An antidote of these acceleration ills is here comprising Mazda’s higher, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, that arrives regular in the Touring and Grand Touring models in the 2014 model year. (The 2.0-liter keeps on on the Sport trim and, unlike the 2.5, which is available only with a six-speed auto, may still become specified having a six-speed manual.) Although bigger by half a liter, the 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 make sure, but at the cost of some mpg.
Our long-term 2013 CX-5 Touring AWD with the 2.0-liter and automatic has averaged a solid 28 miles per gallon in mixed driving, however the 2014 2.5-liter test car returned only 21 mpg. Full disclosure: About 40 percent with the mileage in your 2.5-liter test car was gathered in foot-to-the-floor, no-quarter-given driving in the backwoods of northern Michigan. More restraint on the accelerator could yield results closer to the authorized EPA mixed quantity of 26 mpg. Both engines are rated to tow up to 2000 pounds, adequate 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 bit of an instigator, cutting and running in traffic situations in which the base car would best wait for a wider opening. All the chassis goodness with the 2.0-liter CX-5 remains, as well as the linear response and feedback in the electrically assisted steering are arguably finest in class. It is a well-balanced, cogently damped package that follows through on turn-in along with the routine predictability of a Michael Bay summer blockbuster.
Even so the braking components are far from exotic-single-pot calipers all over, 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.
