The third-generation Mazda All-New CX-5 now has a customer-visible South African grade ladder: 2.5 Active Edition Auto FWD, 2.5 Dynamic Edition Auto FWD, 2.5 Individual Edition Auto FWD, 2.5 Homura Edition Auto AWD. Every grade uses the locally disclosed 2,488 cc naturally aspirated SKYACTIV-G petrol engine, six-speed automatic transmission, 132 kW at 6,000 rpm and 240 Nm at 4,000 rpm. The common body is 4,690 mm long, 1,860 mm wide and 1,695 mm high, with a 2,815 mm wheelbase, five seats, 466 litres behind the rear seats and 205 mm unladen ground clearance. These facts and the recorded launch prices make the lineup useful for a real grade-by-grade value comparison before ordinary retail deliveries begin. Third-generation South African CX-5 with four customer-visible local grades and recorded launch prices from R570,000 to R800,000. All four local grades use a 2,488 cc naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 132 kW and 240 Nm through a six-speed automatic. Five seats, 1,058 mm front legroom, 1,012 mm rear legroom, 466 litres of luggage space, dual-zone climate control, a digital instrument display and grade-dependent 12.9- or 15.5-inch touchscreens. The buyer should begin with repeated weekly needs: passenger count, child seats, luggage, parking space, annual distance, fuel budget, highway frequency, gravel-road use and towing. Dynamic adds larger wheels, a power tailgate, powered driver adjustment, head-up information and shift paddles. Individual adds leather, powered front seats, ventilation, a panoramic roof, a 360-degree view and a 12-speaker audio system while remaining publicly identified as FWD. Homura combines the richer cabin with AWD, off-road mode, hill-descent support, hands-free tailgate operation, heated seating and the larger central display. A buyer who needs them should compare the exact grade, not assume that one equipment label applies to the whole range. Use the recorded grade price as the finance starting point, but no comparison is final until on-road charges are itemised. The All-New CX-5 has a clearer South African buying case when its suv shape is connected to the work it must do. The useful starting points are a South African price reference of R570,000 and engine of 2.5-litre Naturally Aspirated Petrol; together they explain more than a badge or a screen size. All-New CX-5 is a South African preview rather than a confirmed retail choice; final local price, equipment and delivery timing must be confirmed before purchase
