Deluxe Comfort For Up to 5

With how grand it looks, it’s easy to forget that Mazda’s 2025 CX-5 is a compact SUV. Its strength of character doesn’t stop on the outside, either; seating up to 5, the CX-5’s interior cabin spares no expense and overlooks no detail. Passengers can enjoy up to 39 inches of headroom, a comfortable 55 inches of hip room, and almost equal amounts of shoulder and leg room across the front and the back rows, meaning everyone can stretch out an equal amount and enjoy the ride. 

Heating and ventilation options also vary depending on which trim drivers opt for, same as upholstery and accent stitching, but you and your passengers are sure to be satisfied with the CX-5’s characterful style and plush comfort no matter which level you choose.

Fold Down to Fit In

Mazda drivers have been singing the praises of the CX-5’s 40/20/40 rear seat split, which brings more freedom than ever to your interior configurations. Got passengers and cargo to juggle? Don’t feel limited by a plain old 60/40 folding arrangement; with 40/20/40, you can grab the family, pack your skis, and get rolling onto your next adventure without making anyone feel squashed in or crowded. 

Alternatively, if you’re heading out solo or with just your front-seat passenger, you can completely fold down the second row and make full use of the CX-5’s 1,680 L cargo capacity. While not the most cavernous cargo among Mazda’s collection of SUVs, it’s more than enough for some vacation luggage, a furniture flatpack for that cabinet you’ve been thinking about, or a grand day out at your favourite mall.
