The 2017 Mazda CX-5 is supposed to come with three engine options. The base choice is the 2.0-liter I4 unit while the second gasoline unit that is offered is the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder powerplant. Another option that should be available for the US market is a 2.2-liter Skyactiv diesel good for 173 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque.
If you want to get most capable, performance vise version, you should opt for the 2017 Mazda CX-5 MPS model that is going to sport a 2.5-liter turbocharged unit under the hood. It is the same engine which can be found on the 2016 Mazda CX-9. According to the Daily Sun, this one delivers 250 hp and 310 pound-feet of torque.
The car with a 2.5-liter unit will feature a Dynamic Pressure Turbo that has the purpose to direct the air via two channels to the turbocharger. This will improve fuel efficiency, and the engine should offer more power.
