6) Mazda CX-5
The funnest compact SUV on the market was the sixth most popular compact utility model in Canada last year. Despite the vehicle's generosity in terms of delivering driving pleasure, Mazda probably lost ground with those consumers who prioritize cargo space; the CX-5 is simply not as accommodating as its competitors.
Then, the addition of a turbo-diesel version wasn’t the success Mazda had hoped it would be, mainly because the extra cost associated with it is too high. Meanwhile the Signature version flirts awfully close with the luxury segment, without bringing the status with it.
Be that as it may, the CX-5 will be a major determinant of Mazda’s fortunes going forward. With 27,696 Canadian sales and 15,543 U.S. sales, the CX-5 is still one of the more popular compact SUVs around.
