This is a Motormouth couple car review of the 2024 Mazda CX-5 compact SUV. What’s new for 2024? Mazda has softened the front spring rate and adjusted the stabilizer bar to provide better initial turn in when cornering. There is a standard 10.25” touchscreen centre display for Apple Carplay and Android Auto, cosmetic updates to individual trims, a new Suna Turbo model in Canada and in the US, the Carbon Turbo.
The 2024 Mazda CX-5 Suna model we are driving comes exclusively in Zircon Sand Metallic. It has gloss black exterior accents, a black grille and black 19” wheels. The interior feels upscale with a blend of different materials and colours including terracotta leather with black faux suede trim, terracotta stitching and black piping.
The 2024 Mazda CX-5 Carbon Turbo model in the US is very similar to the Suna trim with black exterior accents, 19” black wheel and a terracotta leather trimmed interior with black faux suede. It comes in two exterior colour options, Zircon Sand Metallic and Rhodium White Metallic.
There are two 2024 Mazda CX-5 AWD powertrain options, a 2.5L turbocharged 4 cylinder with a 6-speed automatic transmission with premium fuel, 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque and regular fuel, 227 horsepower & 310 lb-ft of torque.
The 2024 Mazda CX-5 CX-5 base engine is a 2.5L 4-cylinder, 187 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque.
2024 Mazda CX-5 standard features include, a 10.25” centre display with Mazda Connect,
Touchscreen centre display for wired Apple Carplay and Android Auto, available wireless, a 7” LCD display, Mi-Drive with sport/off-road modes, push button start, key-less entry, heated front manual seats, 17” wheels, a temporary spare tire and i-Activsense safety features.
The 2024 Mazda CX-5 Suna and 2024 Mazda CX-5 Carbon models come loaded, I absolutely love these trims and colour combos. Features include, a moonroof, heated and ventilated power front seats, driver seat memory, heated steering wheel, a wireless charger, Bose sound system and a power tailgate.
The 2024 Mazda CX-5 Suna model also has a 360-camera navigation and heated rear seats. The Carbon trim does not, these features are standard on higher trims in the US.
2024 Mazda CX-5 fuel economy, 2.5L 4-cylinder 9.1L/100 km, 26 MPG city and 7.7L/100 km, 31 MPG highway. 2.5T 10.8L/100 km, 22 MPG city and 8.7L/100 km, 27 MPG highway. The CX-5 can tow 2,000 pounds.

The 2024 Mazda CX-5 starts at $34,345 CAD/$29,300 USD. The new Suna Turbo is $46,295 CAD and the Carbon Turbo $37,000 USD.
