    The compact crossover segment includes so many vehicles that most drivers can find one built to meet their needs. Mazda’s 2017 CX-5 doesn’t want to take over the category, but hopes to please shoppers seeking a small crossover with a little more luxury and sportiness than the segment-leading RAV4, CR-V, and Rogue. Its new G-Vectoring Control modulates torque to counteract the loads exerted on a car through a turn and improve steering feel, and its automatic transmission’s shift mapping makes the CX-5 more fun to drive than those category leaders.
    But the CX-5’s 2017 changes may not work for those who need to carry people or cargo. The front seats are comfortable, but the backseat will be cramped for many adults, and the CX-5’s cargo room falls significantly short of last year’s version as well as most competitors. Happily, the CX-5 does offer automatic emergency braking, and the MazdaConnect infotainment system works well, despite not supporting Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

    Just bought my CX-5 Touring with the premium package. We love it.

    I have owned Merced's ,BMW and infinity. Both Merced's and BMW were overpriced crap!. The infinity wasn't bad but that was just an expensive Nissan. I now own A 2017 Mazda CX5. Sooo far it has been the best of the 4 when it comes to ride quality And Fit and finish. It may not be the fastest of them all But when it comes Down to it It feels the sportiest. And for $ 15,000 less fully loaded with every option. So this time I dropped the badge and Chose smart and im glad I did.

    I looked at the CRV, Rogue and RAV to replace a 2015 company car which was a Escape. I also tested models from KIA (Sorento) and Hyundai (Tuscon). In the end I choose the CX-5 . Mainly personal reasons but here is why. My number 2 choice was the Rogue. The Rogue was spacious and had some neet rear cargo features. It also rode nice if maybe a little soft. I was not a fan of the CVT trans. I literally went to buy a Rogue but I arrived in the middle of the day. In surf shorts and alone. The sales people never bumped (checked if I was a possible purchase) me once. So I figured they didn't want my business and left. To give them the benefit of the doubt. Surf shorts, middle of day and no wife. They probably thought unemployed or there for service. The CRV is probably the best small cross over. But things I couldn't get past on the CRV. Though modestly more power like 8hp with the top motor. That same motor is smaller than the one in my 2002 Mini Cooper S. Sure the turbo makes power but such a small motor pushing such a heavy car. I just thought longevity issues. Also again the CVT trans. and lastly Honda paint quality seems to have gone downhill in recent years. Every Honda seems to oxidize to easy. So many faded roofs on newer Hondas. In the end the CX-5 although not the perfect utilitarian. Has what I liked in exterior styling. The fit and finish both inside and out is exceptional (it's the only car in this bunch still made in Japan). The interior does look upscale and similar to Audi if somewhat devoid of many buttons. And the handling well let's say it handles like the Mini Cooper of the bunch.

    I just bought the 2018 touring with the luxury package (Bose, electric hatch, sunroof) and I must say it’s amazing with fit and finish. It’s quiet and handles great and it’s enough space with a auto transmission which I love. Mazda did a really good job. Owning a bmw it’s just like a X3 that will last for years

    Great video. The CX-5 has taken Mazda's game to the next level - and not only in the US

    Love it! This car is beautiful on the road. I was initially going to trade in my Mazda 3 for this but may opt for the cx 9 due to the larger engine and exquisite torque not offered on the 5.

    This vehicle is pretty nice and I love it. Mazda has stepped up their game in recent years. I'm more of a Tahoe/Yukon/ Sierra/Silverado type of guy but I'd buy this.

    Can't wait for the diesel! A diesel AWD Touring with sunroof and Bose might be the sweet spot.

    I don't understand how there can be both: little trunk room AND a cramped back seat?

    Stretch the wheelbase & bring on the Diesel! According to AOA you should get the upgrade to AA & ACP. Even on previous model years.

    when will mazda convert to android/ apple carplay and stop messing around with these horrible looking infotainment systems that nobody really wants.

    LOL BMW X3? The CRV has more cargo space, better fuel economy, more power, better residual, more leg room, likely better reliability, and CarPlay/Android. It's also riding on a brand new platform, new transmission and new engine. The CX-5 on the other hand still uses the same platform, transmission, and engine from 2013, is slower, heavier, and gets worse fuel economy than the 2016 CX-5. They should try catching up to the CRV before trying to compete with BMW.
