Responsive SKYACTIV-G Performance and i-ACTIV AWD
Under the hood, the 2026 Mazda CX-5 2.5 S Preferred features a SKYACTIV-G 2.5L I-4 direct-injection engine equipped with cylinder deactivation, delivering 187 horsepower while achieving an efficient 24 City / 30 Highway MPG.

Standard i-ACTIV All-Wheel Drive constantly monitors road conditions to deliver surefooted traction across wet pavement or uneven surfaces.
