2013 Mazda CX5

The 2013 Mazda CX-5 Diesel is a pioneer of the "Skyactiv" era, characterized by its "KODO – Soul of Motion" design and a focus on driver engagement. The interior is functional and sturdy, featuring a 5.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, dual-zone climate control, and a unique 40/20/40 "Karakuri" folding rear seat system that provides excellent cargo flexibility. On the road, it feels more like a sporty hatchback than a tall SUV, thanks to its lightweight chassis and a twin-turbo setup that eliminates "turbo lag," providing immediate punch for overtaking. With a healthy 210 mm ground clearance, it handles rougher urban roads with ease, while standard safety features like Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) and Blind Spot Monitoring made it a class leader in protection for its time.
