    Mazda CX-5 review: NZ Exclusive First Drive

    A new generation of Mazda's best-seller is heading our way later this year. Ahead of its local launch, we travel to Spain for a first taste of the modernised, roomier and driver-focused CX5.

    Pros

    • Still one the best mainstream SUVs to drive
    • Greatly improved rear row space
    • Photos don't do the new Kodo design styling justice

    Cons

    • Touchscreen-heavy layout will challenge some
    • Only one engine option for NZ and...
    • Flagship CX-5 Takami will be slower than current model
