2025 Mazda CX-5 KF4WLA G35 SKYACTIV-Drive i-ACTIV AWD Akera Jet Black 6 Speed Sports Automatic Wagon

2025 Mazda CX-5 G35 SKYACTIV-Drive i-ACTIV AWD Akera.

This 2025 Mazda CX-5 Akera is a highly specified demonstrator that combines the everyday practicality of a mid-size wagon with a more premium level of presentation and equipment. Finished in Jet Black, it has the confident proportions and clean, restrained design that have helped make the CX-5 a versatile choice for city driving, longer trips and general family use.

Power comes from a 2.5-litre petrol engine paired with a six-speed Sports Automatic transmission. The four-wheel-drive system provides added traction across changing road surfaces, while the selectable driving mode and active torque transfer system support a composed, adaptable driving experience. The published combined fuel consumption figure is 8.2L/100km, with urban and extra-urban figures of 10.3L/100km and 6.9L/100km respectively. A braked towing rating of 1,800kg also gives the CX-5 useful capability when matched with suitable equipment.

The Akera specification brings a substantial focus on comfort and convenience. Nappa leather seats, heated front and rear seating, ventilated front seats and a heated leather steering wheel create a more accommodating cabin through changing conditions. The driver benefits from electric adjustment with memory and lumbar support, while the front passenger seat is also height adjustable. A two-zone climate-control system helps occupants maintain individual comfort, and the electric sunroof adds extra light to the interior.

Practicality is supported by split-fold, reclining rear seats, a hands-free power tailgate and a cargo cover. Keyless entry and start, proximity central locking and remote power-window operation simplify access and loading. Nineteen-inch alloy wheels, LED headlamps and LED daytime running lamps give the exterior a distinctive appearance, while automatic lighting, rain-sensing wipers and folding heated mirrors are useful in day-to-day conditions.

Technology is well represented, with satellite navigation, a colour multifunction display, digital radio, Bluetooth connectivity and a premium 10-speaker sound system. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto provide convenient access to compatible phone functions, while wireless device charging reduces cabin clutter. A head-up display can help keep key information within the driver’s view, and the multi-function steering wheel allows common controls to be managed without reaching for the centre screen.

Its safety and driver-assistance equipment covers a broad range of situations. Front, rear and side cameras work with front and rear parking sensors and graphical parking assistance to improve visibility when manoeuvring. Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic warning, forward and rear collision warnings, reversing collision mitigation and pedestrian avoidance with braking add extra awareness around the vehicle. Adaptive cruise control with braking, lane-keeping assistance, lane-departure warning, driver-attention detection and road-sign recognition contribute to a more informed drive on busy roads and longer journeys.
