Mazda CX-5 (2026- ) for sale near Peterborough

The third-generation Mazda CX-5 is all about evolution, rather than revolution. Owners like this family SUV the way it is, so Mazda has evolved and enhanced its many attributes, instead of starting afresh. If you’re stepping up from a previous model, you will immediately notice the extra space, luxury, refinement and comfort – even if this comes at a slight cost to handling dynamism. However, if you’re used to a turbocharged or plug-in hybrid alternative, Mazda’s engine-first approach might take some getting used to. The petrol engine lacks a bit of pulling power, and it can be noisy (there's no diesel). We don’t know final prices at the time of writing, but Mazda has assured us the CX-5 will be good value, with more equipment for similar costs to the current model. All told, that makes it a good evolution of its best-selling car in the UK, even if we’d like a bit more oomph from the engine.
