Your Mazda CX-5 questions answered
The first-generation Mazda CX-5 debuted around a decade ago, while its successor, the latest model, launched in 2017. Every CX-5 sold at Motorpoint is the latest model, with its slim LED headlights and wide grille. The CX-5 was given a facelift in 2022, and Mazda introduced some new trim levels at the same time.
At just under 4.6 metres long, the CX-5 is a little bigger than the Peugeot 3008 and Volkswagen Tiguan. Until the Mazda CX-60 came along, the CX-5 was the brand’s largest car. You shouldn’t have too much trouble slotting into a parking space as front and rear parking sensors come on every CX-5. Inside, the CX-5 has plenty of space for four or five adults to stretch out, as well as novel features like door bins shaped to carry water bottles. The design of the doors means you won’t get your legs dirty getting in and out, either.
Behind the rear seats, there’s a generous 522-litre boot. That’s on a par with the SEAT Ateca and Peugeot 3008, and bigger than the Ford Kuga and Nissan Qashqai.
The Mazda CX-5 offers an easy-to-understand engine range consisting of clever petrol and diesel engines, which use its ‘Skyactiv’ technology to improve fuel economy. If you’re looking for a hybrid SUV, the larger CX-60 comes with a frugal yet powerful plug-in hybrid engine.
By most accounts, the Mazda CX-5 doesn't have too many problems. Its petrol engines are usually very dependable, and the 2.2-litre diesel engine should be reliable if it's used and maintained properly. You'll need to do regular long journeys in a diesel CX-5 to make sure the diesel particulate filter (DPF) has a chance to burn off all the soot it collects.
Yes, we'd class the Mazda CX-5 as an SUV. Mazda uses 'CX' for all of its SUVs, and the CX-5 sits between the smaller CX-30 and the larger CX-60. As Mazda's mid-size SUV, the CX-5 rivals cars like the Nissan Qashqai, Kia Sportage and Ford Kuga.
The Mazda CX-5 is a stylish and practical SUV with a premium-feeling interior. It's reliable and good to drive, and there's a choice of petrol or diesel engines – the latter being particularly suitable if you're up and down the motorway or need to tow a caravan. All in all, the Mazda CX-5 is a pretty good family SUV.
Most CX-5s are front-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive is is available on the 184hp version of the 2.2-litre diesel engine and comes as standard on the 2.5-litre petrol engine with 194hp.
A CX-5 shouldn't be expensive to insure – the entry-level petrol starts in groups 15-17 out of 50, depending on the age of the car, and the most powerful petrol occupies group 21. The diesels span groups 22-27. That's about what you might expect for a family SUV.
Yes, as even the cheapest petrol CX-5 can tow a braked trailer weighing up to 1,800kg. All automatic petrol cars and nearly all diesel cars can tow 2,000kg; the range-topping diesel with four-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox manages 2,100kg.
The Mazda CX-5 has proven to be a reliable car. It was rated the third-best car to own in the 2021 Driver Power survey, a list of the 75 top-rated cars by owners, with reliability praised. Mazda's petrol engines are largely trouble-free and, while the diesel engines don't have the same bulletproof reputation, they will be dependable if you do plenty of long journeys and don't just drive around town.
