Used 2016 Mazda CX-5 for sale near Basildon

If you’re looking for a sensible family SUV, the 2016 Mazda CX-5 ticks most boxes: It’s practical, spacious, offers relatively low running costs, and comes with high safety standards – especially models equipped with the optional safety pack. On top of that, the CX-5 is one of the best SUVs out there when it comes to the driving experience, delivering precise and responsive handling while remaining comfortable and smooth. The only downsides are the slightly less than premium interior fit and finish and mildly weedy petrol engines – though the diesels are strong and economical.
## Strengths: Nimble handling and precise steering
Every version is well equipped
Excellent manual gearbox
## Weaknesses: Petrol engines are a bit weedy at low revs
The cabin doesn't match the finish quality of premium rivals
A Honda CR-V has more space for people and luggage
## Is the 2016 Mazda CX-5 better than the 2016 Kia Sportage? The 2016 Mazda CX-5 is a better car to drive than the Kia Sportage, and offers a better roster of standard safety features. However, the Kia feels like a marginally more premium product, with a better infotainment system and a much longer warranty when new.
