The S Preferred for $30,385 adds leather, power front seats, sunroof, and a power liftgate. The infotainment function is at the console with a dial and switches. The Sport for $27,125 comes with cloth seats having power adjustment for the driver, and a 10.3-inch screen that’s not a touchscreen, with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Made in Japan, the CX-5 comes as a Sport, S Select, S Preferred, Turbo or Turbo Signature for 2022. Standard safety equipment includes automatic emergency braking, active lane control, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot monitors. The safety scores are even better, with five overall stars from the NHTSA and a Top Safety Pick+ from the IIHS. The base CX-5 AWD comes in at a solid 24 mpg city, 30 highway, 26 combined as tested by the EPA. There are two engines, a 2.5-liter inline-4 making 187 horsepower, and a turbo-4 that makes 227 horsepower. The 6-speed automatic is more responsive. The chassis has been made stiffer, as has the suspension (struts in front and multi-link rear) with firmer dampers. The CX-5 was last redesigned five years ago, and for 2022 it gets a lot of changes, starting with a fresh face with new LED headlights, new alloy wheels, and a new tail. The well-equipped Mazda CX-5 compact crossover, with standard all-wheel drive, offers style and spirit in its curvy lines and good handling, as well as superb safety.
