Both axles can push

The 2.5L engine can drive both as you pull away. A driveshaft carries engine power to the rear wheels. The car automatically adjusts how much power goes to each axle.

How this works

The paths show how engine power reaches the wheels. Wheel states do not predict traction, speed or stopping distance. Mazda does not publish a fixed split or a driver-selected lock.

About these comparisons

Each illustration and link uses the build behind its number. Comparisons cover the model years and bodies in our guides. Different rows can use different trims and equipment. Missing values aren’t treated as zero; reported prices and inferred ratings aren’t ranked.

  • Lowest listed trim price in each guide, before destination, options, taxes and fees. Cab and body styles can differ.
  • Highest published output found in each guide. This compares available power, not acceleration or the trim you selected.
  • Best published combined rating found in each guide, including regular hybrids. Plug-in ratings and inferred matches are excluded.
