Mazda CX-5 – Mazda Australia’s most popular model is set to broaden its appeal with the addition of a new front-wheel drive option and more equipment joining the model range.
Leading the enhancements for 2025 is the introduction of the G25 Touring FWD model grade, replacing the G25 Maxx Sport AWD and expanding the total number of FWD options available in the CX-5 range to three – Maxx, Sport and Touring.
All Touring models, regardless of FWD or AWD drivetrain, also get upgraded with an Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) and Cruising and Traffic Support (CTS) as standard.
Elsewhere, additional enhancements include front parking sensors fitted as standard to G25 Maxx Sport models and Adaptive LED Headlamps (ALH) on the G25 and G35 GT SP.
Five Mazda CX-5 AWD models are available in total, with GT SP and the flagship Akera offering the option of the renowned G25 2.5-litre Skyactiv G petrol or the brawnier G35 2.5-litre turbocharged petrol.
The latest 2025 Mazda CX-5 range will go on sale from June in Mazda dealerships nationwide, with pricing to be confirmed closer to launch.
