2025 Mazda CX-5 Turbo Signature

The CX-5 is Mazda's compact crossover, a five-seat SUV that blends premium styling with a focus on driving pleasure. It competes with the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Subaru Forester, but stands apart with its upscale interior and sharper handling. The CX-5 steers with a quickness and precision that make it feel more like a sporty hatchback than a tall SUV. Inside, the cabin is trimmed with soft-touch materials and a clean, driver-focused layout that rivals more expensive luxury crossovers. Cargo space is adequate for the class, and the rear seats fold nearly flat to handle bulky loads. Its 2.5L I4 makes 227 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, with the six-speed automatic and all-wheel drive delivering smooth, confident power. The ride is firm enough to feel sporty, which is the trade for how flat it stays through corners.
