2013 Mazda CX-5 FWD 4dr Auto Touring

Dressed in sleek Black, this 2013 Mazda CX-5 brings a little extra style to the everyday drive without trying too hard. It’s the kind of wagon-shaped crossover that feels just as at home zipping through weekday traffic as it does heading out of town for a weekend reset—practical, nimble, and easy to live with.

Under the hood is a gasoline 4-cylinder SKYACTIV-G engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission that includes a sport mode for those moments when your commute could use a bit more personality. Front-wheel drive, engine-speed-sensing power steering, and a well-sorted independent suspension (front and rear) help it feel composed and confident, while hill hold assist makes stop-and-go hills less of a juggling act. When it’s time to stop, you’ve got power-assisted disc brakes all around backed by ABS, electronic brakeforce distribution, and brake assist.

From the outside, the CX-5’s look is clean and athletic, with aluminum alloy wheels, fog lights, daytime running lights, a rear roof spoiler, privacy glass, and a rear intermittent wiper ready for whatever the forecast decides. Dual stainless exhaust outlets add a subtle finishing touch.

Inside, it’s thoughtfully laid out for real life. Push-button start gets you going quickly, and the driver’s window offers convenient one-touch up/down. The 40/20/40 split rear seats fold down when you need to swap passengers for cargo, and there’s even a rear seat armrest with cupholders for the back-seat crew. Up front, you’ll find a center console with storage, multiple cupholders and power outlets, and a handy overhead sunglasses holder. The 5.8" color monitor and trip computer keep key info in view, while the AM/FM stereo with CD/MP3, HD Radio, USB, and aux input lets you bring your soundtrack along for the ride.

Safety is well represented too, with multiple airbags, side-impact protection, LATCH, a rearview camera, and blind spot monitoring.

And for extra peace of mind, a CARFAX report is available for this Mazda CX-5.
