Mazda has always been a brand that does things differently.
In an era where everyone was ditching big engines for small cylinder hybrids, Mazda rocked up with a 3.3-litre V6 diesel in its CX-60.
Its argument, more or less, was that a bigger mill, featuring cylinder deactivation which effectively turned parts of it off when not required, would be less strained for performance, so wouldn’t need to be thrashed, resulting in superior fuel economy.
That was less than three-and-a-half years ago – and the same lump continues to be available today. Sadly, it’s not offered in the car we’re testing here, but the engine we do have is still bigger than most of the equivalents you’ll find in modern family cars.
The CX-5 was first unveiled in 2012, followed by the much-improved second-generation model just four years later. It has lasted twice as long as the original, but now, after an eight-year run, the third-generation model is finally here – and it’s larger in just about every dimension you can name.
As a result, we're expecting better practicality, a bigger boot, hopefully some respectable performance and – something that's a Mazda trademark – surprisingly good handling from an understated, and arguably underrated, brand.
Mazdas have sophisticated interiors, too, though the updates for the new CX-5 have left us a tad twitchy about what to expect.
Does it still have the Mazda Magic?
We’ve taken a couple of examples for a test run to find out.
