Mazda is planning a complete redesign of their brand, with a new RWD chassis and Straight-6 engine. But, first and foremost, the CX-5 is receiving a bit of a facelift for MY2022. So, what’s new this time? Outside, new LED headlights and taillights with a double L lighting signature have been installed. The front bumper and grille design have also been tweaked.

With the death of the FWD versions, the engines remain unchanged. The base engine produces 187 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque (252NM), while the 2.5L Turbo produces 250 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque (434NM). Mazda has also tweaked the 6-speed automatic transmission and made minor chassis tweaks.

Mazda will make its i-Activ AWD system standard on every CX model sold in the United States in 2022, including the CX-30, CX-5, and CX-9. The CX-5 also receives new wheels and trim levels for 2022, with the 2.5 Turbo replacing the Grand Touring Reserve and a new Turbo Signature trim with Nappa leather, genuine wood, and other features. A new wireless charger, a new 10.25-inch infotainment screen, updated driver safety systems, and increased ride comfort are all available on the inside.
