The most affordable pair – 2.0 GL and 2.0 GLS – is powered by the same 2.0 litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine, producing 162 hp at 6,000 rpm and 213 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. Both 2.0 models sit on 17-inch alloys with 225/65 profile rubbers, while the rest ride on 19-inch items with 225/55 Toyo Proxes rubbers. GALLERY: 2019 Mazda CX-5 2.5 Turbo GLS AWD in Soul Red Crystal
