Engines currently listed
Naturally aspirated and turbo Skyactiv-G applications through 2025 are listed as tunable after ECU confirmation. The 2.5L Turbo arrived late in calendar year 2018 and can be a 2019 model year depending on market. Diesel applications require direct verification. The 2026 new-generation e-Skyactiv G 2.5 M Hybrid is not currently supported.

What to confirm for this CX-5
- 01
Identify naturally aspirated, 2.5T or diesel hardware before using any shared CX-5 recommendation.
- 02
Verify the 2018+ naturally aspirated thermostat by physical layout before ordering.
- 03
State the drivetrain, typical load, fuel and complete modification list.
Priorities for the CX-5
Direct diesel review
Do not transfer gasoline compatibility or parts guidance to a Skyactiv-D vehicle.
Continue the build
Move from CX-5 research to a verified plan.
