The CX-5 handles itself admirably on the highway during those longer road trips, and isn't too big to drive around the city either. Safety is guaranteed when driving the CX-5, with safety features including seven airbags, blind-spot monitoring, driver-attention alert, front and rear autonomous emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and radar-guided active cruise control with stop-and-go in the higher spec models. We know from experience, that the diesel isn't sluggish either. We drove the 2.5L turbo & can attest to the fact that this engine definitely packs a punch. The non-turbo petrol gets you 6.9L/100km, while the turbo petrol gets you 7.4L/100km the diesel is a bit more fuel efficient at 5.4L/100km. There are two engines available, a 2.0L 4 cylinder petrol without or a 2.5L with turbo (one putting out 140kW/252Nm, the other 170kW/420Nm) and a 2.2L diesel that produces 140kW/450Nm. Due to its medium size it handles like a normal car, but with the higher seating position, you'll get a great view of the road ahead. The Mazda CX-5 definitely doesn't drive like a big, cumbersome SUV.
