What is the highway fuel consumption of the Mazda CX-5?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Mazda CX-5 is 6.6-7.5 liters per 100 kilometers. The following is a related introduction to the Mazda CX-5: 1. Car introduction: The new Mazda CX-5 is positioned as a compact SUV, with a length, width, and height of 4555/1840/1710 (mm) and a wheelbase of 2700mm. Its engine, transmission, body, and chassis all use Skyactiv technology, making it a new mass-produced vehicle under the Skyactiv technology. 2. Design concept: The Mazda CX-5 is designed based on the Minagi concept car, with a shorter wheelbase than the CX-7, and its appearance continues Mazda's "KODO—Soul of Motion" design philosophy. In terms of body size: The length/width/height data of the Mazda CX-5 are 4555/1840/1710 (mm), and the 2700mm wheelbase can also bring a relatively spacious space performance.
I've driven my Mazda CX-5 on highways many times. For example, last time I drove 200 kilometers from Shenzhen to Huizhou alone, cruising at 100 km/h with an average fuel consumption of around 6.8 liters per 100 km. The car's Skyactiv technology is excellent, with high engine fuel efficiency – it's much more economical on highways than in cities, where fuel consumption is usually around 9 liters. Maintaining a steady speed is key; using cruise control and avoiding frequent lane changes helps. Also, pay attention to tire pressure and keep it at the manufacturer's recommended value. Low tire pressure increases rolling resistance and can raise fuel consumption to over 7 liters. Mazda officially states highway fuel consumption can be as low as 6.5 liters, but actual figures depend on the model. The 2.5L engine version might reach 7.5 liters, and older models may be slightly higher. With low wind resistance on highways, fuel consumption stays stable between 6.5 to 8 liters, making it very practical for long trips. Regular maintenance like changing air filters can also help save fuel. The CX-5 offers smooth handling and fuel efficiency, making it one of the best SUVs I've driven.
