Is the 2026 Mazda CX-5 fuel economy rating bad — or actually pretty competitive for a compact SUV with standard AWD? 🚗⛽ In this quick breakdown, we look at the real numbers behind the redesigned CX-5.
The 2026 Mazda CX-5 is powered by a 2.5L SkyActiv-G engine producing 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and standard i-Activ AWD across the lineup.
⛽ Fuel Economy Ratings
• 9.9 L/100 km city
• 7.9 L/100 km highway
• 9.0 L/100 km combined (≈26 MPG)
That’s competitive for a gasoline compact SUV that comes standard with all-wheel drive. In the U.S., the CX-5 is estimated at about 24 MPG city and 30 MPG highway.
⚡ Consumer Fast Facts
✔ 2.5-L naturally aspirated engine with 187 hp
✔ Standard AWD on every trim
✔ Larger body (+4.5 inches length & wheelbase) for more rear space
✔ New 15.6-inch touchscreen with Google Built-In
✔ Cargo space up to 1,882 L (66.5 cu.ft.) with seats folded
Mazda also confirmed a hybrid version arriving in 2027, which should significantly improve efficiency while keeping the CX-5’s fun-to-drive character.
So what do you think — is 26 MPG combined bad, or perfectly fine for an AWD compact SUV? 🤔👇
