The Design of These Mazdas is Inspired by Motorsports

After years of shying away from creating go-fast cars, Mazda is taking the first steps by showing off a trio of customized models destined for the 2020 Tokyo Auto Salon.

This is the refreshed Mazda CX-5. Coming in for the 2020 model year, you won’t be finding any changes on the exterior. Instead, the changes are all happening inside. And frankly, they’re so minor that only owners of the current model will be able to spot easily.

2019 Honda CR-V SX Diesel AWD vs 2019 Mazda CX-5 AWD Skyactiv-D

It’s a rare treat to be able to drive two vehicles of the same class for a classic head-to-head comparo. Thanks to the popularity of mid-sized SUVs, the Honda CR-V and the Mazda CX-5 both are leftfield choices for buyers who prefer comfort and refinement above all else. With both of these choices equipped with a diesel powertrain and all-wheel drive, can Honda, the childhood favorite successfully take on Mazda, one of the segment’s best? Read on.

I Have a Renewed Respect for Car Sales Professionals

You can look at this as the opportunity of a lifetime or you can look at this as one of the nervous experiences you’ll ever face in your professional career. Giving a client the “walk-around” of his brand-new car is something sales professional do on a day-to-day basis, but it’s not everyday you present one in front of a motoring journalist with both the company’s president and marketing manager in tow.

Review: 2018 Mazda CX-5 AWD Sport D

Whether you like it or not, crossovers are now officially the modern-day family car. Raised, boxy, and utilitarian, they’re compromised to a degree but remain a no brainer option for buyers who want something flexible. But every now and then, there comes one that goes beyond the norm. In this case, it’s the CX-5 AWD Sport D—Mazda’s full-bodied compact crossover.

Will Mazda Philippines Bring in the Turbocharged CX-5?
