It was a ground-breaking small SUV when it was launched back then and the Mazda CX-5 will be here to stay for a long time because it has certainly found its niche among motorists all over the world.

In leads the pack in terms of sporty driving, interior appeal, city driving, and highway driving. It ranks second when it comes rear seat, and third only when it comes to cargo utility. But the Mazda CX-5 still has more than ample room for cargo despite its compact size.
