Mazda CX-5
The popular CX-5 now features Mazda’s i-Activ all-wheel drive system as standard equipment on all models, plus a new drive mode selector adapting the vehicle to any condition. Whether naturally aspirated or turbocharged, the four-cylinder engines available with the CX-5 all rely on a six-speed automatic transmission that’s been revised for smooth acceleration. Other changes for 2022 include refreshed headlights and grille along with new wheel designs and more supportive seats.
