How we verify Mazda CX-5 performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Mazda CX-5 trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Mazda CX-5 performance FAQs

6 questions

The quickest Mazda CX-5 on record is the 2021 Mazda CX-5 Signature, which runs 0–60 mph in 6.1 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 14.70 seconds at 94.0 mph.

The slowest recorded Mazda CX-5 is the 2013 Mazda CX-5 Sport, which takes 9.6 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 17.20 seconds in the quarter.

Averaged across all 30 verified runs, a Mazda CX-5 reaches 60 mph in 8.00 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 16.15 seconds at roughly 85.8 mph.

We have verified test data for 10 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.

Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Motor Trend and Motor Week. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.

0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every verified run we can find — so you see the range of what a Mazda CX-5 can do, not a single marketing claim.
