An antidote of such acceleration ills has arrived by way of Mazda’s larger, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which occurs common in the Touring and Grand Touring models for the 2014 model year. (The 2.0-liter carries on inside the Sport trim and, unlike the 2.5, that is offered just with a six-speed auto, can still become specified having a six-speed manual.) Although bigger by half a liter, a recent 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 certain, but at the cost of several mpg.
Our long-term 2013 CX-5 Touring AWD with the 2.0-liter and automatic has averaged a great 28 mpg in mixed driving, although the 2014 2.5-liter test car returned only 21 mpg. Full disclosure: Around 40 percent on 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 using the accelerator could yield results nearer to the authorized EPA combined quantity of 26 mpg. Both engines are rated to tow nearly 2000 pounds, enough tugging power for personal watercraft and small cargo trailers.
But 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 little an instigator, cutting and running in traffic situations where the base car would best wait for any wider opening. All the chassis goodness from the 2.0-liter CX-5 remains, along with the linear response and feedback with the electrically assisted steering are arguably best in class. It is a well-balanced, cogently damped package that follows through on turn-in with the routine predictability of an Michael Bay summer blockbuster.
Even so the braking components are away from exotic-single-pot calipers around, 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.
