Performance & Capability

Under the hood of the 2025 Mazda CX-5 2.5 S Preferred lies the SKYACTIV-G 2.5L I-4 engine, a powerplant engineered for efficiency and responsiveness. This gasoline direct injection engine features cylinder deactivation to help optimize fuel consumption during steady cruising, delivering 187HP for a confident drive through the Inland Empire. Paired with a SKYACTIV-Drive 6-speed automatic transmission featuring overdrive and a lock-up torque converter, the power delivery is smooth and predictable, making it ideal for the varied elevations found around Etiwanda, CA.

Standard i-ACTIV AWD provides an automatic full-time all-wheel-drive system that monitors road conditions in real-time, ensuring traction is available exactly when you need it. For those who want more control over their driving dynamics, the Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) allows you to choose specific drivetrain modes to suit your environment. The mechanical foundation is equally impressive, featuring an aluminum engine block and a four-wheel independent suspension system. With a strut front suspension and a multi-link rear setup, the CX-5 maintains a planted, comfortable ride even when navigating the winding roads near the foothills. This crossover achieves an efficient 26 city MPG and 30 highway MPG, ensuring that your trips across the valley are as economical as they are enjoyable.

Technology & Connectivity

In today's connected world, staying in touch while on the move is essential. The CX-5 features the MAZDA CONNECT Infotainment System, centered around a 10.2-inch primary display. This large screen provides a clear interface for all your media needs, while the Multifunction Commander Control allows you to navigate menus without taking your eyes off the road. With smart device integration via Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, your favorite apps, podcasts, and playlists are always within reach as you travel through Ontario, CA.

The tech suite extends to communication and convenience with SMS text message audio delivery and reply, allowing you to stay productive safely. Voice-activated audio controls and Bluetooth hands-free wireless connectivity ensure that your hands stay on the leather-wrapped steering wheel. For the modern family, 4 USB ports are distributed throughout the cabin to keep everyones devices charged. The gauge cluster features a 4.6-inch display providing vital trip data, while the turn-by-turn navigation system ensures you never miss a turn on your way to a new destination.

Comfort & Interior

Step inside the cabin and you are greeted by a Black interior featuring leather front seat upholstery, creating an atmosphere of understated luxury. The 2025 Mazda CX-5 2.5 S Preferred prioritizes driver comfort with a power driver seat that includes 8-way directional controls and 2-way power lumbar support. The memory seat system stores up to two settings, making it easy to share the vehicle with another driver. Passengers are not forgotten, as the power passenger seat offers 6-way adjustments, and heated front bucket seats provide warmth during those cooler morning starts in the valley.

The interior is designed for versatility, featuring 40-20-40 folding rear seats that allow you to customize the cargo space for larger items like sports equipment or weekend shopping hauls. Dual-zone front climate control and rear under-seat climate ducts ensure that all five occupants remain comfortable regardless of the temperature outside. Convenience is baked into every detail, from the Advanced Keyless Entry with push-button start to the power liftgate that makes loading the rear cargo area effortless. Touches like the leather gear shifter, metal-look interior accents, and a power moonroof elevate the daily driving experience to something truly special.

Safety & Driver Assistance

Safety is a core tenet of the Mazda philosophy, and the CX-5 is equipped with a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance technologies. The Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) with adaptive cruise control helps maintain a safe following distance during highway travel, while the Lane Keep Assist System (LKAS) provides gentle steering corrections to help keep you centered in your lane. When navigating busy parking lots in Jurupa Valley, CA, the Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Blind Spot Monitoring systems act as an extra set of eyes, alerting you to vehicles you might otherwise miss.

The vehicle is also equipped with Advanced Smart City Brake Support for forward collision mitigation, providing peace of mind in heavy traffic. The braking system is robust, featuring 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS and an electronic parking brake with automatic brake hold. In the event of an unavoidable situation, the CX-5 protects its occupants with a total of six airbags, including curtain first and second-row overhead airbags and an occupant sensing system. The rear-mounted camera provides a clear view of what is behind you, making reversing into tight spaces simpler and safer.

Exterior & Design

The exterior of the 2025 Mazda CX-5 2.5 S Preferred is finished in a striking Jet Black Mica, a color that highlights the vehicle's flowing lines and athletic stance. The design is accented by 19-inch machined aluminum alloy wheels with painted accents, giving the crossover a sophisticated and premium presence on the road. A rear lip spoiler and body-colored bumpers contribute to the aerodynamic profile, while the black grille and metal-look front bumper inserts add a touch of modern flair.

Functionality meets style with the inclusion of LED low and high-beam headlights featuring auto-leveling and High Beam Control. These projector-beam headlights ensure maximum visibility during night drives through the darker stretches of the Inland Empire.
