Review: 2024 Mazda CX-5 AWD Sport
It’s hard to believe but the current second-generation Mazda CX-5 has been around for roughly eight years now. While it’s managed to outlast some relationships, it was birthed in a completely different world back then—electrification wasn’t a buzz word and no one took Chinese car brands seriously.

It’s this sort of world the 2024 CX-5 finds itself in and one where, in some regard, it’s playing catch up.
