Crossovers bring together the positive traits of a sedan and the qualities of a larger SUV. Some of these autos succeed in making this combination work, while others do not. With its i-Activ AWD, the 2021 Mazda CX-5 provides both the all-weather performance that drivers expect from a utility vehicle and the nimble handling of a smaller car.We will take a closer look at how this unique all-wheel-drive system affects the performance of the 2021 Mazda CX-5 Kuro.
