About the Mazda CX-5
The Mazda CX-5 is one of the most fun to drive crossover entrants within its class due to its agile handling and capable powertrain. Introduced in 2012, the CX-5 is a latecomer to the compact SUV scene. The automaker increased the models appeal through sporty styling and impressive road manners, making it a favorite for small families. Its long list of standard features yet reasonable pricing within the Kenyan market is another reason more of these vehicles replaced competitors such as the Vanguard RAV 4 and the Nissan Juke.
Next up is more about the Mazda CX-5.
What are the main features of the Mazda CX-5?
The CX-5 was the first model to incorporate Mazda’s new design theme, ‘KODO- Soul of motion’. It featured a bolder front and dynamic styling attributes that illustrated a strong sense of agility. The models from 2017 stand out particularly following a slight redesign of the grille, headlights and fascia to make it sportier but with a touch of sophistication. A touch screen, Android Auto and Apple Car Play are standard for the CX-5, along with M-Drive selector control, a revised suspension and wireless charging.
How spacious is the Mazda CX-5
The CX-5 Kodo design language continues with stretched cockpit lines and a metallic finish in the cabin. The seating is characterized as between that of a sedan and a sport-utility. It is high enough to give good visibility but low, so the occupants do not have to step up. Hollowed out seatbacks in the front also provide sufficient space for rear-seat legroom. As for cargo space, passengers can get about 31 cubic feet behind the second row, and that extends to 60 when the back seats are folded.
Is the Mazda CX-5 fuel efficient?
In Kenya, the Mazda CX-5 is available with three engine alternatives, including the Skyactiv-D 2.2-litre diesel, 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G four-cylinder and 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G four-cylinder. Customers can choose between a six-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission. The 2.0 petrol option consumes between 16 to 19 kilometers per liter while the 2500cc alternative maintains 14 to 17 km per liter. Considering the diesel variant is the most fuel economical, the 2.2 D returns 21.74 km per liter.
What is the ground clearance of the Mazda CX-5?
The ground clearance is not the best attribute of the CX-5. Its underbody is 215.9 mm, meaning drivers have to be careful when going off-road. The more recent models have even lower figures at 193 mm which means the new CX-5 would not be the best option to brave muddy upcountry roads and other unforgiving terrain.
Can you find spare parts for a used Mazda CX-5 in Kenya?
The Mazda CX-5 has been in the Kenyan market since 2013, and it has become one of the most common crossovers. However, body parts such as headlights are on the expensive end of the spectrum.
Is the Mazda CX-5 a reliable car? Does it Have Good Resale Value?
On average, the Mazda CX-5 will depreciate at a rate of 45% after five years. It is not exactly the best, but it is not the worst either. The CX-5 does average when it comes to holdings value compared to similar competitors from Toyota and Honda. Overall the most common problems are related to engine heating and the diesel particulate filter. Apart from these isolated issues, the Mazda CX-5 appears to be one of the appropriate crossover options that one can go for in the Kenyan market. The pricing as well is affordable considering the features, performance and safety attributes included.
