Probably got a limited slip diff.
None of these are worthy of going off-road. Gravel, snow, mud is about the max. If you want an offroad vehicle, you need something like this:
CX5 diff gets destroyed at 0:07
CX5 front bumper is removed at 0:30
and that's a super mild "offroad" adventure.

Yes, do not confuse AWD with 4WD.
However, I have been astounded with the capabilities of the CX-5 AWD, and there are videos of CX-5's on youtube doing things off-road that I wouldn't dare dream of doing in mine. But a Jeep or Unimog it is not...
Mazda built a crossover primarily built for pavement (with some basic capabilities in light snow, mud and rain) essentially the people's crossover, something capable of getting around in the vast majority of people's commutes.
Then you have the jeep, which is built and engineered by a bunch of autistic children and sacrifices nearly everything in the name of off road abilities. And it's always seen being used on road. See something wrong with all this?
"Light snow and pavement"
Don't make me laugh. Too late. (lol2)
I have driven mine in many heavy snows. My mountain driveway where I lived when I bought it was dirt, steep, and treacherous when it snowed. Talk about the AWD and overall system doing a fantastic job. And yes, love the ground clearance too.
However, off-roading? I'll get a Jeep for that.
But don't short-sell the CX-5 either. "Light snow" (rlaugh)
