Mazda’s first EV (if you don’t count the MX-30 compliance car), the 2025 electric CX-5 is expected to be a fusion of Mazda’s renowned KODO design philosophy and advanced electric technology. This crossover, aligning with Mazda’s ongoing refresh spree, might also offer a hybrid variant, broadening its appeal.

To stay ahead of the competition, Mazda plans to adopt the NACS (Tesla) charging standard by 2025. This shift will allow Mazda EV owners to access Tesla’s extensive Supercharger network, improving the convenience of Mazda EVs.

A Unique Powertrain Twist

Mazda has already dipped their toes with rotary range extenders with the MX-30, and it seems they are now ready to fully submerge themselves. The rumored rotary range extender could provide a unique solution to range anxiety to the 2025 CX-30, offering efficiency and fewer nervous glances to the battery meter.

Pricing & Availability

Knowing Mazda, the 2025 CX-5 will most likely be competitively positioned in the EV market, potentially starting in the $40,000 range. This pricing strategy would place it in direct competition with similar compact SUV EV models like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Ford Mustang Mach-E.

The 2025 Mazda CX-5 won’t be available until 2025. In the meantime, check out our extensive inventory of fantastic Mazda vehicles here at Safford Mazda of Fredericksburg, VA!
