Which 2024 Mazda CX-5 Should I Buy?
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. Ordered by price from low to high, here are the versions of the 2024 Mazda CX-5 that you need to be aware of, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
1. 2024 Mazda CX-5 2.5 All-Wheel Drive
- Base Price: $29,300
- MPG Combined: 28
- Drive Type: All-wheel drive
- Engine: 2.5-liter inline-4
- Aspiration: Naturally aspirated
- Transmission: 6-speed automatic
- Horsepower: 187
- Torque: 186 lb-ft
- Weight: 3,710 lbs
- Length: 180.1 in
- Towing Capacity: 2,000 lbs
The base CX-5 offers competitive output from its 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, but it can feel overmatched when passing or merging at higher speeds. The turbo engine is our pick if you can swing it.
2. 2024 Mazda CX-5 2.5T All-Wheel Drive
- Base Price: $37,000
- MPG Combined: 24
- Drive Type: All-wheel drive
- Engine: 2.5-liter inline-4
- Aspiration: Turbocharged
- Transmission: 6-speed automatic
- Horsepower: 256
- Torque: 320 lb-ft
- 0-60: 6.2 sec
- Weight: 3,867 lbs
- Length: 180.1 in

The turbocharged engine gives the CX-5 a satisfying amount of power — and especially torque. It also pushes the base price toward $40k, though, which is getting into luxury SUV territory.
