About the Mazda CX-5 (2024)

Independent spec and rating reference. No offers, no sales.

The CX-5 is a compact SUV on the KF generation that appeared in 2017 and has had several facelifts since, the last in 2024. This version runs on the Skyactiv-G petrol engine without hybrid or mild-hybrid support; WLTP consumption is about 7.4 l/100km (manufacturer figure) at 165 hp. That is relatively high compared with (mild-)hybrid competitors in the same segment.

In practice

WLTP consumption is 7.4 l/100km (manufacturer figure). In mixed traffic over a full year owners report mixed around 8.4 l/100km (owner forums, n≈18, not measured by us). The boot measures 510 l and the braked towing weight is 1,800 kg. The indicative list price rose from about 37,490 euro (reference date early 2024) to 38,990 euro now, a starting price, not an offer and not a forecast.

Points to note

The absence of hybridisation makes this version less economical than many rivals; work out the consumption against your own annual mileage and fuel price. The KF platform is mature, which is usually favourable for failure-proneness, but the interior and the infotainment are older than on more recent competitors. Check the current engine range and equipment levels at the official configurator; the offer per market differs.
