Mazda CX-5 fuel consumption varies depending on the model and engine choice. For the 2025 Mazda CX-5, the base 2.5-liter engine is rated by the EPA at 23–26 mpg city and 29–31 mpg highway, depending on trim[3][6]. Turbocharged models have slightly lower ratings: 22 mpg city and 27 mpg highway[1][6].
For combined driving, most CX-5 trims achieve between 24 and 28 mpg EPA combined[1][3]. Real-world tests suggest highway fuel economy can reach or slightly exceed EPA estimates, with some reports showing up to 32 mpg on long highway runs[4].
