Just 15 percent of CX-5 buyers will go for a front-drive variant, each
relying on the revvy 2.0-litre. However, if the price bracket is right but not
the powertrain, Mazda offers a Maxx AWD with a 140kW/251Nm 2.5-litre
engine for $33,690 – cheaper than the FWD Maxx Sport. But you’d lose
alloys, rear vents, auto lights/wipers, a rear centre armrest with USB slots,
dual-zone climate and sat-nav.
