The 2025 Mazda CX-5’s 2.5 S Preferred trim level is one that adds quite a few noteworthy features to the already impressive offerings of the base edition. This overview has been crafted with the goal of telling you about some of the essential additions that you can expect to find with this model, so continue reading and feel free to contact the Mazda of Port Charlotte team for more information!

Performance

The Mazda CX-5 2.5 S Preferred boasts a more impressive fuel economy rating than you may initially expect, as its 26/30 MPG city/hwy1 will be vital to your ability to stay on the roads of Port Charlotte as much as possible. This efficiency is already promising in its own right, and when you consider the i-ACTIV AWD® system that you’ll have alongside it, there’s already plenty to be excited about at the prospect of driving this vehicle. Of course, the fun doesn’t stop there either, since a SKYACTIV®-G 2.5L 4-cylinder engine with 187 horsepower and 185 lb.-ft. of torque is situated beneath the hood of this compact crossover SUV, and it’ll be paired with a SKYACTIV®-Drive 6-speed automatic transmission with a manual shift and Sport mode.

Interior

If you’re seeking a driving experience with premium comfort, then the 2025 Mazda CX-5 2.5 S Preferred will provide an 8-way power-adjustable pilot’s chair with lumbar support and 2-position memory that you’ll most likely be a big fan of. Unlike the trim levels that come before it, this one includes a power sliding-glass moonroof with an interior sunshade that’ll give you control over just how open you want the cabin to feel at any given moment. We also have to point out the auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink®2 that provides better visibility and a more convenient way for controlling your home’s garage door remotely.

Exterior

Your trips to Larry Taylor Kiwanis Park can be all the more enjoyable when you bring some essential items with you to enhance the experience, and luckily, the Mazda CX-5 2.5 S Preferred has a Rear Power Liftgate with its own programmable height adjustment3. The rear privacy glass will keep your cargo hidden from view, while the AWD badge and body-colored rear roof spoiler give onlookers subtle elements to appreciate about this model’s design. And if those aren’t enough, then the 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels with a Gray Metallic finish will steal the show with their sleek design. You can find our dealership location just off Route 41, so plan a trip to come and see us if you’d like to take a closer look at the 2025 Mazda CX-5 2.5 S Preferred!

Is the 2025 MAZDA CX-5 2.5 S Preferred Good for Daily Commuting?

Had an excellent experience buying my car at Mazda of Port Charlotte. From the start, everyone was friendly and easy to work with. Eddy really made the whole process easy and took the time to answer all my questions so I could get into the car I was looking for. When it came to the paperwork, Steven was nice and got everything done quickly and smoothly. Overall, a great team and a stress-free car buying experience. Definitely recommend checking them if you're in the market for a new ride!

Highly recommend!

I bought 2 cars with Sam and it was the easiest transaction! I went to look at a different dealership and came straight back. I will not ever make that mistake again. Sam and everyone at Mazda of Pt Charlotte treated me kind and respectful. Answered all my questions thoroughly and have been just as helpful after the purchase. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend both of them!

UPDATE: I had to update this review because I found several dents in the roof of my “new” truck after having PPF installed. The installer pointed them out to me. I spoke to Eli afterwards and we was not made aware there were any dents on the truck prior to selling it to me. I was fully expecting the dealership to blame me and stick me with the repairs. This would be typical for most dealerships. THAT is not what happened. Eli spoke to the sales manager and they took care of me! I can’t speak highly enough about Eli and this dealership. They are different in a good way and stand by their cars and more importantly their customer. Thank you Eli and Mazda of Port Charlotte. Eli was a great salesman. Not pushy really easy to work with. This dealership was one of the best ones I have ever bought a car from.

Great experience.

Eli was fantastic to work with. I never felt pressured to purchase nor did he use any hard sell tactics. He answered all of my questions and found answers for the ones he didn’t know off the top of his head. Great experience.
