Mazda's representative in this very important niche is still considered one of the best in it, in good part because of the driving pleasure it delivers. After all, Mazda is the creator of the MX-5, so a little adrenaline in a family-oriented SUV isn’t out place. The CX-5 is particularly interesting with its turbocharged engine.

Note also that the model is getting some cosmetic and technical changes for 2022. While the CX-5 is getting older, it's still quite attractive while we await the next generation.
