Overview
Mazda CX-5 at a glance
Quick model context before comparing photos and trim-level specifications.
First introduced five years prior, the second-generation CX-5 has maintained its core appeal, prompting Mazda to take a conservative approach with this restyling. Debuting in late 2021 for the 2022 model year, the crossover bridges the gap while the manufacturer develops a new rear-wheel-drive platform. The changes focus on refining the existing formula rather than a complete overhaul. Depending on the market, buyers can choose from various exterior styling packages that incorporate body-color cladding, bright chrome accents, or gloss black trim. Mechanically, the chassis benefits from a stiffer subframe and revised suspension tuning aimed at balancing sharper handling with better passenger comfort.

Mazda CX-5 overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
The exterior updates on the 2022 CX-5 are understated. The front fascia features a subtly reshaped bumper and a revised grille pattern that gives the crossover a slightly more modern look. Both the headlights and taillights feature updated internal LED graphics. The overall dimensions remain familiar, measuring 4575 mm in length with a 2700 mm wheelbase and 185 mm of ground clearance. Different trim levels offer distinct visual identities, replacing the standard black plastic cladding with either body-colored panels for a premium aesthetic or black accents for a sportier appearance.
Interior
Inside the cabin, the layout remains largely the same, but material quality sees an upgrade in higher trims, offering Nappa leather upholstery and genuine wood trim. The front seats have been redesigned to provide better support and comfort during longer trips. Technology updates include the addition of a larger 10.25-inch infotainment display and an available Qi wireless charging pad. Contrast stitching and specific interior accents vary depending on the chosen exterior package, allowing for a more customized cabin environment. Cargo capacity sits at 458 liters.
Performance
The engine lineup carries over without major changes. It includes naturally aspirated 2.0-liter (150-165 hp) and 2.5-liter (194 hp) four-cylinder engines, alongside a 230-hp 2.5-liter turbo and 2.2-liter turbodiesels (150 or 184 hp). Transmission choices include a six-speed manual or a revised six-speed automatic that is tuned for smoother, more responsive shifts. The updated CX-5 also introduces the Mi-Drive (Mazda intelligent Drive Select) system, adding an off-road mode for tricky terrain. While US models standardize i-Activ AWD, front-wheel drive remains available in other markets.
Practicality
As a compact crossover, the CX-5 balances everyday utility with a manageable footprint. The 458-liter trunk offers adequate space for groceries or family luggage, and the 185 mm ground clearance provides confidence over rough pavement or light snow. The redesigned seats and revised suspension tuning aim to reduce fatigue, making it a capable commuter and long-distance cruiser. Its 2700 mm wheelbase ensures reasonable rear-seat legroom for adult passengers.
Safety and tech
Available technology features include a 10.25-inch central display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Higher trims can be equipped with a 10-speaker Bose audio system, a head-up display, and a 360-degree surround-view camera. Safety equipment is comprehensive, with advanced driver assistance systems like adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking available depending on the trim level. Top versions also feature adaptive LED headlights.
Buyer notes
Shoppers considering the 2022 CX-5 should pay attention to the specific trim levels, as the exterior styling and interior materials vary significantly. The choice between the standard 2.0-liter and the more powerful 2.5-liter engines will dictate the performance character of the vehicle. While all-wheel drive is standard in some regions, confirming the drivetrain configuration is important if front-wheel drive is preferred for better fuel economy. Buyers should also verify the availability of features like the larger infotainment screen and advanced safety tech in their specific market.
