Mazda cx-5

Mazda has redesigned the CX-5 for 2017, and our First Drive found at least 
 five reasons it should be on your compact SUV shopping list.

Registration data shows 280,000 new light-duty diesel vehicles registered 
 in 2016 with a total of 8 million on the road.

The automaker announced the CX-8 will go on sale in Japan later this year, 
 though there are no U.S. plans yet.

A 2017 redesign adds all sorts of goodies, so there's a lot more to like.

Mazda's redesigned CX-5 compact SUV aced the Insurance Institute for 
 Highway Safety's crash tests, earning Top Safety Pick Plus.

Volkswagen is all about rebuilding the brand, and its 2018 Tiguan coming 
 this summer is a critical launch.
