The Mazda CX-5 is an interesting newcomer to the compact 4x4/crossover party. It's the first Mazda to use SkyActiv technology, which Mazda claims saves fuel and cuts emissions. But did we match Mazda's bold fuel economy claims in our tests?

Pros and cons

  • Con: Does it compete with a lot of very talented competition?

New Mazda CX-5 reviews

The CX-5 is Mazda's first-ever true compact SUV/crossover. This market sector is constantly growing in the UK and is extremely competitive, with crossover rivals including the Nissan Qashqai, Ford Kuga and Volkswagen Tiguan.

There's no electric or hybrid powertrain here, just old-fashioned 2.0 petrol and 2.2 diesel engines, claimed to average up to 61.4mpg. But how did it perform in our fuel economy tests?

    Mazda is late to the compact 4x4/crossover party with its CX-5. But as it debuts Mazda's clever SkyAtiv eco technology, it's a fascinating newcomer. Did we match Mazda's bold fuel claims in our tests?

The CX-5 arrived in the UK in 2012, and we await owner feedback on its reliability with interest.
