2019 Mazda CX-5: A Crossover that Makes a Lot of Sense


The small crossover market has been burgeoning in recent years, in part because of vehicles like the 2019 Mazda CX-5. It is compact but still roomy enough for regular life stuff, gets good gas mileage and offers seating for five.
The CX-5 comes in four trim levels: Sport, Touring, Grand Touring and Signature. The Signature model is new and features Nappa leather seats and satin chrome/wood-grain trim on the interior.
Under the hood of the CX-5 is a standard 2.5-liter SKYACTIV four-cylinder engine that makes 187 horsepower and is linked to a six-speed automatic or manual transmission.  Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive being optional. 
Another option is a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder that makes 227 horsepower. 
Fuel economy is rated at 22 mpg city and 27 highway for turbocharged models with all-wheel drive, and 25 and 31 for models with naturally aspirated engines and front-wheel drive.
The interior is comfortable and more roomy than you might think. 
Exterior styling flows nicely from front to back, with the retention of the fluid design language that Mazda has adopted over the past few years. 
Pricing on the CX-5 ranges from about $26,000 to just under $40,000.
For a stylish small crossover that offers reliable performance, the Mazda CX-5 makes a lot of sense.
