If luxury SUVs had a secret overachiever, it would be the 2023 Mazda CX-5 2.5 S Premium Plus. Stylish, refined, and surprisingly fun to drive, this SUV manages to deliver upscale comfort and sporty personality without demanding a luxury-brand payment to go with it.
From the outside, the CX-5 looks like it belongs in a much more expensive category. Sleek body lines, a bold front grille, signature LED lighting, and elegant proportions give it a clean, premium look that stands out immediately. Mazdas design philosophy keeps things simple and sophisticatedbecause when something looks this good, it doesnt need unnecessary drama.
Step inside, and the Premium Plus trim makes a strong first impression. Soft leather seating, high-end materials, real attention to detail, and a driver-focused layout create an interior that feels more luxury lounge than compact SUV. Heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and upscale finishes everywhere you look remind you this is not your average crossover.
Technology is thoughtfully integrated throughout the cabin. The infotainment system is intuitive and clean, with smartphone integration, navigation capabilities, premium audio, and advanced driver-assist features all working together seamlessly. Mazda understands that technology should make driving easiernot feel like you need a tutorial every time you start the car.
But where the 2023 Mazda CX-5 S Premium Plus really separates itself is on the road. Mazda has a reputation for building vehicles that feel connected and engaging to drive, and the CX-5 proudly continues that tradition. Steering feels sharp, handling feels athletic, and the ride strikes a near-perfect balance between comfort and responsiveness.
Under the hood, the efficient yet responsive engine delivers smooth acceleration and confident performance whether youre navigating traffic, cruising on the highway, or heading out for a weekend trip. And with available all-wheel drive, the CX-5 gives you extra confidence when the weather decides not to cooperate.
Safety is also a major focus, with advanced features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic emergency braking helping make every drive feel safer and less stressful.
What really makes the CX-5 stand out, though, is its personality. Its refined without being boring, sporty without sacrificing comfort, and luxurious without feeling excessive. Its the SUV for drivers who still enjoy driving but also want practicality, reliability, and everyday usability.
Whether youre commuting to work, loading up for a road trip, or simply running errands, the CX-5 makes even ordinary drives feel a little more elevated.
The 2023 Mazda CX-5 2.5 S Premium Plus proves that you dont need a luxury badge to enjoy a luxury experienceyou just need a vehicle designed with care, style, and attention to detail.
And honestly? Once you drive it, you may start questioning why people spend thousands more for less personality.

Reliable Choice
By Mazda Owner on 2/15/2026 7:19:00 PM
I’ve had my Mazda 2019 for seven years. It’s been dependable and easy to drive. It has a lot of safety features that has saved me a couple of times with its braking system, when vehicles darted out at a collision spot. I’ve had no issues with it. This is my 6th Mazda in my many years of driving. From the Mazda 323, 626, 3 Sport, 6, Miata, and currently the CX-5. - 5.0
Simply Superior!
By Anonymous Reviewer on 1/10/2026 10:59:41 PM
When a car is nearly perfect, it is simply superior, not perfectly superior ;-) The 2018 CX-5 has been overwhelmingly my best and favorite vehicle of all time - I have had 10+. It's quick, it handles very well, provides great feedback to the driver, is super quiet, super comfortable - have driven long, long trips in it multiple times (NM to Utah, NM to WY, NM to MI, MI to WI, WI to NM). It's a delight in the snow, rain, dry pavement. The sound system is outstanding, the utility is excellent (slightly smaller than my 2013 RAV-4 but SO MUCH BETTER and that was a really good vehicle). Everything just works and always works. I got mine retro-fitted for Apple Car Play and it works great. I had a 1983 Mazda 626 and it was awesome! I had a 2004 or 2005? Mazda 5 and it was awesome! I have had a VW and it was NOT awesome. I have had a Ford and it was NOT awesome. I had a Toyota 4Runner and it was NOT awesome. My 2013 RAV-4 was really good! But I like AWESOME :-) So my next vehicle will be...drum roll... a Mazda! - 5.0
SUPREME VALUE 360
By SPRRUNNER on 11/4/2025 11:31:06 PM
This 2025 model year marks an transitional year after incremental improvments since its inception in 2013 - Still having physical buttons, switches and knobs instead of fully integrated settings in a virtual screen . Mazda is one of a few that still has a naturally aspirated engine without turbos and a real 6 speed geared transmission with a torque converter and timing chain . Only avaliable in AWD this drivetrain is bulletproof and reliable. Many newer vehicles have timing belts which require expensive service every 60-80k and you wilk feel that in your wallet - dealers love it because when owners realize this they balk and consider trading in the vehicle they thought was a lifer - So Mazda has an impeccable interior which rivals any vehicle at any price . If you use premium fuel in the non-turbo it boosts the power to a perfect level around 200hp - - these engines are 13:1 compression ratio which are fundamentally built to diesel specs to have this - which delivers excellent gas mileage - great low rpm torque and once you get familiar - a precision power delivery drivetrain thats unbelievably responsive - Its reliable to an absurd level , fit and finish is spectacular - and it handles like a sports car - as well better than anything in its class - How is possible at this price ?? Its the lineage of continually improving the vehicle with incremental changes year to year - nothing radical - thus rhe dies and presses that make this vehicle are already paid for -thus going back to college business class - the first " widget " is the most expensive ....the last is the least ...thus we have Mazda having low production costs due to limited engineering changes - but 2026 will be very different and 2025 in my opinion is the last in its legacy of many factors - . 2026 gets longer , wider , has integrated most switches into a giant tesla esque touch screen - and nore making 26 a departure from the long run of this masterpiece .
