The best SUV in the market

If you are looking for a safe, stylish, and simple car to drive, the Mazda CX-5 Touring Preferred is your best choice. It gives you leather seats, blind spot monitoring, Apple Carplay, power gate lifting, keyless entry, remote start and so much more. For a reasonable price you can get everything you need to enjoy a short or a long ride. The safety features are one of the highest in the market and the style of the car is comparable to any high-end vehicle for this class, size and price.

Great CUV, but the Bose stereo, not so much ...

The CX-5 Grand Touring (base trim - no Prem Pkg) is my second Mazda to lease, and overall I'm pretty pleased. Having come from a larger 2018 CX-9 Grand Touring, the 5 is a great CUV that fit within my current budget. Its ride is a bit on the firm side, which will take time getting used to, after having the smooth ride of the 9. The non-turbo engine, however, is peppy and punchy, especially when used with the manual / paddle shifters in Sport mode. The larger 10.25" info screen is also really great. The one feature that falls terribly short, in my opinion, is the Bose stereo. The sound, even with the treble at its highest setting, sounds muddy and muffled, and doesn't have the same crispness and depth as the Bose systems in the 9, the new 3's and the very new CX-30. Being in year five of its current generation, the 5 would benefit GREATLY from the same Bose 12-speaker system found in the new 3 and CX-30. That particular upgrade would raise the bar for this CUV sky-high.

While this car was originally my third choice––and the last make and model that I test drove––I immediately was sold on the comfort, style, and performance. I drove it 1700 miles within two weeks of the purchase, and it was the most comfortable ride I've ever had. The safety features, the sound system, and so many other factors made the trek through mountain passes and the desert very enjoyable.

Very Happy with the car so far. The CX-5 has plenty of power with the standard engine. The car was purchased for my wife and she is the main driver. She loves the Red color and the optional moon roof and the Alloy wheels. The CX-5 has plenty of room for even for big guys like me. I have driven the car about 100 miles so far and it handles great. My wife on the other hand is still getting used to the handling. Her last car was a Ford Fusion which had a much different ride. She just needs to drive it more to get used to the different handling. I have a Chevy Traverse which has a similar ride but softer because its a larger vehicle. Overall we are both happy with the purchase. Wayne Mazda in NJ gave us a good deal and we would recommend them. We narrowed down our decision to three vehicles. The CX-5, RAV 4, and Nissan Rogue. I had already made up my mind but my wife was undecided until she saw and I test drove the CX-5. The style and color won her over.

Great SUV, but Needs to Address Issue with Stereo

2021 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring Reserve 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

I have had my 2021 CX-5 for several days now and for the most part think it is perfect. I purchased a white one in the Grand Touring Reserve trim and it has everything I could ever need. The build quality on literally everything is superb. The one issue I have with it, is in how the stereo system is controlled. There is no way to easily switch through my favorited XM stations without taking my eyes off the road and going through multiple actions on the console control system. Oddly enough, there is a way to semi-easily flip through the 100+ other stations that I don't listen to. Both the Mazda3 and the CX-30 have functionality on the volume knob that allows for switching through your favorites by pressing left or right, but when you pay more money for the CX-5, this isn't included. Overall, I love the CX-5, but if I would have known about this issue before my purchase, it may have been a deal breaker, since it creates a major distraction anytime I want to change the radio station to one of my preset favorites.
