CardinaleWay Mazda Corona - How Much Cargo Space Does the 2025 Mazda CX-5 Offer for Ontario, CA Families?
Practical space is a top priority for compact SUV shoppers, and the 2025 Mazda CX-5 makes everyday versatility feel both polished and simple to use. With a thoughtfully designed cargo area, flexible rear seats, and a flat loading floor, it’s built to handle school bags, sports gear, grocery runs, and weekend road trips without sacrificing the refined drive that sets Mazda apart.
Let’s break down how much room you get and how the CX-5’s smart details help you use it. Then we’ll cover a few test-drive checks that make it easy to visualize your family’s routine in the vehicle.
The 2025 Mazda CX-5 offers 29.1 cu ft of cargo space with the second row up when the floor board is in the up position. Fold the second row and lower the floor board, and capacity expands to up to 59.3 cu ft. That range gives you meaningful flexibility—carry strollers and grocery loads during the week, then switch to luggage and camping gear on Friday afternoons. The seatbacks fold down to create a long, flat load surface designed to simplify sliding boxes or coolers into place. Families around Ontario, CA will appreciate how the cargo opening height and flat floor make loading bulky items that much easier.
Inside the cabin, the CX-5’s emphasis on clarity and comfort carries over to the details that support cargo-carrying tasks. Wide-opening rear doors help when you’re managing child seats or loading awkward items. Available roof rails add an extra layer of flexibility for bikes or seasonal gear, and standard i-Activ AWD® provides confident traction when your weekend plans involve gravel roads or damp trailhead parking.
- Everyday adaptability: 29.1 cu ft behind the second row handles backpacks, groceries, and strollers without a second thought.
- Road-trip ready: Up to 59.3 cu ft with the rear seats folded accommodates coolers, tents, and luggage for long weekends.
- Flat load floor: A long, even surface simplifies sliding heavy items in and out, reducing strain and saving time.
- Family-friendly access: Wide rear door openings make it easier to install car seats or load sports bags during busy mornings.
- Confidence when loaded: Standard i-Activ AWD® and available Mi-Drive Off-Road mode enhance stability when cargo adds weight over the rear axle.
Technology and safety also make a difference when the back is full. The available 360° View Monitor and front and rear parking sensors can help you maneuver confidently in tight lots with limited rear visibility. With kids onboard, i-Activsense® features like Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Smart Brake Support add calm to hectic parking-lot routines after practice or at the grocery store.
