The IT Nerd

The compact SUV space is a competitive one with lots of entrants hoping to get a piece of the pie. Mazda brings a very formidable vehicle to the fight in the form of the CX-5:

From the front, it has the unique Mazda Kodo Design language that is appearing on all their vehicles.

I must admit that I really like the look of Mazda vehicles. It’s very dynamic and different without being polarizing.

Even from the side, it looks well sculpted. I also like the choice of wheels.

The back looks good as well. It’s topped off by dual tailpipes.

Honestly, you need to go to your dealer to see a CX-5. It looks good in these pictures, but it’s even better in person.

The Mazda CX-5 I have this week is the GT variant and it has every option box checked. So as a result I will get to write about a host of technology and comfort options including Mazda’s Skyactiv technology which saves you fuel while giving you lots of Zoom Zoom which Mazda is known for.

I’ll be posting a multi-part review that will cover the following sections:

• Engine, transmission, handling, fuel economy, and driving comfort
• Interior
• Technology in the vehicle
• Wrap up

Now the question is, will it scare the likes of the Toyota Rav4 or Honda CRV who are the big players in this segment? Let’s find out.
