- 2015 CX-5 Touring 2.5L FWD
My normal mostly highway driving, I get 30 to 31.5/mpg. If I do a lot of running around town, more stop and starts, it might drop to 28 / 29mpg. So, overall I'm pretty happy with the mileage I'm getting.
Mazda really needs to get on the game with 330e C350e and A3 e-Tron coming in and competing with Volt and Prius Prime and i3 Rex models.
They should try a wagon based on Mazda3 with diesel for long distance due to great mpg and electric battery pack with 35 miles of range for city. It would be ideal.
Add in a true sport mode and that would be amazing.
The 330e does 5.6 to 60 but has a very hefty tag of 50K+ with only 4k in rebates with a puny 14 miles range.
This 100 heat here in Charlotte is killing my gas mileage I'm down to 25 mpg from 27
I have almost 500 miles of short distance driving on my 2017 Touring FWD and average mpg shows 24.
To be honest, 21 mpg on a CX-5 is low, but if you only have 460 miles so far, you are still very early in your ownership of the car that I'm sure it will improve. I would not trust the onboard computer calculations though. It is best to manually calculate it yourself by noting how many miles you drove and how many gallons you had to fill up.about 460 miles on my 2017 CX-5 AWD ...
the trip computer say I am getting 21.4 miles to the gallon ...
21 mpg is not bad if I consider the car is still in engine break in period ...
but I am driving very conservatively ... ( slow )
I am used to getting 21 mpg in my WRX ...

If you read all 198 posts in this 14 pages thread and you'll see some CX-5 AWD owners are getting your kind of gas mileage. Remember for CX-5 AWD it consumes more fuel than a CX-5 FWD than any other compact CUVs AWD vs. FWD. Many high MPGs claimed here are FWDs.about 460 miles on my 2017 CX-5 AWD ...

AC on and San Francisco terrain...I got 26 mpg in winter with my new AWD CX-5. I'm consistently 28+, now. As good as my Impreza.
Are you all short trips, mountains, A/C on? What's your drive like?
