Mazda CX-5

Price $32,250 – $44,950
Fuel consumption 7.7 – 10.8 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 80%(view ratings)
The CX-5 stands out from other compact SUVs with superior handling and driving dynamics. It offers two engines including a naturally aspirated 2.5-litre unit rated at 191 horsepower and a turbocharged version producing up to 256 horsepower with premium gasoline. All-wheel drive is standard. For 2024, Mazda updated content for each trim level and added a new sand-coloured Suna Edition. The CX-5 is safe and dependable, but the infotainment system continues to frustrate drivers.
