2014 CX-5 Touring FWD Tech Pkg
Got this information from AllData, fyi, I've got access to it, so I can get TSB info and other such information. 2014 model isn't in AllData yet :(

Anyhow, here's how to figure out what your VIN numbers mean: 185276480.jpg
 
Just a note: The 10th digit represents the year alphabetically. The example shows that D = 2013. Therefore, E = 2014. When they get to Z, they start over at A.

The only exception is that they skip over letters than could be mistaken for actual numbers, such as O.

Also, just to break it down a little more, the first letter represents the country of manufacture. In this case J = Japan.
