Used 2022 Mazda CX-5 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2022 Mazda CX-5 is a five-passenger SUV sold in eight trim levels: S, Select, Preferred, Carbon Edition, Premium, Premium Plus, Turbo and Turbo Signature. Feature highlights include:

The standard engine makes 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque, while Turbo and Turbo Signature trims get a boost with 227 hp and 310 lb-ft on regular octane gas. With 93 octane fuel, those numbers rise to 256 hp and 320 lb-ft.

S
The base CX-5 2.5 S trim starts with:

  • 2.5-liter engine (187 hp, 186 lb-ft of torque)

Every CX-5 comes with a comprehensive set of driving aids, which include:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Mazda and the car in front)

  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Heated front seats
  • Simulated leather upholstery
  • Rear air vents

  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • Sunroof
  • Power liftgate
  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Power-adjustable passenger seat
  • Leather upholstery

Carbon Edition
This trim simply adds a few cosmetic touches, such as:

  • 19-inch black-painted wheels
  • Exclusive gray exterior paint
  • Gloss black side mirrors and trim
  • Black or red leather upholstery

Premium
The Premium trim enhances the CX-5's performance and infotainment offerings with:

  • 19-inch wheels
  • Adaptive headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
  • Heated mirrors
  • Paddle shifters
  • Adjustable drive modes
  • Upgraded driver information display
  • Satellite radio
  • 10-speaker Bose audio system

Premium Plus
The Premium Plus raises comfort and convenience with:

  • Power-folding mirrors
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line onto the windshield)
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated rear seats
  • Heated steering wheel

Turbo
Moving up the Turbo gets you:

  • Turbocharged engine (227 hp and 310 lb-ft, or 256 hp and 320 lb-ft with 93 octane fuel)
  • Black-painted wheels
  • Special exterior and interior trim
  • Wireless charging pad

Turbo Signature
The range-topping Turbo Signature goes all in on luxury appointments, including:

  • Upgraded leather upholstery
  • Wood trim
  • Ambient interior lighting
  • Navigation system
  • 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the CX-5 and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Rear automatic braking (brakes if sensors detect an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)

Which CX-5 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The CX-5 is at its best when equipped with its turbocharged engine. Unfortunately, you can only get it with the pricey Turbo or Turbo Signature trim. If you need a value pick, consider the Preferred trim. It comes with just about everything you'll need from a small SUV and even has a few premium upgrades, such as leather upholstery.
