The 2014 Mazda CX-5 does happen to be a great car for the family but it is one vehicle that often isn’t given enough appreciation or valued as much as it should be. It does come with some great looks and good sizing and this is the first vehicle to have the Kodo design language.

There is a mature drive with the 2014 Mazda CX-5 and if you want something with better agility when going around corners you will have to choose the Sport version.

It should make its way out in May and the CX-7 will go.
