2025 Mazda CX-5 upgraded one last time

The 2025 Mazda CX-5 has undergone a whole host of MY25 upgrades in a bid to keep the strong-selling medium SUV relevant for a few months longer as the car-maker builds to the arrival of the all-new model at the end of this year.

As part of the updates, the CX-5 gets a new trim, with the G25 Touring FWD introduced to the range at the same time the all-wheel drive G25 Maxx Sport is axed.

New tech introduced on the Touring grade includes Mazda’s adaptive front lighting system (AFS) and an upgraded adaptive cruise control that can handle both stop-start driving and automatically self-centre.

From now on front parking sensors are also offered on all models, bar the base Maxx model, while adaptive LED headlamps now become standard on the GT SP and Akera flagship.

Engine choices carry over unchanged, with the 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol still producing 115kW/200Nm and only available in the entry Maxx trim.

The punchier 140kW/252Nm 2.5-litre four-cylinder, meanwhile, is available on the Maxx Sport, Touring, GT SP and Akera.

The most-powerful 2.5-litre turbo, that produces 170kW and 420Nm of torque is only available with the all-wheel drive GT SP and Akera flagship.

All models come with a six-speed auto, with no manual option.

Prices and full details for the latest CX-5, that has been on sale in one form or another since 2017, will be released later this year ahead of the revised SUV’s arrival in Australian dealerships this June.
