The 2020 Mazda CX-5 Diesel isn’t a complete redesign, but it introduced several refinements that make it more desirable than earlier models (especially the 2017–2019 versions).

What makes the 2020 model stand out?

1. Improved refinement

Mazda made the 2020 CX-5 noticeably quieter by adding more sound insulation. Engine, road, and wind noise are better controlled, giving it a more premium feel on highways.

2. Better technology

Many 2020 models came with an 8-inch infotainment display, replacing the smaller 7-inch unit found in most earlier models. The screen is sharper, more responsive, and easier to use.

3. More advanced safety features

The 2020 model generally includes a more comprehensive suite of driver-assistance systems, such as:Adaptive Cruise ControlLane Keep AssistBlind Spot MonitoringRear Cross Traffic AlertSmart City Brake SupportDriver Attention AlertThese features may have been optional or unavailable on lower trims of earlier models.

4. Higher-quality interior

Mazda continued improving cabin materials, with softer dashboard surfaces, better trim finishes, and more comfortable seats. Higher trims also offer ventilated front seats and premium leather upholstery.

5. Refined 2.2L Skyactiv-D diesel engine

The 2.2-litre twin-turbo diesel remains the same basic engine but benefits from software and tuning updates for smoother power delivery and improved emissions. It produces approximately:190 hp450 Nm of torque.The strong torque makes it excellent for overtaking and long-distance driving while still delivering good fuel economy of around 14–17 km/L, depending on driving conditions.
