The CX-5 is Mazda's compact SUV. The KE (2013 to 2016) and KF (from 2017) use 2.0- and 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G engines, the 2.5-liter turbo and in some years the 2.2-liter Skyactiv-D diesel.



The 2020 Mazda CX-5 belongs to the second-generation CX-5 (KF), built for model years 2017–2026. Most procedures are shared with the other years of this generation, but engines, options and wiring changed from year to year, so the manual is made for the 2020 model year.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2020 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “L”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At about 6 years old, a 2020 vehicle is usually past its basic warranty. Typical jobs at this age are brakes, suspension parts, fluids, the 12V battery and diagnosing sensor faults with the factory wiring diagrams.
Same generation: 2017 Mazda CX-5, 2018 Mazda CX-5, 2019 Mazda CX-5, 2021 Mazda CX-5.
