2023 Mazda CX-5

REFINED, WELL-EQUIPPED, REMARKABLY UPSCALE, ONE-OWNER, NO-ACCIDENT, NONSMOKER, YOUR NEXT DAILY DRIVER AWAITS! The 2023 Mazda CX-5 has spent years quietly outclassing compact SUVs that cost thousands more, and this 2.5 S Select Package example, finished in Sonic Silver Metallic, is a clean, one-owner illustration of why. Mazda built its reputation in this segment on driving dynamics and interior quality that punch well above the CX-5's price point, and this one wears that reputation well. Standard all-wheel drive underpins every 2023 CX-5, and it's paired here with Mazda's i-Activ system, which continuously reads road conditions and adjusts power delivery before the driver ever notices a change. Owners appreciate the extra confidence it brings on wet roads or an unexpected patch of snow, without the fuel economy or ride penalty that heavier AWD systems can bring. Why Shoppers Buy This Model Shoppers cross-shopping the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Hyundai Tucson consistently gravitate toward the CX-5 for one reason: it simply feels like a nicer vehicle to drive and sit in. The steering is quicker and more precise than most compact SUVs offer, the cabin uses higher-quality materials than the segment typically delivers, and the overall experience feels closer to a small luxury crossover than an economy runabout. That reputation didn't happen by accident. Mazda has spent multiple generations refining the CX-5's chassis tuning and cabin design specifically to close the gap with premium brands, and the result is a compact SUV that holds its value well and keeps a loyal following of repeat buyers. Automotive Press and Industry Recognition Independent reviewers consistently praise the CX-5 for its lively handling, quiet and upscale-feeling cabin, and smooth six-speed automatic transmission, often citing it as the enthusiast's pick among mainstream compact SUVs. Reviewers have also noted that the CX-5's interior design and materials quality punch above its price class, giving it a more premium feel than rivals in the same segment.

Standard Features Stepping up to the S Select Package trim adds real everyday value over the base 2.5 S. This CX-5 comes with a power-adjustable driver's seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, tinted rear privacy glass, a 360-degree camera system for tight parking situations, front and rear parking sensors, and rear automatic braking -- practical upgrades that make daily driving noticeably easier without stepping up to a pricier trim. Installed Options Roof Rack Side Rails Provides a ready mounting point for a roof box, bike rack, or cargo carrier, adding real hauling flexibility for road trips and outdoor gear without needing an aftermarket installation. Mechanical Features Power comes from Mazda's 2.5-liter SKYACTIV-G four-cylinder, producing 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque -- numbers that undersell how responsive this engine actually feels, thanks to Mazda's characteristically quick throttle tuning. The six-speed automatic transmission shifts crisply and includes a manual shift mode for drivers who want more direct control. Standard i-Activ AWD, working with a center limited-slip differential, continuously monitors road conditions and adjusts torque distribution bef
