2016 Mazda CX-5

It is great to talk about vehicles before or as they come out.  But if you want a true test of how people feel, wait until they have been out for a year or so and then see what people think.

The Mazda CX-5 has been the most fun-to-drive, mainstream compact SUV since arriving as a 2013 model. Starting with the 2016 model year, Mazda took significant steps forward in adding driver assists and ramping up the infotainment system. Mazda also made strides improving cabin noise and ride comfort on the highway.

The Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring tops Mazda’s three trim lines, or model variants: Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring.  The GT has options for all wheel drive and comes standard with a 2.5 liter, 184 hp four cylinder engine mated with a six speed automatic transmission and two key technology packages as options.  The GT trim line Technology Packaging comprises navigation, smart city brake support (SCBS), an auto-dimming mirror with HomeLink (garage door opener), auto-leveling LED headlamps that swivel with the steering wheel, and LED fog lamps, LED daytime running lights, and LED tail lamps.

The iActivSense package, which requires the tech package, comprises adaptive cruise control with close proximity warning, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, and smart brake support with close proximity warning. Blind spot detection with rear cross traffic alert and a rear view camera are already standard, as they also are on the mid-level CX-5 Touring.
