Mazda cx 5 2014 review5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() The sporty nature of Mazda vehicles shines throughout this CUV from the grippy all wheel drive system to the strong stopping power of the brakes. Handling is where the CX5 sets itself apart from all the other CUVs. A 6-speed manual gearbox is available on the lower GX trim however I think most people will opt for the automatic. Only the 6-speed Skyactiv-drive automatic transmission is available in this trim but it is a very smooth and responsive gearbox. Obviously this is not a “super CUV” and it won’t scare you with its acceleration but just like the Mazda3, this CX5 will be used primarily in the city where speeds usually don’t exceed 70km/h. This being a bigger vehicle than the 3 and roughly the same weight as the 6, it is surprisingly quick for a non V6 or non-turbocharged engine. A 2.0L 155hp engine is also available in the lower GX model for those who would like even more fuel savings. Performance – This mid-range model is powered by Mazda’s Skyactiv 2.5L inline-4 engine producing 184hp, exactly the same as the 2014 Mazda 3 and Mazda 6. So the question is how does the Skyactiv Mazda CX5 compare to the competition? In 2013, Mazda introduced the CX-5, replacing the Tribute, to try and gain a bigger share of the market. The CUV market has grown by leaps and bounds over the past decade with more and more auto manufacturers wanting a piece of the pie. ![]()
