2017 Mazda CX-5 - Review and Road Test

The CX-5 enters its second generation with sharper looks inside and out, enhanced technology and safety features, a strong value proposition and even a forthcoming diesel model...maybe.

For the latest Mazda CX-5 pricing and information:

I did an extended test drive of this car and was really suprised how great it drove, coming from a BMW 340i. Power is great. It's not a Lambo but the HP does well and the car feels that it has a lot more HP than it does. Love KB's reviews all the time but disagree a lot on this one. Best SUV in the segment, IMO

Kudos to Mazda designers, it is a gorgeous car that looks and feels way above its price, i own a 2015 CX5 and i still find it awesome after 3 years .

[ShellymanStudios]

Lmao, the way you touched that guy in the beginning. I love the design of the car btw.

I got my CX-5 GT on June 12, and I love it! My only disappointment is that for a 4-cylinder vehicle with 187HP, the mileage does not live up to Mazda's advertised numbers, particularly in the city, as I struggle to get 19-20 mpg. I haven't taken a long highway trip yet, so I cannot comment on highway mileage. Other than that, it is a great car! Stylish (my friends love it), quiet, feels upscale, great handling and driving dynamics, lots of technology and a great Bose audio system! What more can a girl ask for??? :-)

I have never clicked a video this fast. Thank you, KBB!

[madpistol]

Easily the best looking car in its class!

[thanehanson]

Love how you filmed this at the Laguna Niguel lake, Moulton, Avery, Niguel, Crown Valley, etc. All around my backyard. It made watching the already good review that much more entertaining.

[nickdixon]

cant wait for you guys to review the CX5 Diesel. I pray the torque makes it fun to drive

[chrisdblue]

lmfao!!!! i love the whole creeping/ kidnaping side joke. you guys are the best!!!

[christhecarguyking]

Nice new Mazda. Should start seeing a lot of these on the road.

[NovieBigSad]

Zach, you are a legend! You're becoming my favourite car reviewer

[johnarz]

Update after owning car after 5 months: still love it, but I have noticed an increase in wind noise when using the car in the highway.
Still happy with my lease, just wish I had chosen the touring model with white leather and all tech stuff.

The guys running after the intro was super funny!

I have two cx5's and I love them. They drive nice, they are fuel efficient, and they look nice. Yes, I would like a little more lumbar support. Add memory foam on lumbar section and it will be a winner.

The CX-5 is definitely a great CUV alternative for people like me who want something a little bit different than the compact CUV stalwarts: the CR-V and the RAV4.

[ricksays]

This is much better looking than its rival CUVs like the Honda CR-V. Plus it's great to know that it has a 6 speed auto transmission instead of a CVT.

[Summon-Zero]

"And the blatantly unrefined RAV-4" Lol that's perfect. Toyota is trailing a bit behind with many cars, such as the Corolla, Camry, and a couple others. Even my car as well. I hate how they deliberately did not put push button start, or keyless entry in there on a 25k car, when even the Mustang offers it as standard. And I've also got the RC knobs for climate control.
But of course, I didn't buy the car for its features.

[LooknJB]

I just rented a 2017 Nissan Rouge having less than 12k miles, the rattles and ridiculous mpg in this car made me ponder why would someone purchase it! I'm in the market for a new car and this red gem is on the list, great review!

[leedaq]

Such a great video and love the intro haha
