The 2016 Mazda CX-5 carries on with Mazda’s “zoom-zoom” personality, meaning it manages to combine a sporty and engaging drive with the usefulness of a compact SUV. The 2016 Mada CX-5 effortlessly delivers pinpoint handling, precise steering, and all the driver feedback you’d ever want from a small crossover. Add to this the available 184-hp 2.5L engine, and the 2016 CX-5 will make your daily commute a joy. But the CX-5’s main function as a compact crossover isn’t lost, as it also boasts plenty of room for the whole family and a spacey cargo area. On top of all this, the 2016 CX-5 with its 2.5L engine has an estimated 2,000-pound towing capacity when properly equipped. Various factors may impact towing capacity, including weight of passengers, cargo, and options/accessories.
The CX-5 is a different type of compact crossover. Instead of focusing solely on functionality, the CX-5 also includes a healthy dose of sporting action with a firm suspension system and precision steering. The 2016 CX-5 will surely please your inner performance enthusiast, whether carving up a curvy back road or just on your daily commute to the office.
The 2015 Mazda CX-5 gives you two engine options. If frugal performance is your goal, the base 155-hp 2.0L four-cylinder is a good option, thanks to an EPA-estimated 26 mpg city, 34 mpg highway, and 29 mpg combined.
Manual transmissions are getting scarce, especially in crossovers. the 2016 CX-5 maintains tradition with its standard six-speed manual transmission mated to the base 2.0L engine. This allows you to better connect with the vehicle and puts you more firmly in control of how the car acts on the road.
The 2016 Mazda CX-5 will surely check all your boxes regarding styling. Mazda did a great job giving the CX-5 a striking and sporty body that’s not too over the top, so it’ll also age well. This will give you an SUV you’ll be happy to look at day in and day out.
The 2016 Mazda CX-5 may have a compact footprint, but it’s hiding a spacious interior under that small body.

They also have 41 inches of legroom, accommodating just about anyone. The rear seats are very comfortable and offer a great seating position, too. Plus, they offer 39.3 inches of legroom, making them suitable for kids and adults.
