Mazda CX-5 Akera 2016 review: snapshot

EXPERT RATING
7
The Akera is the top-of-the-range CX-5 and adds yet more standard features to the already impressive list for a $3320 increase.

The Akera is the top-of-the-range CX-5 and adds yet more standard features to the already impressive list for a $3320 increase.

The majority of the Akera's extras are to do with safety and lighting.

The 2.0 litre is not available in the Akera so you have a choice of 2.5-litre petrol or 2.2-litre turbo-diesel, both automatic and all-wheel drive. The 2.5's kerb weight is 1630kg while the diesel adds 75kg to weigh in at 1705kg.

On top of the GT's specification, the Akera picks up radar cruise control and adaptive LED headlights.

The already-comprehensive safety feature list grows with the addition of driver attention detector (tells you to take a break if it thinks you're tired), adaptive LED headlights, forward obstruction warning, forward collision warning, lane departure warning and lane keep assist.
