The Mazda CX-5 is a compact crossover SUV[1] produced by Mazda since 2012.[2] A successor to both the Tribute and the slightly larger CX-7,[3][4] it is Mazda's first model to feature the "Kodo" design language and the first model to be fully developed with a range of technologies branded as Skyactiv, including a rigid, lightweight platform combined with a series of engines and transmissions to reduce emissions and fuel consumption.[5][6]

Since 2019, the CX-5 is positioned above the smaller CX-30. As of 2022, depending on the region, the CX-5 is positioned right below the larger CX-50, CX-60 or the CX-8 within Mazda's crossover SUV line-up.

Since 2014, the CX-5 has consistently been Mazda’s best-selling model globally.[7] It achieved record sales in 2019, with 444,262 units sold worldwide.[8] As of March 2022, cumulative sales of the CX-5 reached around 3.5 million units.[9]
