The 2016 Mazda CX-5 range of configurations is currently priced from $11,990.
Carsguide Contributing journalist Peter Anderson had this to say at the time: The CX-5 is one of those rare cars that doesn't rely on a rock-bottom price to keep its sales powering on. In fact, the lowest-priced variant makes up just 20 per cent of sales. Even with a recent price increase to offset the extra safety gear, the CX-5 just keeps selling at a rate that makes category giants like Toyota, Hyundai and Volkswagen extraordinarily jealous.

This is what Peter Anderson liked most about this particular version of the Mazda CX-5: Good looks, Value-for-money, Excellent dynamics
The 2016 Mazda CX-5 carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1800 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Mazda CX-5 2016 prices range from $11,770 for the basic trim level SUV Maxx (4x2) to $22,330 for the top of the range SUV Akera (4x4).
The Trax is good value for money and stacks up well against all comers in the class. The 1.4 turbo is the best engine, and it has a conventional auto instead of a CVT that most of its rivals have. Others to look at are the Suzuki S-Cross, Ford Kuga, Nissan Qashqai, Mazda CX-5 and Subaru XV.

Your need for low maintenance rules out the Europeans, Jeeps are popular but aren't as reliable as I think they should be, leaving you with the Japanese and Korean brands. The cars I would suggest you look at are the Kia Sportage, Mazda CX-5, Subaru Forester and Honda CR-V.
