New Mazda CX-5<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is it
\n<\/strong>A five seater, \u00a0the new Mazda CX-5 is a stylish and frugal SUV with three models in its range, Executive, Sport & Sport SE.<\/p>\n

First impression of the new CX-5!<\/strong>
\nIt looks like a beefy Mazda 3 that is attractive, athletic\u00a0 and is a good choice of car for young couples and families<\/p>\n

What about the interior?<\/strong>
\nInside the high driving position means great visibility and the CX-5 is comfortable and car like.\u00a0 The interior is roomy but bland. There is a nice blend of black and charcoal surfaces and fit and finish is good throughout.<\/p>\n

And on the road?<\/strong>
\nCX-5 and the city:<\/strong> Agile handling and precise steering makes light work of tight spaces and gives the CX-5 a small car feel. .
\nCX-5 and the open road:<\/strong> Take it on the open road and it is quiet, composed and cruises happily.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

How Much?
\n<\/strong>Prices start from \u20ac25,195 for the entry level Executive and rises to \u20ac34,895 for the four wheel drive Sport SE model. Running costs are low with the CX-5 returning 4.6 litres per 100km (61 mpg) on the combined cycle. \u00a0Emissions of \u00a0just 119g\/km\u00a0means it is in \u00a0Band A for Motor Tax so will cost \u20ac160 annually.<\/p>\n

How Safe?
\n<\/strong>As far as safety is concerned no shortcuts have been taken and the \u00a0all-new CX-5 offers Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) that helps prevent low speed frontal collisions, as standard.<\/p>\n

What are my choices?
\n<\/strong>The CX-5 \u00a0comes in 3 models:
\nExecutive \u2013 <\/strong>The entry level model.
\nSport \u2013 <\/strong>Adds 17\u201dAlloy Wheels, Climate Control, Cruise Control, Bluetooth, Parking Sensors with rear camera and a 5.8\u201dtouch screen with Tom-Tom Sat Nav.
\nSport SE<\/strong> \u00a0– <\/strong>Gains 19″ Alloy wheels, Bi-xenon headlights with AFLS, Smart card remote keyless entry system, Leather seat trim (Black or Sand), Bose and nine speakers.<\/p>\n
