For small families or young professionals in search of an affordable vehicle offering high fuel economy, there’s no better choice than the 2014 Mazda CX-5 Touring. This compact crossover is inexpensive to keep on the road, plus it boasts spirited driving dynamics that are well-suited for regular commuting or extended road trips.
Â
Priced at $12,971, the 2014 CX-5 is powered by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine good for 184 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque. Equipped with front-wheel-drive and a six-speed automatic transmission, it gets an incredible 27 mpg combined (25 mpg city/32 mpg highway). This platform provides snappy acceleration too. In Edmunds tests, the CX-5 went from zero to 60 mph in 8.3 seconds, which they claim is a fairly quick time for the segment.
Â
The Touring trim level is also very well-equipped for the price, delivering great value to drivers in search of included features. On the exterior are 17-inch wheels, a rearview camera, and a blind-spot warning system, as well as keyless entry for your convenience. Inside the cabin, the seats are swathed in upgraded cloth upholstery, while the driver’s seat is six-way powered for your comfort. This trim level also boasts a leather-wrapped steering wheel and the rear row features a 40/20/40-split-folding bench, which expands the cargo capacity of the trunk from 34 cubic feet of volume to a full 65 cubic feet when folded down. The Technology Package is a nice add-on too with automatic and adaptive bi-xenon headlights, an auto-dimming mirror, satellite radio and a navigation system.
