Design & Presence

Mazda's Kodo design gives the CX‑5 a poised, sculpted look that favours elegance over flash, with clean surfaces and restrained chrome accents that read as premium on the road. At 4,690 mm long and 1,860 mm wide the proportions feel balanced and stable without appearing bulky. It doesn't shout for attention like some SUVs but gets noticed for tasteful detailing and a composed road presence.

Interior & Usability

Inside, materials and finishes punch above the price class with soft‑touch surfaces, tasteful stitching and well‑placed trims that lift the cabin beyond ordinary compact SUVs. The cockpit is driver‑focused with tidy controls and a clear display layout that keeps distractions low while driving. Seating is supportive enough for long distances and build quality gives a durable, premium impression.

Space & Everyday Practicality

Practical numbers are competitive: five seats, a 583‑litre boot that expands to 2,019 litres with the rear seats folded, and a 56‑litre tank that keeps refuelling stops infrequent. Rear legroom is decent for adults on medium‑length trips, though very tall passengers may notice slightly less headroom than in taller crossovers. In daily use the boot swallows grocery runs, pushchairs and weekend luggage without fuss.

Driving & Handling

The 2.5‑litre e‑SKYACTIV‑G petrol MHEV delivers 141 hp and 238 Nm, hustling the CX‑5 to 100 km/h in about 10.5 seconds and on to a 195 km/h top speed — enough pace for motorway overtakes and confident merging. Front‑wheel drive and a 1,629 kg curb weight bias the setup toward composure rather than outright sportiness, resulting in balanced steering and controlled body motions. Ride comfort is a highlight: the suspension smooths rough surfaces while keeping sufficient feedback for confident cornering in everyday driving.

Efficiency, Consumption & Range

Claimed consumption sits at 7.0 L/100 km with CO2 emissions around 157 g/km, figures that reflect the mild‑hybrid's modest assistance rather than full electrification. In mixed driving expect realistic consumption in the high sevens to low eights per 100 km, with heavier urban use nudging it higher. With a 56‑litre tank that roughly translates to an ~800 km theoretical highway range, the CX‑5 remains convenient for long trips between fill‑ups.

Assistance & Infotainment

Mazda's infotainment approach stays pragmatic: a clear screen controlled by a rotary knob keeps eyes off the road more than some touch‑only systems, and common smartphone integration covers navigation and media needs. Driver aids address the essentials — adaptive cruise, lane‑keep assistance and automated emergency braking — giving a reassuring safety net without intrusive interventions. The overall setup is straightforward and intuitive, though those seeking the latest semi‑autonomous features may find the package conservative compared with some competitors.

Who Is It For?

The CX‑5 suits buyers who prioritise refined design, high‑quality cabin materials and comfortable long‑distance manners over headline‑grabbing performance or full electrification. Families and regular commuters will appreciate the 583‑litre boot, practical dimensions and near‑800 km theoretical range between fill‑ups, while those wanting brisk acceleration or AWD capability should consider alternatives. The current lineup includes the 2.5 e‑SKYACTIV‑G petrol MHEV with 141 hp, making the CX‑5 a sensible, well‑rounded choice in the compact SUV segment.
