To date, 490,849 units have been sold in Europe and more than 3.1 million globally making it Mazda’s best-selling model. “It’s always been a hugely popular car that’s loved for its style, practicality and dynamic appeal, the second-generation car only enhanced that further and thanks to successive updates and refinements it’s remained right at the top of the class. “Since the launch of the first-generation CX-5 in 2012, this SUV has been a crucial car in the UK market,” said Mazda UK’s managing director, Jeremy Thomson. Alternatively, you could go for the range-topping GT Sport, with its brown leather upholstery, 360-degree manoeuvring camera and head-up display. That car is based on the SE-L, but it gets part-suede upholstery, black door mirror caps and the powered tailgate from the Sport model. Mazda will also sell you the Kuro special edition, which is limited to 750 examples and comes with the 163 bhp petrol engine.
But the Sport version offers even more equipment, including heated leather seats, keyless entry and a Bose sound system, as well as larger 19-inch alloy wheels. Despite being at the foot of the range, the SE-L comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, two-zone climate control and parking sensors both front and rear. The £28,830 asking price, however, bags you the ‘entry-level’ SE-L model with the 163 bhp petrol engine. The 148 bhp diesel is front-drive only and is offered on the SE-L and Sport models, while the 181 bhp version is available with Sport and GT Sport models, offering a choice of front- or all-wheel drive. That’s joined by the aforementioned 2.5-litre petrol and two diesels.
That engine joins a more conventional range of 2-litre petrol and 2.2-litre diesel engines, with a 163 bhp, front-wheel-drive petrol forming the mainstay of the line-up.
