Mazda CX-5 Touring 2017 review: snapshot

The five-seat Mazda CX-5 Touring SUV was added to the line up in March 2017, and is based on the car that was launched in 2012.

It's offered in two specs; the 2.5-litre petrol auto version with all wheel drive costs $38,990, while the 2.2-litre diesel all wheel drive version costs $41,990. All prices are before on-road costs.

The new Touring nameplate is the third step in a five-model, 12-variant range and sits above the Maxx (which ranges from $28,390 to $33,690), and the Maxx Sport (from $34,390 to $40,390), and below the GT (costing between $44,390 and $47,390) and the range-topping Akera (between $46,990 and $49,990).
