Fuel use 7.4 L/100 km at 236.6 c/L for unleaded 91 petrol, the Sydney average in the NRMA weekly fuel report of 5 October 2026. Pump prices change daily and vary by town, so treat the dollars as examples. The last column is a typical electric car using 17 kWh/100 km on a mostly-home mix, for comparison. Official fuel figures come from a laboratory test, so real use is usually higher, especially when towing or loaded.
| Distance a year | Fuel per year | Fuel per week | Typical electric car |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5,000 km | $875.42 | $16.84 | $348.42 |
| 10,000 km | $1,750.84 | $33.67 | $696.83 |
| 15,000 km | $2,626.26 | $50.51 | $1,045.25 |
| 20,000 km | $3,501.68 | $67.34 | $1,393.66 |
Official figures from the Green Vehicle Guide for CX-5 variants we hold. Variants are different cars, so compare like with like.

These are laboratory figures. Newer variants can have different engines or batteries, so a change is not always the same car improved.
