Few compact SUVs manage to strike a balance between athleticism, refinement, and everyday usability quite like the 2025 Mazda CX-5. Long admired for its upscale design language and dynamic driving manners, the CX-5 continues to elevate expectations in its segment. And for drivers navigating Fargo, ND’s snow-covered streets or stretching out on the highway, it delivers a level of composure typically reserved for far pricier vehicles.
Offered in 8 distinct trims—from the well-equipped 2.5 S to the indulgent Turbo Signature—the 2025 lineup ensures there’s a CX-5 tailored to every lifestyle.
Trim Levels and Key Features
Base Trims: Versatility Meets Everyday Luxury
The CX-5’s journey begins with the 2.5 S, powered by Mazda’s proven SKYACTIV-G® 2.5-liter engine with cylinder deactivation, producing 187 horsepower and 185 lbs.-ft. of torque. A crisp 10.25-inch center display, Apple CarPlay®, and Android Auto™ come standard, providing seamless connectivity.
Mazda’s decision to equip AWD across the entire lineup gives Fargo drivers built-in confidence when winter weather strikes.
Stepping up, the 2.5 S Select introduces dual-zone automatic climate control and elegant leatherette seating, while the Preferred adds upscale touches like a power-sliding moonroof and an 8-way power driver’s seat with memory—amenities that feel decidedly premium in this class.
Mid-Level Trims: Style with Substance
For those who want standout styling, the Carbon Edition radiates attitude with its exclusive Polymetal Gray exterior and red-stitched leather-wrapped steering wheel. It’s an aesthetic rarely found in compact SUVs, giving the CX-5 an unmistakable personality.
The Premium Plus Package heightens the experience with ventilated front seats and a rich Bose® 10-speaker audio system, creating a more serene, indulgent cabin environment.
Turbocharged Excellence
For performance enthusiasts, Mazda offers the Carbon Turbo, powered by the SKYACTIV-G® 2.5 Dynamic Pressure Turbo engine producing up to 256 horsepower on premium fuel. With an impressive 320 lbs.-ft. of torque, the CX-5 transforms from a refined commuter to an eager performer, offering rewarding acceleration without sacrificing everyday civility.
At the top of the range, the Turbo Premium and the lavish Turbo Signature deliver genuine luxury, showcasing Caturra Brown Nappa leather, genuine layered wood trim, and a cabin ambiance worthy of a boutique hotel.
Performance Tailored for Every Condition
The 2025 CX-5 remains one of the most engaging SUVs in its class. Its SKYACTIV-Drive 6-speed automatic transmission shifts with smooth, deliberate confidence, while Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) gives drivers access to Normal, Sport, and Off-road modes, adapting seamlessly to North Dakota’s varied terrain.
Mazda’s i-ACTIV AWD system enhances stability on icy roads, constantly monitoring conditions and allocating torque where it’s needed most.
Turbocharged models deliver an even more commanding drive, their abundant torque making passing maneuvers and highway merges effortless and refined.
Advanced Safety and Smart Technology
Every CX-5 arrives with a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance features, including Blind Spot Monitoring, Lane Keep Assist, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. Upper trims introduce sophisticated additions such as a 360-degree view monitor and Traffic Jam Assist, ideal for navigating Fargo’s bustling retail districts or tight parking structures.
Inside, the Mazda Connect™ infotainment system anchors the user experience with clarity and responsiveness. Wireless phone charging, SiriusXM® capability, and intuitive functionality make the CX-5 feel modern, composed, and thoughtfully arranged.
