The 2025 Mazda remains a capable rival in the compact SUV segment with its attractive looks, polished interior, and spirited driving dynamics. Mazda’s signature Skyactiv technology provides a balance of fuel efficiency and performance. The all-wheel drive as standard ensures it is a good bet for most road conditions.
Although it doesn’t currently have a hybrid model, its fuel economy is still competitive. The interior features upscale materials and easy-to-use tech, adding to the driving experience. Safety is also at an all-time high, with such features as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking.
For the driver who wants a fun yet practical SUV, the 2025 CX-5 is still a favorite.
