The Mazda CX-5 is an urban off-road vehicle, classified as a compact SUV. Below is the relevant content introduction: 1. In terms of appearance, the facelifted new Mazda CX-5 continues the previous KODO design, still featuring a blackened honeycomb chrome grille paired with stylish daytime running lights. 2. For the interior, it largely retains the design style of the older model. The dashboard continues with the cannon-style design, the floating central control screen is small yet refined, and the polygonal air vents are symmetrically distributed. Compared to the trendy exterior design, the CX-5's interior design appears more conventional. 3. The CX-5 is equipped with two engines: one is a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 114 kW and a maximum torque of 200 N•m. The 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 144 kW and a maximum torque of 252 N•m. Both engines are equipped with direct fuel injection technology and use aluminum alloy cylinder heads and blocks.
As an average family user, I've been driving the CX-5 for several years, which belongs to the compact SUV category. This means its size is just right, with a body length around 4.6 meters, making parking in the city convenient—unlike bulky large SUVs—while offering sufficient interior space for five people plus luggage. The rear legroom and headroom are quite generous, and the trunk can easily accommodate a stroller or camping gear. Its competitors in the same class include the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V, which also fall under this classification. In terms of driving experience, the CX-5 features precise steering and stable high-speed performance, with a combined fuel consumption of 8-9L/100km—slightly higher in the city but more economical on highways. Maintenance costs are reasonable, with routine servicing costing just a few hundred dollars, and it boasts solid safety features like automatic emergency braking and blind-spot monitoring. Overall, it's an ideal choice for families seeking practicality and comfort.
