Mazda’s popular-selling CX-5 compact sport-ute will get a mid-cycle refresh, and it’s positively a case of the previous, not the latter — which is all fair and correct since there wasn’t a lot to complain about in the primary place. In Driving’s evaluation of 9 compact SUVs final fall, the 2015 CX-5 completed tied for second with Toyota’s RAV4 (and simply behind the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport), whereas it tied for first with the Honda CR-V amongst editors’ selections. In different phrases, that is one SUV that does most issues right.

So, the 2016 model sees the compulsory nose job, particularly a new entrance bumper, grille, also have great and fog light design. There are doing a lot of new things into interior upgrades, where the CX-5’s overabundance of plastic in the cabin space had fallen wanting a few of its rivals, distinctly Toyota’s RAV4 and the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. Mazda cites the excellent feel of the ornamentation and supplies used in addition to improvements to the performance and usefulness of the cockpit, primarily based on Mazda’s “distinctive human-machine interface (HMI).” The controls are simpler to search out and use — such as the audio system volume management, “HMI commander switch” and new electrical parking brake, that are situated to the center console. Do these modifications elevate the CX-5’s interior to the extent of its aforementioned opponents? No, however, it’s not as low cost looking (admittedly more of a perceived notion with the topline GT [$34,895] tester versus a base $22,995 GX front-wheel-drive model).
