In the world of compact crossovers, few do it better than the CX-5. Climb inside the luxurious leather-clad cabin and enjoy a feast for the senses, from luxurious materials to a stylish design and class-leading infotainment. Pair this with a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive and it's a recipe for success.
Aiding this are two 2.5-liter engines, one with a turbocharger equipped to develop 256 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque on premium fuel.
More than that, it's a crossover built for those who still enjoy driving, with a keen chassis, great steering, and the ability to instill joy in the driver on even the shortest commutes. While it may lack the rear-seat and trunk space of more practical rivals like the Honda CR-V, it's arguably the most luxurious non-premium crossover around. But sales volumes don't determine a great car, and the CX-5 deserves to wear the tag of greatness. Just ask the Mazda CX-5, a compact crossover that deserves to be one of the USA's bestsellers, and yet in 2020, could only sell 146,420 units while its chief rival, the Toyota RAV4, managed to sell over 430,000. Competing in America's most competitive non-truck vehicle segment is no easy feat.
