The 2021 Mazda CX-5 offers 2.5L I-4 engines to Kelowna, BC drivers. Though these options are the same size, they have differing design elements that give them unique attributes. Here is a close-up look at available engines for 2021 Mazda CX-5s.Â
The 2021 Mazda CX-5 has six different trim packages. The first three, the GX, GS, and Kuro, use a standard Skyactiv 2.5L four-cylinder engine with a front-wheel-drive system. This motor is responsive and provides a respectable 187 horsepower. Its most significant advantage is a fuel economy of 7.6 L/100 km on the highway.Â
The GS and Kuro have a feature called cylinder deactivation, which decreases engine use when the car is coasting to increase efficiency.Â
A 4x4 drivetrain is optional on the first three trims, but standard on the 2021 Mazda CX-5 GT, which also has a 2.5L Skyactiv engine with cylinder deactivation. It gets 7.9 L/100 km on the open road.Â
The 2021 Mazda CX-5 Signature and 100th Anniversary Edition use a 2.5L Skyactiv I-4 with Dynamic Pressure Turbo.This engine increases the compression ratio to 10.5:1, which leads to 250 horsepower and 320 lb.-ft of torque. Even with this extra muscle and standard AWD, these high-end trims still get 8.7 L/100 km on the highway.Â

SUV owners sometimes have to sacrifice fuel efficiency to get the truck-like qualities that they desire. However, getting these traits does not necessarily mean having to pay more for gas. The 2021 Mazda CX-5 is an ideal example of an economical utility vehicle. The base trim, the 2021 Mazda CX-5 GX, offers excellent fuel economy figures. It uses a 2.5L I-4 engine that provides 187 horsepower and utilizes a six-speed automatic transmission.Â
The 2021 GX comes in both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive varieties. The 4x2 gets 9.7 L/100 km in the city and 7.8 L/100 km on the highway. The 4x4 is slightly thirstier, getting 10.2 L/100 km in urban conditions and 8.2 L/100 km on the freeway.Â
Wallet-friendly vehicles often require some sacrifices. However, the 2021 Mazda CX-5 GX brings plenty of features to the table. The G-Vectoring Control Plus (GVC Plus) system transfers torque to different wheels to improve handling during turns and cornering. You also get a manual shift mode, rear independent suspension, and a towing capacity of over 900 kg.

One of the most significant advantages of small SUVs is that they handle like sedans rather than trucks. Not all of these crossovers perform the same. The engine, drivetrain, traction control system, and other traits have to combine to provide a car-like driving experience. One of the vehicles that achieves this balance is the 2021 Mazda CX-5.The mid-range 2021 Mazda CX-5 GT trim uses a Skyactiv-G 2.5L I-4 with Cylinder Deactivation. A Dynamic Pressure Turbo (DPT) version of the engine is available, as well. The standard motor delivers car-like fuel efficiency (7.9 L/100 km on the highway), while the optional upgrade brings 320 lb.-ft of torque and 250 horsepower.Â
The good news is that many of the features that make the 2021 CX-5 GT a driver-friendly vehicle do not require an upgrade. For example, the 2,698 mm wheelbase creates a wide stance, and the i-Activ system transfers torque to different wheels depending on driving conditions.
All CX-5s use a technology called G-Vectoring Control Plus (GVC Plus) to adjust performance based on the forces put on the vehicle. This feature gives the GT and its sister trims sports-car-like handling, especially when cornering or on curves.Â
If you are seeking a small SUV, you likely want a vehicle with truck-like traits that drives like a car. The 2021 Mazda CX-5 GT fits that description. Contact our Kelowna, BC dealership today to schedule a test drive.Â

However, none of these features mean anything without proper safety systems. The CX-5 has a wide range of traditional and high-tech elements meant to protect drivers and passengers.

Sensors also detect obstructions and pedestrians in front of the vehicle. The proprietary Smart City Brake Support system stops the auto when forward collision warnings sound.Â
The 2021 CX-5 GS boasts traditional features like front and side-curtain airbags, three-point belts for all passengers, and integrated child seat anchors.Â
The GC comes with optional all-wheel drive with the i-Activ traction control system, which senses road conditions and adjusts torque to keep the driver in control.Â
