After receiving a large update last year, the 2023 Mazda CX-5 is a carryover model. The CX-5 is joined by the CX-50 – a rugged compact SUV with a lot of the same components and the same platform as the CX-5. The CX-5 continues to be one of the sportier and most luxurious compact SUVs in the segment, as well as an enthusiast favorite.

Expert Rating
Unlike other websites and magazines, our ratings are not based solely on a singular road test, but rather a more encompassing batch of criteria: quality, safety, comfort, performance, fuel economy, reliability history and value. When comparing vehicles using our Rating System, it's important to note that the rating earned by each vehicle correlates only to the models within its class. For example, a compact car cannot be compared to a SUV—They are different vehicles altogether.
You can interpret our ratings in the following way:
5-Star: Outstanding vehicle. Only the most exceptional vehicles achieve this rating.
4-Star: Very Good vehicle. Very good and close to being the best vehicle in its class.
3-Star: Good vehicle. Decent, but not quite the best. Often affordable, but lacking key features found in vehicles of the same class.
2-Star: Below average vehicle. Not recommended, and lacking attributes a car buyer would come to expect for the price.
1-Star: Poor vehicle. Simply does not deserve to be on the road.

2023 Mazda CX-5 Overview

What's New
Choosing Your Mazda CX-5
Mazda offers the CX-5 in eight trims: 2.5 S, 2.5 S Select, 2.5 S Preferred, 2.5 S Carbon Edition, 2.5 Premium, 2.5 S Premium Plus, 2.5 Turbo, and 2.5 Turbo Signature. Pricing ranges from $27,975 to $40,925 (including destination).
Engine Choices
The CX-5 is available with two engines. Both are 2.5-liter four-cylinder engines, but one is turbocharged.
Every model comes with all-wheel drive (AWD) and a six-speed automatic transmission. To get the most out of the turbocharged engines, drivers will have to fill the SUV up with premium fuel. When running on regular gas, the CX-5 makes 227 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque.
The turbocharged engine is only found on two trims and the upgrade can cost over $10,000. That’s a lot of money, but the turbocharged CX-5 is one of the most powerful SUVs in the class and has quick acceleration.
Engine Type | Horsepower | Torque | Fuel Economy (Combined) |
2.5L 4-Cylinder | 187 hp | 186 lb-ft | 26 mpg |
2.5L Turbo 4-Cylinder | 256 hp | 320 lb-ft | 24 mpg |
Passenger and Cargo Capacity
The CX-5 is a compact SUV that can seat up to five people, though it has one of the smaller interiors in the segment. Cargo space is slightly below average with the CX-5 offering up to 30.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and up to 59.3 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded.
Safety Features
The CX-5 comes with a lengthy list of standard safety features. The base trim comes standard with automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, automatic high-beam assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control.
Mazda saves parking sensors, traffic sign recognition, reverse automatic emergency braking, traffic jam assist, a driver attention monitor, and a surround-view parking camera for the Turbo Signature trim.
Connectivity
The standard infotainment system in the CX-5 consists of a 10.25-inch display, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, two USB ports, a Wi-Fi hot spot, four audio speakers, a 4.6-inch multi-information display, and an HD Radio.
The S Select adds rear USB charging ports and a six-speaker audio system. The 2.5 S Premium trim gains a 10-speaker Bose audio system, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, and satellite radio. A head-up display becomes standard on the 2.5 S Premium Plus. The Turbo trim gains a wireless charging pad, while navigation is standard on the Turbo Signature.

2023 Mazda CX-5 2.5 Turbo – MSRP From $38,125
The 2.5 Turbo shares a lot of features with the S Premium Plus but adds a turbocharged engine.
2023 Mazda CX-5 2.5 Turbo Signature – MSRP From $40,925
The range-topping 2.5 Turbo Signature has body-colored wheel arches, Signature badges, a frameless auto-dimming rearview mirror, LED vanity mirrors, layered wood trim, a black cloth headliner, and Nappa leather upholstery.
Compare CX-5 Trims Side-By-Side
While choosing between eight different trims may seem daunting, it beats eight trims and optional features. We think the 2023 Mazda CX-5 Turbo is the best option, as it highlights the SUV’s athleticism and opulence. For drivers that aren’t interested in the extra performance, the S Preferred trim has plenty of upscale features while maintaining the CX-5’s sharp handling.
