2014 Mazda CX-5

Introducing a feat of engineering previously thought to be impossible: the crossover without compromise. Not only does the Mazda CX-5 offer confident driving, versatility, all-weather capability, spaciousness and advanced features, but it does so with the best Highway MPG of any SUV in America—including hybrids.† To make this possible we developed an engineering philosophy called SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY, including a new 2.5L SKYACTIV®-G gasoline engine, which reimagines every component to work together in unprecedented harmony.
Dramatic Styling
Experience the soul of motion, even at a stand still.
CX-5 inherits its fluent, flowing lines and bold curves from Mazda's signature KODO "soul of motion" design philosophy. The result is a striking stance and an illusion of constant motion, sure to turn heads even when it's sitting still. Yet its stylish sculpting is also highly functional. CX-5's aerodynamic curves and sloping roofline reduce wind turbulence and allow for the vehicle's weight to be distributed toward the rear axle for increased stability.
Smart & Stylish Features
CX-5 is packed with advanced features that adjust to your driving needs, such as available rain-sensing windshield wipers and heated side mirrors. Impressive 17- to 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels fitted with all-season tires add sophistication along with year-around practicality. The convenient rearview camera‡ lets you see directly behind your vehicle, including those lower blind spots where a bicycle or skateboard might be hiding.
Advanced Illumination
Standard halogen headlights brightly illuminate the path ahead, or choose the available Bi-Xenon High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights and halogen fog lights for brighter, sharper illumination in all conditions. With the available Adaptive Front-lighting System, the headlight beams automatically pivot in concert with the CX-5 based on vehicle speed and steering angle to improve visibility in dark corners.

5 Seats in Luxury
The Mazda CX-5 blends sophisticated details, like available double-stitched premium leather-trimmed seats and a power moonroof, and ample passenger and cargo volume to create a stylish all-purpose cabin.
Available Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry & Start System
Available 8-way power adjustable driver's seat
Available dual-zone automatic climate control and available three-level heated front seats
Up to 64.8 cubic feet of cargo space
60/40 split rear seating or available 40/20/40 dual split fold-down rear seating
Mazda Navigation
Mazda has partnered with TomTom, the industry leader in navigation systems, to bring you state-of-the-art navigation, so you'll always have the most efficient routes to your destinations. The available fully integrated in-dash system with a 5.8-inch full-color touch-screen display features intuitive voice recognition, so you can keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.udio & Entertainment
Crisp, immersive sound is delivered through an available 9-speaker Bose® Centerpoint® Surround Sound System with AudioPilot® noise compensation technology. Connect your iPod®** or other MP3 device with the standard USB audio input or auxiliary jack. For even more tunes on the go, Mazda CX-5 offers available HD Radio, Pandora® Internet radio connectivity and SiriusXM Satellite Radio.††
Bluetooth®‡‡ Phone & Audio Connectivity
With the available Bluetooth®‡‡ hands-free system with voice command, making and receiving calls is as easy as pushing a button and saying hello. You can also stream music wirelessly using the convenient steering-wheel mounted controls.
Uncompromised Performance
Squeeze more energy from every drop of fuel with Mazda's SKYACTIV®-G 2.0L gasoline engine. It produces 155 horsepower and an impressive 150 lb-ft torque on 15% less fuel than Mazda's previous MZR 2.0L engine. For extra power and torque, upgrade to the 2.5L SKYACTIV®-G. It's quick off the line with 184 horsepower yet still surprisingly fuel-efficient.
CX-5 features two transmission options: the ultra-responsive SKYACTIV®-MT 6-speed manual and the SKYACTIV®-Drive 6-speed Sport automatic that is ultra smooth and light on fuel.
Suspension & Handling
CX-5's lighter-yet-more-rigid SKYACTIV®-Body and SKYACTIV®-Chassis give you superior driving performance and responsive handling. Combined with the MacPherson strut front suspension, multilink rear suspension and stabilizer bars, they all work together to conquer even the most challenging roads while delivering excellent ride comfort. To help increase safety and handling in snow, rain or rugged terrain, the available Active Torque Split All-Wheel Drive system uses multiple sensors to continuously monitor the road and actively distribute power to the front and rear wheels as needed.
Compromise is a thing of the past. Thanks to SKYACTIV® TECHNOLOGY, the Mazda CX-5 gets the best highway MPG of any SUV in America, including hybrids.† And fewer fill-ups means more green in your wallet, which can add up quickly. The SKYACTIV®-G 2.0L with front-wheel drive gets an EPA-estimated 35 Highway MPG,† while the new SKYACTIV®-G 2.5L delivers an EPA-estimated impressive 32 Highway MPG.†
Crash Protection
With the SKYACTIV®-Body, SKYACTIV®-Chassis and intuitive safety technologies, the CX-5 is built to protect. High tensile steel reinforcements and additional spot welds increase rigidity while side-impact door beams and Ring Structure distribute energy to help make the cabin even stronger. Six standard airbags,††† including advanced front and front side-impact airbags, and fast-inflating air curtains, help protect the driver and passengers in the event of a collision. In the event of an accident that activates the fuel cutoff, the available E911 notification system will automatically dial out to 911 via a paired Bluetooth®-enabled mobile phone to alert emergency personnel of your location.
Blind Spot Monitoring
You can't always see every car on the road, so the available class-leading Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System‡‡‡ is here to help. It uses motion-detecting technology to scan your blind spots. If it detects a vehicle in your blind spot when you activate a turn signal, it sounds a warning chime and illuminates an icon in the corresponding side-view mirror.

