Pavement imperfections are isolated, road noise is minimal, and the damping is neither stiff nor floaty. This harmonious interplay of dynamics is unrivaled by its competitors. But it also soaks up rough roads without commotion and has the ride quality of crossovers that cost twice as much. Sure, its precise steering and composed cornering make for one helluva Sunday cruise. You don't need to drive the CX-5 hard to enjoy it or to appreciate its excellence. Both engines pair with a snappy six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The 256-hp turbocharged version we tested provided much quicker acceleration. It's at higher speeds, such as when trying to pass or merge onto the freeway, that it feels underpowered. The CX-5's standard 187-hp four-cylinder engine has great throttle response when pulling away from stoplights or hustling around town, so it feels quicker than it actually is. Its interior mirrors that sportiness with red accents and stitching. Its exterior is elegantly sporty with trim-specific gloss-black accents. With the upgraded 256-hp turbocharged engine, its quickness better corresponds with its athletic handling. We think the new Turbo trim best exemplifies the CX-5. The turbo four's engine horsepower increases by 6 to 256 horses when using premium fuel. The Grand Touring Reserve trim is now called Turbo, and the top-tier Signature trim has body-color cladding instead of the previous dark color. All models now come standard with all-wheel drive, and the SUV's driving behavior is more adjustable thanks to new drive-mode settings. Likewise, suspension improvements are said to make the CX-5 handle and ride even better than before. Mazda says it also retuned the transmission to be smoother and more responsive. Inside, the seats have been updated to be more supportive. Its grille also becomes more distinctive with a new three-dimensional mesh texture and wings that extend outwards toward the reshaped LED headlights. What's New for 2022?įor 2022, Mazda massages the CX-5's already attractive bodywork with smoother surfaces on the front and rear. The 2022 CX-5's transcendent traits simply outpace all of its classmates, so we put it on our 2022 Editors' Choice list. There are more practical alternatives, especially when it concerns cargo space, but no competitors can match the Mazda's elegantly styled and richly appointed interior. The CX-5's base four-cylinder engine doesn't highlight its dynamic driving personality as well as the optional turbocharged four, but all models have a ride-and-handling balance that's unrivaled in this segment. With a price tag that's much closer to a Honda CR-V’s than a Porsche Macan’s, the Mazda is accessible to the same demographic group as the former, but it's also able to the impress those who fall into the latter's tax bracket.
