What Makes the 2025 CX-5 Mazda's Most Value-Packed SUV?
March 31 2025,
The 2025 Mazda CX-5 has arrived at Scarboro Mazda with meaningful updates that enhance its already impressive value proposition. As Mazda's best-selling vehicle, the CX-5 continues to deliver a perfect balance of refined styling, engaging driving dynamics, and practical features. This year's model takes that formula further with additional standard features and thoughtful improvements across all trim levels.
With a starting MSRP of $32,550, the 2025 CX-5 offers exceptional value in the competitive compact SUV segment. Every model now includes standard all-wheel drive, giving you confidence in all road conditions without paying extra for this essential feature.
Standard Features That Exceed Expectations
The 2025 CX-5 stands out by including features as standard that remain optional on many competitors. Even the base GX trim comes remarkably well-equipped with a 10.25-inch full-colour centre display featuring the latest Mazda Connect infotainment system with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. The system's touchscreen functionality makes accessing your favourite apps intuitive and straightforward.
Comfort hasn't been overlooked, with heated front seats included on every model. You'll also appreciate conveniences like push-button start, automatic LED headlights with High Beam Control, and rain-sensing windshield wipers—all standard equipment that enhances your daily driving experience.
The comprehensive i-Activsense safety suite comes standard across all models, including Blind Spot Monitoring, Smart City Brake Support Front, Pedestrian Detection, Lane Keep Assist, Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. This advanced safety technology provides protection and peace of mind without requiring expensive option packages.
Connected Technology for Modern Drivers
Technology takes centre stage in the 2025 CX-5, with complimentary Mazda Connected Services included for the first two years of ownership. This feature allows you to monitor and control various vehicle functions remotely through the MyMazda app—check your fuel level, lock or unlock doors, or start your engine from your smartphone.
The CX-5 GS adds even more value with dual-zone automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel, and a 6-way power-adjustable driver's seat. Upgrade to the GS Comfort Package, and you'll gain wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, wireless phone charging, and a power sliding glass moonroof—features that enhance convenience and enjoyment on every drive.
Performance Options for Every Driver
The 2025 CX-5 offers two engine choices to match your driving preferences. The standard Skyactiv-G 2.5-litre engine delivers 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque—plenty of power for confident daily driving. The quick-shifting six-speed automatic transmission with manual mode provides responsive performance, while G-Vectoring Control Plus continuously monitors weight distribution and shifts power to the appropriate wheels for near-instant delivery.
For drivers seeking more excitement, the available turbocharged engine in Sport Design, Suna Edition, and Signature models produces up to 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque with premium fuel. This powerful option transforms the CX-5 into a genuinely engaging driving machine that still maintains excellent fuel efficiency.
Every CX-5 includes Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) with Normal, Off-Road, and Sport modes, allowing you to tailor the driving experience to different conditions with a simple switch—yet another feature that adds value to your ownership experience.
Premium Interiors Across All Trims
Inside the 2025 CX-5, you'll find materials and build quality that surpass expectations at this price point. Moving up the trim levels reveals increasingly premium materials—from leatherette in the GS to Nappa leather in the Signature model. The Suna Edition stands out with its unique terracotta upholstery with black suede inserts, offering a distinctive look unavailable elsewhere in the segment.
The thoughtful interior design focuses on driver comfort and ergonomics, with controls positioned for intuitive use and minimal distraction. The cabin remains noticeably quiet thanks to extensive sound insulation, creating a refined environment that makes every drive more enjoyable.
2025 Updates Enhance Value
For 2025, Mazda has added several features that further enhance the CX-5's value proposition. The GT trim now includes Cruising & Traffic Support technology—Mazda's most advanced form of active driving assistance, providing highway speed lane centering and adaptive cruise control for confident, hands-on driving.
The entire CX-5 lineup benefits from Mazda's attention to detail and commitment to driver satisfaction. From the premium Bose audio system available in upper trims to the genuine wood accents in the Signature model, the 2025 CX-5 continues to blur the line between mainstream and luxury vehicles.
The versatile cargo area accommodates your lifestyle needs with up to 1,687 litres of space with the rear seats folded. Practical features like the available power liftgate and remote fold-down rear seats make loading and organizing cargo simple and convenient.
The 2025 Mazda CX-5 delivers exceptional value through its combination of standard features, premium materials, engaging performance, and advanced technology. Its refinement and driving dynamics set it apart in a crowded segment, offering an ownership experience that feels more premium than its price suggests.
