Notes and sources
- Fuel economy: EPA combined test-cycle figure for the configuration CX-5 4WD (26 city, 30 highway). EPA data dated 2025-08-22, the date EPA wrote the workbook in 25data.zip.↩
- CO₂: EPA's tailpipe rating for the car driven as rated on the test cycle — 321 g/mi, or 199 g/km.↩
- Fuel cost: EPA's own annual estimate for this car is $1,900, on EPA's assumptions. At this week's price it is $2,129: 13,800 mi a year at the EPA combined figure, priced at $4.319 per gallon — the U.S. Energy Information Administration's weekly U.S. average for regular gasoline, all formulations, on 2026-09-14. Five years at that price: $10,643. Both are estimates; neither is a measured figure.↩
- Power: not published. EPA values disagree.↩
- Crash rating: NHTSA's overall rating for the 2025 CX-5 — frontal 5, side 5, rollover 4 stars. NHTSA data as of 2026-09-10.↩
- Recall campaigns: NHTSA lists none for the 2025 CX-5 as of 2026-09-10.↩
- Complaints: NHTSA holds 27 for the 2025 CX-5, 7 of which describe a crash, fire, injury or death. The rate per 10,000 built is not computed: the model year's production is still being reported to NHTSA.↩
- Kerb weight: the crash-tested vehicle (NHTSA NCAP), 3,590 lb (1,628 kg); corroborated by the maker's 49 CFR 565 filing.↩
- EPA test weight: not published. EPA values disagree.↩
- Warranty: 3 years or 36,000 miles, from Mazda's published 2025 warranty statement, compiled into carstandings.com's warranty table.↩
- Registrations: 17,586 CX-5s of this model year on New York's roads, from the NY DMV registration file as of 2026-09-02.↩
- This car is measured on the petrol scale: miles per gallon, the tailpipe CO₂ rating and horsepower. MPGe and charge-weighted CO₂ are electric-scale quantities and do not apply to it.↩
- Price: no free, resellable source publishes a price for any 2025 car sold in the United States, so none is shown for any car in this market.↩
