The length, width, and height dimensions of the Mazda CX5 are 4575mm/1842mm/1685mm, which are official data. The length of the Mazda CX5 refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the car. The width refers to the distance between two parallel planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the supporting plane of the vehicle. The naturally aspirated engine of the Mazda CX5 has a maximum power of 144kw and a maximum torque of 252 Nm. This engine reaches its maximum power at 6100 rpm and its maximum torque at 4000 rpm. It is equipped with direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and a cast iron cylinder block. This engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission (AT). There are national regulations regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard 'GB1589-89', the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. This means that, according to national standards, the significance of vehicle width data is to ensure enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to comply with the usage requirements of public roads.
I often drive in the city and am quite familiar with the dimensions of the Mazda CX-5. This model measures 4575mm in length, 1842mm in width, 1685mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. As a compact SUV, this size is very practical for daily use—more spacious than a small car yet not as bulky as a midsize SUV. The trunk can easily fit a stroller and two suitcases, and the back seat comfortably accommodates three adults without feeling cramped. The steering is agile, making it easy to navigate narrow alleys, and it doesn’t require oversized parking spaces. The front design is slightly long, but visibility is well-controlled, so it’s not too taxing in traffic jams. If you’re considering it for family use or commuting, the size is well-balanced—just be cautious of low garage height barriers on rainy days.
