The Mazda CX-5 squares up against the Nissan Qashqai and Ford Kuga, and has been given a refresh for 2022 to keep it up to date. You might not be able to immediately spot the styling changes, but Mazda’s engineers have focused on making the car more comfortable and more premium-feeling inside. The CX-5 won’t appeal to everyone, with no hybrid powertrains or turbocharged petrol engines, but if you’re a little bored of plainer family SUVs, then the Mazda might hit the spot. Owners certainly seem to be happy, as the CX-5 was the top-rated medium-size SUV in our 2021 Driver Power survey. So is it the car you should pick? Nicola puts it to the test.
