The world is moving towards electrification and a side effect of this is that traditional gas-powered engines are downsizing. More and more four-cylinder engines are popping up, with forced induction making them just as powerful as the V-shaped engines that they’re replacing. This has, of course, caused quite a stir.

It’s getting harder to find a six-cylinder engine in a car nowadays, let alone a sedan. Manufacturers are favoring turbocharged four cylinders for optimal fuel efficiency and power. It may seem like the days of the stout V-6 or inline-six engine and relying on displacement for more power are gone. But think again.

If you’re looking for a “cheap” 2025 Mazda CX-5, a familiar trim returns. New car shopping has been a fairly expensive prospect these days, especially if you’re shopping in hotly competitive segments like compact crossovers. Automakers have been removing more affordable base trims from their lineups, effectively hiking the entry-level price tag like the Mazda CX-5 did for the 2024 model year. Yet here we are several months later, and the company is doing an about-face: Reintroducing its S trim (with no special affixes like ‘Select’ or ‘Premium Plus’) for 2025.

The 2025 Mazda CX-5 is one model to reverse the trend of disappearing base models. We'd guess Mazda wants to keep the entry-level point below a shopper's psychological $30,000 bright line, so product planners restored the S trim that they took away only a year ago for the 2024 model year. Last August, the S Select set the floor at $30,675; increases in the MSRP and destination charge since then have driven the S Select up to $31,320 for 2025. Every CX-5 packs a respectable amount of standard equipment, so buyers who hop back on the restored S train won't be confronted by the savings everywhere they look. In the entry-level, LED headlights and rain-sensing wipers are included, as well as a leather-wrapped steering wheel, reclining rear seats, a 10.25-inch infotainment display, dual front USB-C ports, wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, the i-Activsense driver assistance suite with high points like radar-based cruise control and rear cross traffic alert, and all-wheel drive. The S also sits on 17-inch alloy wheels.
