The 2023 Mazda CX-5 Comes Second Place to None

Mazda is on fire, and it seems as though the automaker isn’t done turning up the heat. With the Mazda CX-30, CX-5, and CX-50 captivating the streets, the SUVs reveal a luxurious lineup without the added plush affecting enthusiasts’ wallets. However, the 2023 Mazda CX-5 is a compact SUV with a competitive edge over its contenders. 

Although competitors will refute the Mazda CX’5’s affordability, the compact SUV is considerably cheaper than other vehicles in the same segment. Funny enough, the CX-5 is considered lusher than its competitors. So in hindsight, the compact Mazda holds an advantage in the eyes of many enthusiasts. 

Everybody wants the best bang for their buck, right? With gas prices headed upstream again, selecting the best option for compact SUVs is always optimal. Most enthusiasts start by finding an affordable vehicle with an exceptional starting price, and the 2023 Mazda CX-5 is remarkable, with a base price of $26,700* (excluding taxes and fees). 

The Mazda CX-5 is more affordable than the 2023 Honda CR-V, with a starting price of $31,110. Additionally, the CX-5 2.5S Select Package and Preferred trim are more competitive than the Honda CR-V’s base model. Most importantly, the compact Mazda comes standardly equipped with an all-wheel-drive, a considerable advantage to go along with the SUV’s impeccable starting price. 

Regarding standard features, that’s another area the Mazda CX-5 conquers in the compact segment. The Japanese-oriented crossover offers radar cruise control with stop-and-go. Driving long distances in congested traffic is much easier, thanks to radar cruise control.

 Additional features for the Mazda CX-5 include blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a 10.25-inch touchscreen. Other standard features for the CX-5 include a hill-launch assist, a tire pressure monitoring system, and keyless remote entry. Although the Toyota RAV4 presents itself as the best long-term SUV, the Mazda CX-5 is significantly less expensive and offers enthusiasts more quality without breaking the bank.
