The fuel tank capacity of the Mazda CX-5 is 56 liters. The fuel tank consists of a fuel tank cap, partition, fuel gauge sensor, fuel inlet and return pipes, filler neck, and vent. Taking the 2020 Mazda CX-5 as an example, its body structure is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of 4555mm in length, 1842mm in width, and 1685mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm and a curb weight of 1514kg. The 2020 Mazda CX-5 features a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 155 PS, a maximum power of 114 kW, and a maximum torque of 200 Nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
When I test drove the new Mazda CX-5 last time, I specifically checked its fuel tank capacity. The tank is ingeniously designed at 56 liters, perfectly balancing weight distribution and range needs. A full tank gives over 600 km in city driving and easily exceeds 700 km on highways. Compared to the previous model, the new version features a recessed fuel filler cap with a more ergonomic fueling angle. I'd recommend owners refuel before the low-fuel light comes on - keeping at least 1/4 tank helps protect the fuel pump. Also, Mazda's Skyactiv technology is particular about fuel quality - using consistent 95-octane gasoline makes the engine run noticeably smoother.
Last week, I helped a friend pick up a CX-5. According to the manual, the fuel tank capacity is 56 liters. Actually, in the same class, the CR-V has 57 liters and the RAV4 has 55 liters, so Mazda's choice of a middle value is quite reasonable. I noticed a detail when refueling: the nozzle clicks into place automatically when inserted fully, and when it stops at full, there's exactly 6 liters of space left. This prevents overflow from fuel expansion in summer. For long trips, it's advisable to carry a bottle of fuel additive, as the direct injection engine tends to accumulate deposits at the bottom of the tank after 5,000 kilometers.
