2013 Mazda CX-5
The official fuel economy figures of Mazda’s all-new 2013 CX-5 compact SUV that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency had rated indicated a highway mileage rating of as high as 35 miles per gallon (mpg) for some models. Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) announced that Mazda's first vehicle integrated with SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY [5] provides unmatched non-hybrid best-in-class fuel economy for all transmission and drivetrain configurations. The EPA rated the front-wheel-drive models with the standard SKYACTIV-MT six-speed manual transmission to have an estimated fuel economy of 26 city/35 highway/29 combined mpg.
When the front-wheel-drive models are fitted with the optional SKYACTIV-Drive six-speed automatic transmission, they offer an mpg rating of 26 city/32 highway/29 combined. When the all-wheel-drive models are given the standard SKYACTIV-Drive, they have an estimated fuel economy rating of 25 city/31 highway/28 combined mpg. These ratings are applicable to both Federal Tier2 Bin5 and California LEV II ULEV emissions standards. The 2013 CX-5 has a driving range that’s higher than 500 miles as it comes with a 14.8-gallon fuel tank in front-wheel-drive models and 15.3 gallons in all-wheel-drive versions.
All the 2013 CX-5 compact SUVs come with the SKYACTIV-G 2.0-liter gasoline engine, which boasts the highest compression ratio in the world to achieve a mass-built vehicle at 13:1. What this means is that more energy is generated by SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY from each gallon of gasoline compared to traditional internal combustion engines. In addition, the CX-5 is the lightest compact SUV in its class, with a total curb weight of 3,208 pounds for entry models. Meanwhile, premium trim levels could weigh as much as 3,426 pounds. The CX-5 has an all-new 4-2-1 exhaust system and could produce 155hp at 6,000 rpm and 150 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. Its redline is attained at 6,500 rpm. The 2013 CX-5 is available with either the SKYACTIV-MT six-speed manual or SKYACTIV-Drive six-speed automatic. It has a 2,000-pound towing capacity while an all-new all-wheel drive system is optional.
