The Mazda CX-5 is a reliable compact SUV with a modern design and powerful engines, particularly the 2.5-liter 194 hp variant that delivers good performance on both city streets and light off-road terrain. Owners report high ride comfort, relative fuel savings for the model (especially in the diesel variant), and advanced safety technology such as i-Activsense, which has received much praise. That said, the rear passenger cabin is relatively cramped compared to competitors, and the current price tag is relatively high compared to equivalent models in the local market.
