Mazda CX-5 2022 Review

The Mazda CX-5 is a small SUV that's received high marks from MatoCar editors due to its sleek styling and impressive handling characteristics. It is currently ranked as our No. 2 small SUV, the Honda CR-V edging it out by a thin margin. The CX-5 also boasts a premium-feeling interior and a strong optional turbocharged engine that wouldn't seem out of place in a luxury vehicle.

The CX-5 received a couple notable upgrades for 2021. Its rotary dial-based infotainment system was upgraded with Mazda's newest interface and a wider 10.25-inch screen. A new Carbon Edition trim also debuted, which is a less expensive entry point to the turbocharged engine if you're willing to forgo some of the luxury features found in the higher-end trims.

For 2022, it's unlikely that Mazda will change anything significant on the CX-5 because there's a chance there could be an all-new generation on the way in 2023.

If you're interested in the Mazda CX-5, one of our favorite small SUVs, there's no need to wait for the 2022 model since it should be pretty similar to what's in dealer showrooms now. Check out all the details on the 2021 model and reach out to your nearest dealership to take a test drive.
