Things we don't like	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. Read More	Slightly dated cabin Cramped third row Read More	Unchanged powertrain from the previous model. Limited color options compared to some rivals. Read More
