Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on the Turbo Signature, along with a SiriusXM three-year Traffic and Travel Link subscription. The turbo engine, included with the six-speed automatic with sport mode and manual-shift feature on our Signature tester, gave our CX-5 the feel of a V-6, and there was no noticeable lag as the turbocharger spooled up during hard acceleration.

Also for 2022, there are a few minor styling changes, and the model lineup has been revised, with new trim-level names. Previously, all-wheel drive was offered for $1,400 extra on any of the models that had standard front-wheel drive.
