2021 Mazda CX-5 consumer reviews

i like it. it is quicker and quieter than the previous one i had. that was the 2017 model. the star review shown above should have a very good star. the car is very good

This car meets all my needs. It has a great exterior design, very comfortable and sporty interior. Amazing Bose sound system and very roomy and lots of trunk space!

This is my 2nd CX 5 - with new 7th generation technology Mazda has outdone even themselves. Great driving position, fabulous road manners and perfect size. I am extremely pleased with my 2021 CX 5.

We have owned Mazda cars for years, we traded a 2016 CX-5 for an updated 2021 CX-5... Our dedication to Mazda is a reflection of the great service Orange Park Mazda provides..

Look no further! This is it!! Stylish, roomy, comfortable, GREAT gas mileage!! A smooth ride ( we have the Grand Touring) and we couldn’t be happier!!

Once again Mazda has nailed it! The CX 5 is great value. The interior and all of the features are things you would only expect is far more expensive luxury cars. Handling and overall driving experience is great!

The car is beautiful and comfortable. It has great technology and the Bose radio is uncredible. The led headlights are very bright. Car rides smoothly.

Just leased my second Mazda, a CX-5 Grand Touring (base trim - no Prem Pkg) and I'm pretty pleased so far. Having come from a 2018 CX-9 Grand Touring, the 5's ride is a bit on the firm side, but is fine. The non-turbo engine is surprisingly peppy and punchy, especially when used with the manual / paddle shifters in Sport mode. The smartphone remote feature, 10.25" info screen and upgraded infotainment system are welcome additions, albeit one too many steps needed in the infotainment to execute relatively simple tasks. The one feature I'm disappointed with is the Bose system. It has decent sound, but comes across more muddy and muffled than I'd like, even with the available sound enhancement settings and features. To me, It just doesn't have the same crispness and depth as the Bose system that I had in the CX- 9, or those found in the Premium 3 / CX-30's I test drove (if you’re a bit of an audiophile, you might consider one of these aforementioned models). The 5 is a great CUV, and could be even better if it had the same Bose setup found in the 3 / CX-30. That would make it a home run. Maybe Mazda will up the sound game for the 5's next generation model. I'm hoping so.

We looked at several models but were guided to the CX-5 based on expert reviews. We had an older Mazda which helped with loyalty cash and are a fairly rare two Mazda household. We think reviews generally are pretty accurate about the CX-5. I wanted something in the CUV category that was not the "corporate issue" so the Mazda moved up the list just by being somewhat more unique that many of its top competitors. After driving a couple of competitors, it was obvious that the CX-5 has a level of performance that is well above its peers. I debated whether to go with the turbo but quickly disagreed with the reviews about the base engine being wimpy. We don't plan to trailer but the CX-5 has repeatedly demonstrated more than enough power to easily pass anything else when needed. The handling is much more like a sports car (former Audi A4 owner) than an SUV. The appearance is just plain stunning, esp. on the interior. The Soul Red paint turns the vehicle into a head turner on the road or a parking lot. Mazda did a nice job with the level of features at each trim level and easy increases in pricing as one steps up the product line. We went with the Touring w/ the Premium package which has nearly all of the most important features of the higher models - other than the turbo engine. The suite of safety features is impressive -and does increase as you go up the model line but even the Touring has stuff that will help keep you out of an accident and reduce driving stress - and it all works very unobtrusively. I don't mind not having a touch screen infotainment center since it would require leaning forward to touch it while the controls on the center console can be easily found with the hand without looking. The smaller interior size wasn’t as important to us but it can make the difference if you haul a lot of stuff – which we don’t. The only disappointment so far is the Yokohama Geolander tires that are not well rated. I haven't had any performance issues with them but I suspect better tires could bring road noise in the cabin down even further. It is also worth noting that the CX-5 is only made in Japan (Hiroshima) and has no U.S. content – if supporting U.S. industry matters to you. Mazda did a great job in creating a high-quality product that has some very unique characteristics in a class that is not only highly competitive but where many models stumble on one or more key attributes and still act or look a lot like each other. We are very happy with our new CX-5.

Having owned several Mazda's, it's easy to perform multiple tasks without having to take your eyes off the road. Everything from making calls, picking favorites on the radio, just to mention a couple.
