If you’re in the market for a mid-size family SUV that offers luxury, comfort, space and an easy ride, the 2021 Mazda CX-5 might be right up your street. Larger than SUVs like the Nissan Qashqai, and more nimble, agile and maneuverable than traditional family SUVs like the Peugeot 5008, the CX-5 lands squarely in the goldilocks zone of being family-friendly and having space for the kids while also being nippy and small enough for quick grocery runs.

The 2021 Mazda CX-5: A Luxury Mid-Size SUV

“If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is” – that’s an often-heard cliche when somebody talks about getting the best of both worlds, but with the Mazda CX-5, you really can have your cake and eat it too. An agile and responsive SUV offering a light and nimble driving experience, the CX-5 also offers up a spacious and comfortable interior that can accommodate a full family.

Offered at a lower price than other competing Mid-Size SUVs but without compromising on comfort, the CX-5 is definitely an attractive option in its class. With a powerful engine kicking out 148 horsepower at the lowest spec level and a surprisingly high speed, you might find that this SUV feels sportier than you’d expect.

Pricing

The CX-5 is available to pick up from around $37,000, which makes it cheaper than other options in this class. It’s not a budget option in other ways, though, providing premium comfort and power and coming packed full of high-tech assists to ensure that your ride is easy and safe.

Under the Hood

The Mazda CX-5 isn’t a slouch by any means – handling responsively when cornering or trying to tuck away into those smaller street parking spots in the city. It’s light, and the powerful engine offers up enough torque and power to give you great acceleration. The intelligently tuned suspension system makes the ride smooth and comfortable for all passengers and helps to fight the body lean that comes with a lot of these SUVs.

The engine offers up a reasonably efficient miles-per-gallon, with the diesel option offering almost 50 depending on how you drive it.

Luxurious Interior

As with a lot of family-focused SUVs, the interior is where the CX-5 really shines. With generous leg and headroom all around, a big touchscreen display up front that offers parking cameras and navigation, and a great sound system, the CX-5 is a real lesson in luxury that competes with high-end SUVs at much higher price points.

With leather and soft feeling materials comprising most of the build for the interior, you’ll find yourself snuggling down into the comfortable seats and even long-distance rides won’t leave you aching and sore.

The Mazda CX-5 is a striking and surprisingly cheap option for those looking for a family SUV that offers up top-of-the-line comfort, space and luxury. Don’t be put off by the low price point, as for a mid-size SUV this is absolutely a serious competitor. If you’re looking to book a test drive or discuss financing options, call Tom Bush Mazda today!
