MAZDA CX-5

FROM $144,800 ON THE ROAD

The latest CX-5 is not an all-new model, but it has been extensively updated and comes with a host of improvements. Although cabin space is unchanged, rear occupants will now be more comfortable thanks to the new air-con vents and two-step reclining mechanism for the backseat. Meanwhile, drivers will benefit from new features that include a nicer head-up display, prettier graphics for the infotainment system and punchier sound from the hi-fi.
