Mazda CX-5 AWD vs FWD: What’s the Difference?

Cars have two main drivetrain configurations: front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD). In FWD vehicles, power is delivered solely to the front wheels. This is a common and economical choice, but it can struggle with traction on slippery surfaces like snow or loose gravel. Conversely, AWD distributes power to all four wheels, enhancing grip and handling in challenging conditions. On the East Coast, we are no strangers to ever changing and unpredictable weather, so AWD is the ultimate luxury for confident commuting.

The All-Conquering Standard: Are All Mazda CX-5 AWD?

Unlike some competitors who offer AWD as an optional upgrade, every 2024 Mazda CX-5, regardless of trim level, comes equipped with standard i-ACTIV AWD®. This commitment to all-weather capability makes the Mazda CX-5 2.5 S Carbon Edition with AWD a standout choice for drivers who value versatility and peace of mind.

Available Mi-Drive Technology

The Mazda CX-5 2.5 S Carbon Edition AWD can be taken to the next level with available Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) technology. The Mazda CX-5 boasts innovative Mi-Drive technology, putting the power of customization at your fingertips. With a simple switch, select from Normal, Sport, or Off-Road modes, tailoring your Mazda CX-5’s performance to match the road ahead perfectly. Feel the surge of adrenaline in Sport mode, experience the confidence of enhanced handling on uneven terrain in Off-Road mode, or optimize fuel efficiency for your daily drives with Normal mode. Mi-Drive goes beyond just adjusting settings; it fosters a deeper connection between you and your vehicle, allowing you to become one with the road.

Is the Mazda CX-5 AWD Good in Snow?

Due to its highly optimized drivetrain, the Mazda CX-5 2.5 S Carbon Edition AWD is an ideal vehicle for conquering snow. With winter around the corner, having a vehicle that inspires confidence on snow-covered roads becomes paramount. The Mazda CX-5 2.5 S Carbon Edition AWD system excels in these conditions. By proactively sending power to the wheels with the most traction, the Mazda CX-5 helps you navigate snowy or icy roads with greater stability and control. Unlike two-wheel drive vehicles that struggle for traction on snow and ice, AWD distributes power to all four wheels. This translates to superior grip, allowing you to maintain control and accelerate smoothly even on slippery surfaces. While horsepower can certainly enhance overall performance, it’s the AWD system that truly makes the difference in winter conditions. By putting more power to the pavement where it counts, AWD ensures you have the traction you need to conquer the elements, regardless of engine size.

Mazda CX-5 AWD System Explained

Wondering how to turn on AWD in the Mazda CX-5? The beauty of the Mazda CX-5’s AWD system lies in its seamless operation. You won’t find any buttons or levers to engage it. The system works intelligently in the background, adapting to road conditions in real time to ensure optimal traction. This allows you to focus on the drive and enjoy the confidence that comes with knowing your Mazda CX-5 2.5 S Carbon Edition can handle anything the road throws your way. The system continuously monitors wheel speed, road conditions, and driver input. When a loss of traction is detected, the clutch pack automatically distributes torque to the wheels with the most grip, ensuring you maintain control and stability.

Your All-Season Advantage in an SUV

Unlike some AWD systems, your Mazda CX-5’s AWD is completely automatic. No need for manual intervention — it seamlessly adapts to changing conditions, keeping you in control. AWD reacts far faster than human reflexes. By constantly monitoring traction, it distributes power to all four wheels the moment a slip is detected, ensuring you maintain stability. AWD SUVs often hold their value better than their two-wheel drive counterparts, potentially leading to a higher resale value down the road. Lastly, reduced torque steer translates to a more precise steering response, giving you a feeling of confident control when driving your Mazda CX-5 2.5 S Carbon Edition AWD.
