What’s New for the 2016 Mazda CX-5? 2016 Mazda CX 5 Reviewįor 2016, the Mazda CX-5’s update includes minor styling changes, enhanced materials, better suspension tuning, more sound insulation, and a new infotainment interface.īluetooth is available, as are LED headlights, dynamic cruise control, a rear cross-traffic warning system, and lane departure warning.Ī standard rearview camera (excluding manual-transmission Sport) is also included in the Touring and Grand Touring variants (produced after January 2016), as well as heated seats and navigation. The 2016 Mazda CX-5 is one of the best all-around vehicles in this class, and it deserves serious consideration, despite the fact that each of its rivals has certain benefits. We suggest investigating the Jeep Cherokee and Subaru Forester if you’re interested in a tiny crossover SUV that can handle some off-road treks. The Toyota RAV4 has a spacious cabin that is particularly nice on long trips. In addition, the Ford Escape offers a comfortable interior with the ability of a powerful, turbocharged engine. While it isn’t as sporty as the CX-5, it’s a fantastic alternative.

The Honda CR-V offers a large cabin, a high-quality interior, and a pleasant, laidback driving character. In the compact crossover class, there is a wide range of excellent options, so it’s important to investigate your alternatives before choosing. Audio isn’t the strongest suit of even the upgraded Bose system. If complete passenger loads and/or tough driving are planned, we strongly recommend the 2.5-liter engine.Īudio systems in the Mazda CX-5 are also substandard. It has no advantage over the significantly better 2.5-liter engine in terms of power, despite its relatively fuel-efficient design. The biggest weak point in this otherwise great package is the base 2.0-liter engine with the manual gearbox, which comes with a Sport trim level. The rear seat received a larger seat-bottom cushion, while Mazda also enhanced the seats. Larger door pockets and a larger console bin provide additional cabin storage. An upgraded infotainment system, as well as suspension tuning changes for a more comfortable ride, are among the improvements.
