The 2023 Mazda CX-5 has been recognized as the Best Compact SUV by the U.S. News & World Report. Jim Sharifi, the managing editor at U.S. News Best Cars stated, “The Mazda CX-5 combines desirable features, such as standard all-wheel drive, with a top spot in our rankings. The CX-5 also offers a competitive price and low ownership costs, but many of its best attributes are noticeable right out of the gate. Buyers will appreciate that the CX-5 really shines when it comes to interior quality, and sporty driving dynamics help it deliver a unique and rewarding driving experience”. This clearly sums up all the reasons this vehicle was awarded the best compact SUV.
