Exterior?
CX5 looks good..
KODO design’s flowing laguage gives the Mazda family sleek LED headlights and a shield grille. CX5 will seat 4 comfortably, 5 at a pinch.
CX5 safety?
There are airbags, active lane control, active cruise control and multi-speed AEB, including low speed reverse. CX5 rated 5 stars ANCAP.
CX5 on the road?
Clever electronics do their thing in sharper. The strange sensation soon gives way to confidence.
Smooth roads have a velvety ride, and the cabin is extremely quiet on all but the worst of chip-tarmac.
Progressive Brakes take a little getting used to. Steering and transmission are smooth and silky.
7.7seconds to a hundred seems a trifle disappointing, but if you want real performance, you’ll pay much more for a Euro-Snob.
Fuel consumption: 8.2k/100L combined, and 6.9L/100k on a highway cycle.
Conclusion:
Mazda is impressive as a brand.
The SUV range is clearly aimed at a family, but active singles will like the cargo capacity, and ease of use.
The heated seats are comfortable and luxurious.
I like it, I like it a lot.
