Things we don't like

No ventilated seats or sunroof, even in top variants, which are expected in this segment

Large turning radius of 6 metres makes tight urban manoeuvring slightly cumbersome for a crossover SUV.

The hybrid RS variant is pricey, with a significantly higher cost compared to turbo-petrol variants.

Read More

The Mazda CX-5 looks more like a crossover despite having a sophisticated, contemporary appearance and outstanding road presence. It also lacks the usual SUV's butch posture. This may put off many consumers of classic SUVs.

The Mazda CX-5 has a respectable amount of space in the front and back. The boot space, though, could have been a little bit larger.

The Mazda CX-5 could have used a little more ground clearance because it is a bit low slung for an SUV. Although competent and functional, it is not large enough for an SUV of this calibre.
