MAZDA CX-5 Best Value In Its Class
Starting at just over $25,000 for the base model, the Mazda CX-5 continues to top best lists for compact SUVs for good reasons: Its base model, the Sport, offers 187 horses and it still maintains above-average fuel efficiency (31/25 highway/city). Add to that standard perks like radar cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and Mazda's signature infotainment system, and you've got yourself a comfortable ride that's not only easy to handle but fun.
MAZDA CX-5 Performance
What sets the Mazda CX-5 apart from its rivals (Honda CR-V, Volkswagen Tiguan, Toyota RAV4, to name a few), is its power for a 4-cylinder: Acceleration is zero to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds. Mazda has made its active safety driver-assist feature standard across all Mazda CX-5 models, which includes lane assist, adaptive cruise control, auto high-beam headlights, and push-button start.
MAZDA CX-5 Comfort
Numbers and specs aside, what we like most about this compact SUV is the way it feels when you drive it. This is a utility vehicle for people who enjoy comfort while driving. Mazda continues to set itself apart from its rivals by creating excellent driving experiences and interiors that remind us of high-end luxury vehicles (think Lexus, Audi, Mercedes-Benz). Not only that but the Mazda CX-5 hugs the road on curves and reduces road noise during acceleration.
MAZDA CX-5 Most Attractive vs Honda CR-V, Volkswagen Tiguan, Toyota RAV4
We might be biased, but we think the Mazda CX-5 is one of the most attractive small SUVs on the road -- sleeker and sportier than VW's boxy Tiguan and Toyota's bulky RAV4.
The Mazda CX-5 comes in five models: Sport, Touring, Grand Touring, Grand Touring Reserve, and Signature, which starts near $37,000 and boasts 320 lb-ft of torque.
