The 2025 Mazda CX-5 compact crossover will have a base price of $29,990 when it reaches U.S. dealerships later this summer, Mazda confirmed Tuesday in a press release.
The starting price is $685 lower than the 2024 model, which experienced a $2,600 price increase from 2023 due to the removal of the CX-5 S base trim from the lineup. The CX-5 S is back for 2025, but it hasn't completely undone that price hike. The destination fee is also $45 higher, at $1,420.
Apart from the return of the CX-5 S base model, Mazda made some equipment changes to individual trim levels and removed the S Premium grade. This leaves S Select, S Preferred, S Carbon Edition, S Premium Plus, Carbon Turbo, Turbo Premium, and Turbo Signature trim levels.
Unlike the 2025 Mazda CX-50, which features a new Toyota-sourced hybrid powertrain, the CX-5's powertrains carry over for the new model year. Standard equipment includes a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter inline-4 engine producing 187 hp and 186 lb-ft of torque, while an optional 2.5-liter turbo-4 generates 227 hp and 310 lb-ft (256 hp and 320 lb-ft with 93 octane fuel). Both engines come standard with all-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Fuel economy is expected to remain unchanged at a maximum of 28 mpg combined (26 mpg city, 30 mpg highway) for non-turbo models, which feature an engine stop/start system and cylinder deactivation.
Standard driver-assist features include blind-spot monitors, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and active lane control.
Standard convenience features include a 10.3-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, a four-speaker audio system, dual front USB-C ports, and reclining rear seats. Cloth upholstery is standard on the base CX-5 S.
The $31,320 S Select costs $645 more than the equivalent 2024 model, adding auto-leveling headlights, synthetic leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a power-adjustable driver's seat, 6-speaker audio, as well as vents and dual USB-A ports for rear-seat passengers.
The $32,670 S Preferred (also $645 more than 2024) adds a sunroof, power tailgate, leather upholstery, auto-dimming rearview mirrors, a power-adjustable front passenger seat, and a driver-side memory system.
The $34,020 S Carbon Edition ($495 more than last year's model) features styling enhancements such as a Polymetal Gray paint option, 19-inch black alloy wheels, and the option of black leather upholstery with red stitching or red leather. It also includes a 10-speaker audio system and adds wireless phone charging for 2025.
The $36,620 S Premium Plus costs $1,255 less than last year's model, but remains the highest trim level with the naturally aspirated engine. For 2025, it adds a surround-view camera system and front and rear parking sensors along with a drive-mode selector, cooled front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel and exterior mirrors, and built-in navigation.
All turbo models are priced the same as their 2024 counterparts minus this year's higher destination charge, meaning the Carbon Turbo starts at $38,420. It features terracotta leather upholstery with black synthetic suede inserts and terracotta stitching, and is available only in Zircon Sand Metallic and Rhodium White paint colors.
The Turbo Premium costs $39,220, adding traffic jam assist to the features from the S Premium Plus model.
The $42,020 Turbo Signature adds shiny exterior trim on the outside, with nappa leather and ambient lighting on the inside.
