Mazda launched the current generation CX-5 in 2016. Over the last decade, Mazda has given the CX-5 some updates, but Mazda’s biggest mover hasn’t seen a massive generational shift. Even though Mazda has stretched its second-gen CX-5’s underpinnings for almost a decade, it’s still Mazda’s anchor in the hotly contested compact crossover space. Without any major changeups for 2025, the CX-5’s powertrains shouldn’t be a huge surprise. Powering the CX-5 is either a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline-four or a turbocharged 2.5-liter I4. Both powertrains shuffle their respective ponies through a six-speed automatic transmission. On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren hops behind the wheel of the 2025 Mazda CX-5 and puts it through its paces. Wren takes you on a guided tour of the ’25 CX-5 and highlights some of his favorite features. Later, Wren takes you along for a live drive review. Adding to these segments, Wren chats with Autoweek’s Patrick Carone about the Mazda CX-5, the competitive set, and more. Closing the show, the pair breaks down what makes the 2025 Mazda CX-5 special.
