For 2022 Mazda has updated its most popular, best selling model, the X-5. Currently among the best small SUVs, Mazda made it even better. The CX-5 is more fun to drive than most vehicles in its class and has lots of premium materials inside and out. Mazda has also made All-Wheel Drive standard on all CX-5 models. Plus, they tweaked its appearance inside and out, made the turbo models more powerful and retuned the dynamic 6-speed automatic transmission. The changes make the 2022 CX-5 faster, quieter and more powerful.

All-Wheel Drive Is Standard

One thing that sets the Mazda CX-5 apart is that it gets great traction whether on-road or off-road with its excellent All-Wheel Drive. In 2022, every Mazda CX-5 will come equipped with All-Wheel Drive. While other automakers charge extra for All-Wheel Drive, the 2022 Mazda CX-5 has it and all the safety and performance benefits it gives at no additional cost. It lets drivers enjoy the CX-5 ‘zoom, zoom, zoom’ experience. The 2022 Mazda CX-5 is now even safer and drivers will enjoy its enhanced performance.

Appearance Upgrades 

For 2022 Mazda has made appearance upgrades to make the CX-5 look even more attractive and stylish inside and out. It starts with a sharper framed mesh grille or ‘signature wing’ on the front fascia. The CX-5 also gets narrower headlights which have rectangular LEDs. Mazda also added a redesigned liftgate and larger tailpipes. Plus, slide inside the 2022 Mazda CX-5 and you will quickly notice the beautiful new seats. These reshaped new seats do more than just look good, they offer greater stability and make the occupants more comfortable on any road trip. 

More Powerful Turbocharged Engines

At Mazda, ‘zoom, zoom, zoom’ is more than a tagline. It’s an accurate description of how the engine responds when you step on the accelerator. And for 2022, Mazda takes that experience to a whole new level by adding even more power to the turbocharged engines available on the CX-5. The 2.5 liter, Inline-4 engine on the CX-5’s base model will still have 187 horsepower. But add premium fuel to the optional turbocharged engine and you will experience an instant increase from 227 horsepower to an impressive 256 horsepower. Driving the 2022 Mazda CX-5 will be even more exhilarating and exciting. 

A Retuned Transmission

The engineers at Mazda have also improved the performance of the 2022 MX-5 by retuning its 6-speed automatic transmission. The retuning enables it to help to provide much more power very early in the acceleration process. The Mazda engineers also tightened the frame, as well as changed the damping on the suspension system. As a result, the 2022 Mazda CX-5 not only has quicker acceleration, it also has reduced road noise. This means it is now faster and quieter than ever before. Together all of these changes have helped to make the 2022 version of the Mazda CX-5 the best version ever produced.
