2016 Mazda CX-5

The Mazda CX-5 has always stood apart from the typical compact SUV by making practicality a little more enjoyable. This 2016 Mazda CX-5 Sport delivers the versatility and efficiency buyers expect from a crossover while adding the responsive handling and driver-focused personality that helped establish Mazda's reputation. With only 84,494 miles, this CX-5 has been driven more than 7,600 miles below market average. It also comes with an accident-free vehicle history and local ownership, making it an appealing example of one of the most successful compact SUVs of its generation. Finished in Crystal White Pearl Mica over a Black cloth interior, the CX-5 has a clean, athletic appearance that has aged remarkably well. The 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels and Mazda's sculpted bodywork give it a more upscale presence than you'd typically expect from an affordable compact crossover. Under the hood is Mazda's naturally aspirated SKYACTIV-G 2.5-liter four-cylinder paired with a traditional 6-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. It's a straightforward combination with no turbocharger and no CVT. Mazda's SKYACTIV engineering was designed to balance responsive performance with impressive fuel efficiency, and the CX-5 delivers an EPA-estimated 26 MPG city and 33 MPG highway. That makes it an excellent choice for someone who wants SUV practicality without SUV-like fuel costs. Where the CX-5 really separates itself from many competitors is from behind the wheel. Mazda engineered the CX-5 to feel more connected and responsive than the typical crossover, with precise steering, controlled handling, and a driving position that feels more like a well-designed car than a bulky SUV. Inside, the Sport keeps things refreshingly simple and functional. Supportive Sport Shape front seats, air conditioning, remote keyless entry, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, a telescoping steering wheel, outside temperature display, and an AM/FM/CD/HD audio system provide the everyday essentials without unnecessary complexity. There's also plenty of versatility for daily life. The elevated seating position provides good visibility, while the rear seating and flexible cargo area make the CX-5 useful for groceries, luggage, pets, outdoor equipment, or weekend trips around the Northwest. And at 84,494 miles, this one has accumulated significantly less mileage than the typical 2016 example. That matters. Finding an older compact SUV with reasonable mileage, an accident-free history, and local ownership can be difficult, especially in a segment where vehicles are often used heavily as daily drivers and family transportation.
