** Clean CARFAX **The 2016 Mazda CX-5 Sport delivers the sweet spot of agile handling, smart efficiency, and everyday practicalityperfect for commuters and families who want an SUV that still feels fun to drive. Under the hood, Mazdas SKYACTIV technology keeps things light and responsive: most Sport models pair a 2.0L 4-cylinder with a 6-speed manual (FWD), while available configurations add a 6-speed automatic and Mazdas 2.5L 4-cylinder for stronger passing power. Front-wheel drive is standard; available i-ACTIV all-wheel drive improves traction in rain and on rougher roads. The result is confident acceleration, composed ride quality, and excellent fuel economy for the class.
Refreshed for 2016, the CX-5 Sport wears a clean, athletic look with Mazdas KODO design cues, a bold grille, and sleek headlamps. 17-inch alloy wheels, body-color mirrors, and a tidy, aerodynamic profile give it a premium stance without sacrificing the compact footprint that makes city parking and tight maneuvers easy.
Inside, the cabin is simple, upscale, and driver-focused. Supportive cloth seats, manual driver adjustments, tilt/telescoping steering, and intuitive controls make long days behind the wheel comfortable. The rear bench folds 60/40 to expand a generous cargo areaabout 34 cu ft behind the second row and roughly 65 cu ft with seats foldedso groceries, strollers, sports gear, or luggage are an easy fit. Wide rear door openings and a low load floor add real-world convenience.
Technology is straightforward and user-friendly. The 2016 refresh brings an available 7-inch MAZDA CONNECT interface with a rotary Commander control, Bluetooth hands-free calling and audio, USB inputs, and a rearview camera. Steering-wheel audio/phone controls keep your focus on the drive, while available upgrades can add HD Radio, Pandora integration, and navigation on select vehicles.
Safety and stability are baked in with four-wheel disc brakes, ABS with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Brake Assist, Dynamic Stability Control, Traction Control, advanced airbags, tire-pressure monitoring, and child-seat LATCH anchors. Depending on equipment, driver-assist features such as Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Smart City Brake Support may also be includedadding confidence in traffic and tight parking lots.
Light on its feet, easy on fuel, and big on usable space, the 2016 Mazda CX-5 Sport stands out for shoppers who want crossover versatility without giving up an engaging drive or a refined, modern cabin.
