter and automatic has averaged a good 28 mpg in mixed driving, although the 2014 2.5-liter test car returned only 21 mpg. Full disclosure: Around 40 % with the mileage inside our 2.5-liter test car was built up in foot-to-the-floor, no-quarter-given driving with the backwoods of northern Michigan. More restraint with the accelerator could yield results nearer to the authorized EPA mixed quantity of 26 mpg. Both engines are rated to tow up to 2000 pounds, enough tugging power for personal watercraft and small cargo trailers.
Nevertheless the numbers only tell element of the story. Whereas the 155-hp, 2.0-liter CX-5 is a willing but weak companion, the 184-hp, 2.5-liter car is a bit of an instigator, cutting and running in traffic situations where the base car would best hold out for any wider opening. All the chassis goodness from the 2.0-liter CX-5 remains, along with the linear response and feedback in the electrically assisted steering are arguably best in class. This can be a well-balanced, cogently damped package that follows through on turn-in with the routine predictability on the Michael Bay summer blockbuster.
Even so the braking components are far from exotic-single-pot calipers all over, 11.7-inch vented front rotors and 11.9-inch solid rotors in back-Mazda has tuned the setup well, and our CX-5 2.5 stopped from 70 mph in 166 feet.
