This year is the year of the Mazda. The Japanese carmaker has already won numerous awards for producing great vehicles and among them is the all-new CX-5. The SUV was launched last month and it is already selling like hotcakes on a global scale.
The entry level CX-5 comes with a price tag of $30,030. While that might sound expensive for its class, the vehicle is worth every cent.
The CX-5 is powered by a 2.5L I4 engine that is mated to a 6-speeed automatic. The engine is driven on the AWD architecture which pulls out 184hp and 185lb-fts of torque. The CX-5 gets more impressive as it is able to return a fuel consumption range of 24-30mpg.
Just recently, we compared the CX-5 with the new Honda CR-V and it came in second place after a fierce technical contest. Despite that fact, we still feel that the CX-5 is so much better as it offers a thrilling driving experience which the CR-V couldn’t offer.
The CX-5 is also a beauty as it was designed with Mazda’s new Kodo styling. In short, the SUV is the complete package as it offers a nice balance in power, performance, fun, beauty and more importantly, fuel efficiency. Obviously, the CX-5 is the best vehicle to come from Mazda yet.
