Cross Over to the Sporty Side with the 2017 CX-5

At first glance, the comparison of the CX-5 to the MX-5 Miata may not be apparent. After all, the CX-5 features a tall profile and seating for five, with a large cargo area.

But when you climb into the cockpit, the similarity starts to take shape. The accelerator pedal is on the floor instead of hanging – a feature enjoyed by driving enthusiasts – and all the controls are easily within the driver’s reach.

Power folding door mirrors, dual-zone climate control, and a 7” color touchscreen round out the performance look, but don’t make the mistake of thinking the CX-5 is all about appearances. Once you start the engine and take the CX-5 out on the road, you’re in for a surprise.

The CX-5 is outfitted with a 187-HP 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that provides a snap of acceleration from a stopped position. It can go from 0 to 60 MPH in 7.8 seconds, impressive for a vehicle of its size. This power doesn’t come at the sacrifice of fuel efficiency, as the CX-5 gets an EPA-estimated 24 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway.
