Our sub-editor has just taken delivery of a Mazda CX-5 – and a new hat 🤠 What do we think of them?
And now for something completely different. Theis an example of an increasingly rare breed; a large SUV that isn’t electric or even hybrid powered. It relies solely on petrol for motivation, with a big engine connected to all four wheels via an automatic gearbox, and with no steering wheel paddle shifters in sight.
The version I’ve gone for, though, sits at the more specialised end of the CX-5 lineup. With its four-wheel drive system, it should make easy work of damp slipways and muddy tracks, as well as affording that last degree of security in treacherous road conditions when winter rolls in. The four-wheel drive system comes exclusively with an automatic gearbox, and while you can team this set-up with petrol or diesel power, I’ve gone for the former.
The racy theme continues in the trim level I’ve gone for, but while the GT Sport grade brings colour-coded bumper mouldings and wheelarches as well as adding a bright finish to the 19in alloy wheels, it’s more than just a package of cosmetics. In fact, it promotes the CX-5 from generously equipped to unashamedly opulent, with soft dark brown Nappa leather upholstery, front seats that are ventilated as well as heated , and wood trim on the dashboard.
