An antidote of such acceleration ills has arrived comprising Mazda’s larger, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, that comes typical on the Touring and Grand Touring models for the 2014 model year. (The 2.0-liter keeps on in the Sport trim and, unlike the 2.5, which is obtainable just with a six-speed auto, may still become specific having a six-speed manual.) Although bigger by half a liter, a latest mill bumps output by 29 horsepower and 35 lb-ft of torque. So lucky, our CX-5 cracked off a 7.6-second 0-to-60 time and knocked down the quarter in 15.8. Welcome improvements to be sure, but at the price of a few mpg.
Our long-term 2013 CX-5 Touring AWD with the 2.0-liter and automatic offers averaged a solid 28 mpg in mixed driving, although the 2014 2.5-liter test car returned only 21 mpg. Full disclosure: Approximately 40 % with the mileage in your 2.5-liter test car was built up in foot-to-the-floor, no-quarter-given driving through the backwoods of northern Michigan. More restraint in the accelerator could yield results nearer to the official EPA combined amount of 26 mpg. Both engines are rated to tow nearly 2000 pounds, sufficient tugging power for private watercraft and small cargo trailers.
Nevertheless the numbers only tell an element of the story. Whereas the 155-hp, 2.0-liter CX-5 is a willing but weak companion, the 184-hp, 2.5-liter car is a bit of an instigator, cutting and running in traffic situations when the base car would best wait for any wider opening. All the chassis goodness with the 2.0-liter CX-5 remains, along with the linear response and feedback through the electrically assisted steering are arguably finest in class. It is a well-balanced, cogently damped package that follows through on turn-in along with the routine predictability on the Michael Bay summer blockbuster.
Even though braking components are away from exotic-single-pot calipers throughout, 11.7-inch vented front rotors and 11.9-inch solid rotors in back-Mazda has tuned the setup well, and our CX-5 2.5 stopped from 70 mph in 166 feet.
