Mazda CX-5 2016

FROM
$11,770

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.
