Some automakers have various approaches when it comes to designing a compact crossover SUV. Mazda, however, appears laser-focused on delivering unparalleled style and exceptional driving dynamics, especially with the 2024 Mazda CX-5. Admiring this stunning vehicle gracing the streets of Oxnard, Venture, Camarillo, Port Hueneme, and Santa Paula is an experience. But that’s nothing compared to how you’ll feel once you take the wheel.
The 2024 Mazda CX-5 offers a broad selection of trim levels that appeal to many preferences and budget requirements. There’s a perfect match for most discerning drivers with eight distinctive trims available, ranging from the entry-level 2.5 S Select to the top-of-the-line 2.5 Turbo Signature. These trims encompass a broad spectrum of specifications and price ranges. The entire CX-5 lineup enhances its value-for-money proposition in 2024 with standard all-wheel drive, eliminating additional charges or needing the highest-priced trims to access this enhanced capability. The full lineup includes the 2.5 S Select, 2.5 S Preferred, 2.5 S Carbon Edition, 2.5 S Premium, 2.5 S Premium Plus, 2.5 Carbon Turbo, 2.5 Turbo Premium, and the range-topping 2.5 Turbo Signature.
Even before delving into the performance capabilities of the engine options, the foundation of the 2024 Mazda CX-5 ensures a truly gratifying driving experience across all versions. The exceptional handling keeps body roll to a minimum in bends and corners, while the precise steering establishes an unparalleled connection between the driver, the vehicle, and the road. The CX-5 delivers a level of engagement that many competitors in the segment fail to achieve.
Under the hood of every non-turbo CX-5 lies a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, generating an impressive 187 horsepower and 186 lb.-ft. of torque. Power gets seamlessly transmitted to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. For those seeking an extra power boost, the turbo models feature a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, elevating the horsepower to 227 and torque to 310 lb.-ft. Opting for 87 octane premium gas further enhances the engine’s output to 250 horsepower and 320 lb.-ft. of torque.
Even the most affordable 2024 Mazda CX-5 surpasses expectations, encompassing essential features and providing a remarkable blend of style and driving satisfaction. However, the 2.5 S Preferred trim stands out as exceptional value, boasting standard dual-zone climate control, a power-sliding glass moonroof, luxurious leather upholstery, heated front seats, an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with two-position memory, and a six-way power-adjustable front passenger’s seat.
One of the greatest compliments the 2024 CX-5 has received from some is how it can prove challenging to distinguish the turbo models from certain German and Japanese luxury rivals, which inevitably command a significantly higher price tag than the CX-5. Both turbo versions of the compact Mazda SUV offer heated and ventilated front seats, a convenient wireless phone charger, and an informative head-up display. Every model in the lineup features a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. And from the 2.5 Premium Plus trim and higher, the audio system is upgraded to a premium Bose ten-speaker surround sound setup with Centerpoint and AudioPilot.
The 2024 Mazda CX-5 stands out from its competitors with its unique and highly desirable combination of style, performance, and practicality. While other crossover SUVs may prioritize spaciousness with three rows of seats and ample cargo room, the CX-5 prioritizes an unmatched driving experience and distinctive design. If you’re looking for a vehicle that goes beyond the ordinary, it’s time to discover the excellence of the CX-5 for yourself with a test drive from Oxnard Mazda at 1601 Ventura Blvd, Oxnard, California.
