More impressive is the crossover’s steering-nicely weighted and full of feedback. ![]() The CX-5’s engine is buzzy but responsive and the standard 6-speed automatic gets the job done well. Under their hoods sits a 187-horsepower, 2.5-liter inline-4 that can run on half of its cylinders in certain light-load situations for 2018 to reduce fuel consumption.įront-wheel drive is standard, but all-wheel-drive CX-5s are more balanced with less wag of the steering wheel under hard acceleration. The Mazda CX-5 is available in Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring trim levels, all of which add a few goodies as standard for 2018. Overall, the 2018 CX-5 rates 6.5 out of 10. Its space is a little cramped and infotainment just isn't up to snuff. The bad news? The big stuff feels left out. Its handling has been expertly tuned, its engine is tuned for efficiency and fun, and its subtle exterior style is understated and elegant. The 2018 Mazda CX-5 compact crossover nails the details.
