Reviewer score 71%
Reviewers from carmagazine have found the following***:
The CX-5 can be hustled along quickly and cleanly, but it doesn't feel as sharp and alert as we'd hoped through faster and sharper corners. The front-wheel model also feels far more incisive and responsive than the all-paw version. Visibility is good, rear accommodation is generous and Mazda continues its Karakuri packaging innovation with the Cx-5's remote-controlled flat-folding seats.
