There are five variants of this popular SUV: 2.0L 2WD MID; 2.0L 2WD HIGH; 2.5L 2WD HIGH; 2.2L 2WD HIGH; and 2.5L AWD HIGH T/C.
With the exception of the 2.2L variant which uses the SkyActiv-D turbocharged diesel engine, the others are driven by SkyActiv-G petrol powerplants. Also, as mentioned in an earlier article, the updated CX-5 line-up now includes a 2.5L SkyActiv-G turbocharged petrol variant which replaces a diesel one at the top of the range. Every variant uses the 6-speed SkyActiv Drive automatic transmission to place powers to either the front wheels or all wheels, depending on the variant.
To recap, the SkyActiv-G 2.0L naturally aspirated engine produces 162 hp @ 6,000 rpm and 213 Nm @ 4,000 rpm, while the SkyActiv-G 2.5L puts out 192 hp @ 6,000 rpm and 258 Nm @ 4,000 rpm, and the diesel-powered SkyActiv-D 2.2L has 173 hp @ 4,500 rpm and 420 Nm from 2,000 rpm. Meanwhile, the SkyActiv-G 2.5L Turbocharged engine produces 227 hp @ 5,000 rpm and 420 Nm from 2,000 rpm and uses a two-stage turbine to reduce lag and provide smooth, linear acceleration.
Features you can find in the locally-assembled updated CX-5 include G-Vectoring Control Plus (a software control system which provides better steering stability and confidence), Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, LED automatic headlamps with auto levelling, and i-ActivSense advanced safety features which include, but are not limited to, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA), and Smart City Brake Support (Front & Rear). The latter is omitted from the base 2.0L 2WD MID variant.
For body colour, there is a choice of Soul Red Crystal, Machine Gray, Snowflake White Pearl, Deep Crystal Blue, Sonic Silver, Meteor Gray, Jet Black and Arctic White.
