The back end is less exciting and more reserved than the front end, but a rear roof spoiler adds a morsel of aggressive styling. One nice thing about the CX-5, which can’t be said for every other vehicle in this segment is that it has a modern, yet timeless design, rather than quirky, bizarre styling that will age quickly. Squinty LED headlights balance out the front end. A bold, chiseled hood dominates the front end, and an attractive chrome-framed grille is also quite the eye catcher. I like consistency within a brand, and Mazda leads the way in that regard.
The CX-5’s exterior is well designed and offers distinction, but also an excellent family resemblance to the other vehicles in the Mazda product line. Each one boasts enough performance and handsome, athletic styling. I’ve driven almost every vehicle in the Mazda line this year, and each one has the similar driving characteristics and styling. Case in point, my tester this week – the 2018 Mazda CX-5. Compact crossovers are here to stay, and there are some compact crossovers that I actually like. So even though I find many of them boring, or with looks like they were drawn by a seven-year-old, I have to come to grips with reality. They’re not going anywhere any time soon. Compact crossovers aren’t just a flash-in-the-pan trend, they’re a juggernaut within the auto industry.
