An antidote of these acceleration ills has arrived comprising of Mazda’s larger, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, which arrives common in the Touring and Grand Touring models in the 2014 model year. (The 2.0-liter carries on in the Sport trim and, unlike the 2.5, which is obtainable only with a six-speed auto, may still become particular using a six-speed manual.) Although bigger by half a liter, the recent mill bumps output by 29 horsepower and 35 lb-ft of torque. So lucky, our CX-5 cracked off a 7.6-second 0-to-60 time and knocked down the quarter in 15.8. Welcome improvements to be sure, but at the price of a few mpg.
Our long-term 2013 CX-5 Touring AWD with the 2.0-liter and automatic offers averaged a solid 28 miles per gallon in mixed driving, but the 2014 2.5-liter test car returned only 21 mpg. Full disclosure: Approximately 40 percent in the mileage inside our 2.5-liter test car was built up in foot-to-the-floor, no-quarter-given driving through the backwoods of northern Michigan. More restraint on the accelerator could yield results closer to the authorized EPA combined quantity of 26 mpg. Both engines are rated to tow up to 2000 pounds, adequate tugging power for personal watercraft and small cargo trailers.
However the numbers only tell an element of the story. Whereas the 155-hp, 2.0-liter CX-5 is a willing but weak companion, the 184-hp, 2.5-liter car is a little an instigator, cutting and running in traffic situations where the base car would best hold out for the wider opening. All the chassis goodness through the 2.0-liter CX-5 remains, plus the linear response and feedback from the electrically assisted steering are arguably finest in class. It is a well-balanced, cogently damped package that follows through on turn-in with the routine predictability of an Michael Bay summer blockbuster.
Even so the braking components are far from exotic-single-pot calipers throughout, 11.7-inch vented front rotors and 11.9-inch solid rotors in back-Mazda has tuned the setup well, and our CX-5 2.5 stopped from 70 mph in 166 feet.
