Fuel Efficiency Features of the MAZDA CX-5

There’s no doubt that the 2022 Mazda CX-5 is an attractive compact crossover, but it’s also incredibly fuel efficient. With gas prices steadily on the rise, fuel efficiency is a crucial consideration when you’re shopping for a new car. Thankfully, the Mazda CX-5 is packed with fuel-saving features that can save you money at the pump — and keep your carbon footprint smaller.

Skyactiv®-G Engine

The 2022 Mazda CX-5 comes equipped with a 2.5-liter Skyactiv®-G four-cylinder engine that can produce up to 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque. One of the benefits of the latest Skyactiv-G® technology is increased engine efficiency — thanks to its high compression combustion — resulting in a 15% increase in fuel efficiency and torque over other engines.

The Mazda Skyactiv®-G 2.5 Dynamic Pressure Turbo engine, available in the top trims, produces 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque with 93 octane fuel. It’s also one of the most fuel-efficient turbo engines on the road.

MAZDA Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)

Many drivers might not realize that their cruise control can help preserve fuel while cruising the highway. Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) uses a millimeter-wave radar to judge the relative speed and distance to the car ahead and automatically controls vehicle speed.

By keeping acceleration steady, your vehicle wastes less fuel, giving you better fuel economy. On top of that, MRCC keeps you driving safely.

Lower Vehicle Weight

Another contributor to losing fuel efficiency is excessive weight, and the Mazda CX-5 tackles that problem with ease. The Skyactiv®-G engine weighs considerably less than most gas-guzzling engines, keeping the chassis lighter for both fuel-saving and faster speeds. The aerodynamic body design also goes a long way in preserving fuel in the Mazda CX-5.
