    4 out of 5 stars
    Mazda generally has a strong reputation for reliability, and the 2018 CX-5 is no exception. Owners typically report few major issues, contributing to peace of mind.
  • Maintenance (4)
    4 out of 5 stars

  • Technology (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The infotainment system is functional with a rotary controller and touchscreen capabilities (when stationary), but it lacks Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard on the Sport trim, which was a notable omission for 2018.
  • Comfort (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The seats are generally comfortable for short to medium trips, but some might find the rear legroom a bit tight compared to competitors. Ride quality is good, absorbing most road imperfections.

2018 Mazda CX-5: A Sophisticated and Engaging Compact SUV

The 2018 Mazda CX-5 continued its reputation as a driver-focused and stylish compact SUV, blending upscale design with an engaging driving experience. It offered a compelling alternative to more mainstream options, appealing to buyers who prioritized both form and function.

Highlights

  • Engine Options: The 2018 CX-5 was primarily powered by a 2.5-liter SKYACTIV-G four-cylinder engine. This engine delivered a healthy balance of performance and efficiency, producing 187 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque. For those seeking more power, Mazda offered an available 2.5-liter TURBO SKYACTIV-G engine on higher trims, boosting output to 250 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque (when using premium fuel). Both engines were paired with a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive was standard, with all-wheel drive available on all trims.
  • Advanced Safety Features: Mazda consistently placed a strong emphasis on safety, and the 2018 CX-5 was no exception. Many advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) were available, often as part of optional packages or standard on higher trims. These included:
    • Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC): This system automatically adjusts the vehicle's speed to maintain a set distance from the vehicle ahead, reducing driver fatigue on highways.
    • Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) / Smart Brake Support (SBS): These autonomous emergency braking systems can detect potential frontal collisions and automatically apply the brakes to help avoid or mitigate an impact, particularly at lower speeds (SCBS) and higher speeds (SBS).
    • Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane-Keep Assist (LKA): LDW alerts the driver if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane unintentionally, while LKA can provide gentle steering inputs to help keep the vehicle centered.
    • Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) with Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA): BSM warns the driver of vehicles in their blind spots, and RCTA alerts them of approaching traffic when backing out of a parking spot.
  • Trim Summary: The 2018 CX-5 was offered in three distinct trim levels, each building upon the previous:
    • SPORT: The entry-level trim provided a solid foundation with essential features like a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Bluetooth connectivity, and a rearview camera.
    • TOURING: This mid-tier option added a significant amount of comfort and convenience, including synthetic leather upholstery, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and an upgraded sound system.
    • GRAND TOURING: The range-topping trim elevated the CX-5 experience with premium features such as genuine leather upholstery, a power liftgate, LED headlights and fog lights, and the more potent 2.5-liter turbo engine (available).
  • Notable Aspects:
    • Premium Interior Design: The CX-5's interior was widely praised for its upscale materials, clean design, and intuitive layout, rivaling many luxury vehicles.
    • Engaging Driving Dynamics: Mazda's "Jinba Ittai" philosophy, aiming for a oneness between the driver and the car, was evident. The CX-5 offered sharp steering, well-controlled body roll, and a responsive chassis that made it enjoyable to drive on winding roads.
    • Refined Exterior Styling: The "Kodo: Soul of Motion" design language gave the CX-5 a sophisticated and athletic appearance, with flowing lines and a premium finish.
    • Available i-ACTIV AWD: Mazda's intelligent all-wheel-drive system was highly regarded for its ability to predict traction loss and seamlessly transfer power to the wheels that needed it most, enhancing stability in various conditions.

What to Expect

Owning a 2018 Mazda CX-5 generally translates to a refined and enjoyable experience. Owners can anticipate a comfortable and quiet cabin, even on longer journeys, thanks to effective sound insulation. The infotainment system is generally user-friendly, though some may find the rotary dial controller to be an acquired taste.

Maintenance: Routine maintenance for the CX-5 is typically straightforward and follows standard automotive schedules. Oil changes, filter replacements, tire rotations, and brake inspections are the most common tasks. Mazda vehicles are generally considered reliable, and parts are widely available. Expect to follow the recommended service intervals outlined in the owner's manual to ensure longevity and optimal performance.

Insurance: Insurance costs will vary based on individual factors such as driving record, location, chosen coverage levels, and the specific trim of the CX-5. As a compact SUV with advanced safety features, it's likely to fall within a moderate insurance premium range, comparable to other vehicles in its class.

Potential Considerations

  • Rear Seat and Cargo Space: While generally adequate for most families, the rear seat and cargo area might feel slightly less spacious compared to some larger competitors in the compact SUV segment. If maximum passenger and cargo capacity is a top priority, it's worth comparing the CX-5's dimensions to rivals.
  • Infotainment System Controller: While praised for its design and responsiveness, some drivers may find the COMMANDER CONTROL rotary dial for the infotainment system less intuitive than a direct touchscreen interface for all functions, especially when navigating through menus.
  • Ride Comfort on Rough Surfaces: While the ride is generally well-balanced, the CX-5's sportier tuning can lead to a slightly firmer ride on very rough or uneven road surfaces compared to some more comfort-oriented SUVs.

Overall Summary

The 2018 Mazda CX-5 stood out as a sophisticated and engaging compact SUV that offered a premium experience without the premium price tag. Its elegant design, refined interior, and surprisingly athletic driving dynamics made it a joy to drive and own. With a strong suite of available safety features and reliable performance, the CX-5 was an excellent choice for those seeking a stylish, well-equipped, and enjoyable-to-drive vehicle that punches above its weight class.
