CardinaleWay Mazda Mesa - Is Remote Engine Start Included on the 2025 Mazda CX-5 in Mesa, AZ?
The 2025 Mazda CX-5 is built to elevate every drive in the East Valley, and many Mesa shoppers want to know how easily the cabin can be cooled before stepping inside on a warm afternoon. Remote Engine Start is supported through Mazda Connected Services and the MyMazda App, so you can start your CX-5 remotely and let the air conditioning begin cooling the cabin before you buckle up. Our team at CardinaleWay Mazda Mesa is here to explain how it works, why it matters for daily life around US 60 and Loop 202, and how to get set up quickly.
Every new 2025 Mazda CX-5 includes a complimentary one-year trial of Mazda Connected Services, which unlocks Remote Engine Start once the vehicle is registered in the MyMazda App. Because it is app-based, you can start or stop the engine from virtually anywhere you have a data connection. Combine that convenience with standard i-Activ AWD® across the 2025 CX-5 lineup and you get confidence in changing weather plus the comfort of a pre-conditioned cabin — a smart pairing for hot summers and sudden monsoon evenings in Mesa.

Mazda designed the 2025 CX-5 to make everyday driving intuitive. While Remote Engine Start prepares the cabin, in-vehicle tech like the 10.25-inch screen with Mazda Connect™ integrates Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ once you’re inside, so your maps, playlists, and calls are ready to go. And when the weather changes, standard i-Activ AWD® helps direct torque to the wheels with the most grip for added composure. If you choose a trim with Mi-Drive, you can tailor responsiveness with Normal, Sport, or Off-Road modes.
A quick note on best practices — for the fastest cooldown, set your preferred A/C settings before you turn the vehicle off. When you remote start, the system can resume those prior settings to begin cooling more effectively. Always use Remote Engine Start in accordance with local regulations, and never run the engine in an enclosed area.
If you’re comparing trims, Remote Engine Start via Mazda Connected Services is supported across the 2025 CX-5 lineup once you activate your trial in the MyMazda App. Whether you’re eyeing the responsive SKYACTIV®-G 2.5 or the lively available turbo engine, the comfort and convenience of a pre-cooled cabin fits right into your daily routine. Our product specialists can help you pair your phone, activate services, and demonstrate the feature during your test drive.
