- 2024 Mazda CX-5 pricing and features
- Diesel engine, Touring Active variant axed
- Updated mid-size SUV due in January
The 2024 Mazda CX-5 mid-size SUV has been detailed for Australia.
Due to arrive in local showrooms in January 2024, the updated CX-5 sees more equipment across the board and the deletion of the final two 'D35' diesel variants.
Earlier this year, Mazda Australia managing director Vinesh Bhindi told Wheels offering diesel was a “strategy of choice”, and the CX-5 Touring Active and Akera diesels would continue to be offered.

“Even if there's a small number of customers who want a particular powertrain because of their specific need, if we can offer it, then it makes sense to us,” he said.
But with declining sales and the recent arrival of a diesel CX-60, the CX-5 diesel has been officially axed in Australia.
A Mazda Australia spokesperson said diesel accounted for less than four per cent of CX-5 sales in 2022 and YTD 2023.
It follows the deletion of the price-leading manual transmission from the CX-5 line-up for 2023 in a rethink of slower-selling variants across Mazda Australia’s wider range over the past 12 months.

Prices have increased between $370 and $620 over the pre-update model, ranging between $36,560 and $54,970 before on-road costs.
Revisions include touchscreen functionality when using Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which now support a wireless connection for the G20 Maxx – matching higher variants.
The Touring Active variant – with lime green accents – has been deleted, while the Touring has larger 19-inch machined alloy wheels and full ‘Maztex’ black leather-accented upholstery.

The GT SP and Akera have a new mesh-pattern grille finish from the related, three-row CX-8 and the return of hands-free functionality for the electric tailgate after it was removed in mid-2022 due to a parts shortage.
A new colour, platinum quartz, replaces sonic silver, and the flagship Akera receives honeycomb-look interior inlays, replacing the previous wood finish.
VFACTS new-car sales data reveals the Mazda CX-5 is the third-best-selling mid-size internal-combustion SUV in Australia to the end of September with 16,895 registrations – down 20 per cent compared to 2022.
This places the CX-5 behind the Toyota RAV4 (22,388) and Mitsubishi Outlander (17,762) but ahead of the Hyundai Tucson (16,173), Subaru Forester (12,113) and Kia Sportage (11,113).
It is Mazda Australia’s top-selling vehicle, ahead of the BT-50 ute (13,438), CX-3 light SUV (12,239) and CX-30 small SUV (9581).