Tighten Your Gas Cap!

Is the Check Engine light on? Then make sure the gas cap is on tightly before calling the dealer. No joke, this is one of the most common ways of setting off your car's diagnostic system, since a loose gas cap defeats the fuel system's venting arrangement.

First Test: 2013 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring AWD

With 2013's Kodo-inspired face-lift, the Mazda CX-9 finally gets the looks to match its sporty personality. The new face marks the second refresh of the three-row, seven-passenger crossover since its 2008 debut -- the first was just two years ago. But one thing is notably absent from the 2013 CX-9: the Skyactiv technologies we enjoy on other Mazdas. While the CX-9's 42.8-inch front overhang remains (unlike the front-drive 2014 Mazda6 sedan, which has a long dash-to-axle ratio and rear-drive proportions), the rear sloping and smiling minivan-esque face has been replaced with an aggressive, forward-facing five-sided grille. The sleek eagle-eyed headlights are bisected by the grille's chrome surround, and the redesigned lower front fascia now has round foglights. Around back, the taillights receive new graphics similar to those on the 6 sedan, and the outgoing model's trapezoidal exhaust tips have been replaced by round tips that mimic the new front foglights. Satin chrome 20-inch alloy wheels complement our Grand Touring tester's Meteor Gray paint.

 Interior changes are few. Sand is added to the color list for 2013; the shifter knob has been redesigned; and the gauges now feature white characters over a dark background for better daytime visibility. The navigation system has been updated with a new 5.8-inch screen, and the volume and tuning knobs have moved from the top to the bottom of the infotainment system for a shorter reach. Rear backup sensors, standard on Touring and Grand Touring models, are new for 2013. The optional Bose audio system provides quality sound, though entering addresses into the TomTom-based navigation system (both are part of the $2435 GT Tech Package, along with Sirius satellite radio and power moonroof) can be frustrating. While in motion, the voice command feature is the only way to input an address, which took less time than trying to do it manually when parked. Our 2013 CX-9 Grand Touring AWD tester rang the register at $30,605 including the GT Tech Package and destination.

Mazda claims the CX-9 offers seating for seven adults with 40.9 inches of front, 39.8 inches of second row, and 32.4 inches of third-row legroom. The second row slides fore and aft up to five inches. This 5'10" scribe can fit in the third-row with the second row only a few inches forward, though it may not be comfortable for anyone over 5'4" on a long road trip. The front door and center armrests are higher and softer than those in most vehicles. Fully extending and lowering the steering wheel allows for proper 9 and 3 o'clock hand positions while being able to rest your arms on the armrests without obstructing the gauges.

  For 2013, the CX-9's mechanicals are unchanged, including the Ford-sourced 273-hp, 3.7-liter V-6 with 270 lb-ft of torque and its six-speed automatic transmission. During the daily commute, the CX-9 never felt underpowered while passing or when traffic quickly picked up from a crawl to highway speeds. At the dragstrip, the 4516-pound all-wheel-drive CX-9 hit 60 mph in 7.5 seconds and finished the quarter mile in 15.9 seconds at 88.0 mph. Those times are slightly off compared to the last 2011 CX-9 GT AWD model and front-drive 2012 CX-9 GT models we tested. Our 2011 all-wheel-drive tester accelerated to 60 in 7.3 seconds and hit 89.5 mph in 15.6, while the 200-pound-lighter 2012 front-drive tester accomplished the runs in 7.1 seconds and 15.6 seconds at 90.2 mph. The 2013 CX-9 stopped from 60 mph in 116 feet, tying the previous all-wheel-drive model and besting the front-driver by 4 feet.

Visibility from the helm is good out front and to the sides, with the Blind Spot Monitoring System (standard on Touring and Grand Touring) filling in any visual gaps. Since its arrival in 2008, the CX-9 has been praised for its sporty driving experience (it won the 2008 Motor Trend Sport Utility of the Year award), and the refreshed model is no exception. The CX-9's perfectly weighted and direct steering and confidence-inspiring suspension combine for a fun-to-drive experience befitting of a much smaller vehicle. Even with its athletic feel, the CX-9's ride is never punishing. Despite its size (200.6-inch length, 113.2-inch wheelbase, and 76.2-inch width) the CX-9 is nimble, with an impressive 37.4 foot turning circle that is among the best in its segment.

 

  At the track, the all-wheel-drive CX-9 pulled 0.78 g on the skidpad and lapped the figure eight in 28.1 seconds at 0.62 g average. Again performance numbers are slightly off from the last 2011 CX-9 GT AWD model we tested, which posted 0.81 g and 27.5 seconds at 0.61g, and similar to the front-drive 2012 CX-9 GT model, which posted 0.79 g and 28.3 seconds at 0.61 g. Despite the performance differences, slight variations in test numbers are common among the same models. Mazda hasn't indicated if and when the CX-9 will receive any of its Skyactiv technologies, but this latest refresh and bold new mug should keep the seven-passenger crossover fresh for a few more years. After six years on the market, the 2013 Mazda CX-9 finally gets the face it deserves to match its impressive balance of roominess and sportiness. With the recent introductions of the two-row 2013 CX-5 crossover and 2014 Mazda6 sedan and the CX-9's second refresh out of the way, the automaker is busy adding the full suite of Skyactiv technologies to the third generation of its best-selling compact Mazda3 sedan and hatch. Sometime after that model debuts we may see an all-new three-row crossover -- hopefully with an available Skyactiv diesel engine.
