The model
Read full reviewThe Mazda CX-5 is one of the best large SUVs you can buy. Why? Well, while it lacks the additional practicality of seven seats the Peugeot 5008 comes with as standard, it's well priced, very well equipped, safe and classy inside. The 2.0 petrol in entry-level SE-L trim offers the best value for money, but the diesels are well worth a look if you do above average mileage.
The trim
See full equipmentIf your budget can stretch to it, Sport is a great way to get lots of extra luxuries, and Mazda expects this to be the bestselling trim. It includes 19in alloy wheels, a reversing camera, black leather seats, wireless phone-charging, a clear head-up display, a digital driver display, a heated steering wheel and wiper de-ice.
The engine
See full engine specsThanks to the additional torque on offer, the entry-level diesel engine pulls far more strongly from a standstill and actually covers 0-60mph in almost the same time as the most powerful petrol engine. On top of that, official figures say it’ll manage 50mpg, making it a great choice for people who cover lots of miles.
