Mazda CX-5 Fuel Consumption (MPG & km/L)

What Parkers Say About The Mazda CX-5

In general, Mazda's engines are a little bit bigger than those of its rivals. This explains why slightly lower MPG and higher CO2 emissions are to be expected. You might still want to give the gasoline-powered model some thought if you're a company car driver searching for the lowest taxed CX-5. This is because you could save between £10 and £20 a month because the significantly lower price offsets the higher emissions.

Although Mazda's fuel efficiency ratings under the WLTP testing methodology are significantly higher than those of competitors, they are still limited by the absence of a plug-in hybrid option. These are mirrored in the miles per pound prices, which seem expensive and range from 5.1 to 6.4 mpp for the entire lineup.

Your best option for maximising fuel efficiency is the diesel combination (150 and 184 horsepower), while the most remarkable petrol model is the 2.0 Skyactiv-G with the lowest horsepower. Though the most potent model in the CX-5 lineup, the 2.5-litre Skyactiv-G, only has an automatic gearbox, adding an automatic gearbox does increase consumption. If you're looking for a car with low operating costs, don't buy this one because it barely manages to get 30 mpg in actual driving.

What Honest John Says About The Fuel Consumption of the Mazda CX-30

You are forced to choose a diesel Mazda CX-5 if you want low operating costs because there isn't an electric or hybrid version available. WLTP tests show that the 150 PS 2.2-litre diesel with manual gearbox can achieve up to 50.4 mpg, while the automatic can achieve 46.3 mpg. The 184 PS model's fuel economy is the same, though it decreases for AWD models; with a manual gearbox, expect about 44.8 mpg, and with an automatic, 42.8 mpg.

The 2.0-litre gasoline Mazda CX-5 is rated for up to 41.5 mpg when driven manually, and 38.7 mpg when driven automatically. Not surprisingly, the official fuel economy of the 2.5-litre AWD petrol engine is 35.3 mpg.

Mazda CX-5 Fuel Efficiency Figures

The fuel consumption of the Mazda CX-5 is shown below in both MPG (Miles Per Gallon) and km/L (Kilometers Per Litre). Both of these figures show you how far that particular Mazda CX-5 variant can travel for every gallon (4.55 litres) and every litre (1000ml) of fuel. The higher the MPG or km/L value, the more economical the car is and the cheaper it will be to run. As well as providing the combined figures, we also give you the fuel consumption you can expect from a Mazda CX-5 in urban / city driving conditions as well as what can be expected on the open highway / motorway.
