The Mazda CX-5 became successful by refusing to accept one of the oldest compromises in the compact SUV world: that choosing practicality means settling for something dull.Mazda approached the CX-5 with the same driver-centered thinking that built its reputation with cars like the Mazda3 and MX-5, then wrapped it in the space, seating position and everyday versatility people actually want from an SUV. By 2019, the CX-5 had become Mazda's best-selling vehicle in the United States and surpassed two million sales worldwide.This 2019 Mazda CX-5 Touring takes that formula in a particularly sharp direction, finished in Jet Black Mica over a black interior and equipped with i-ACTIV All-Wheel Drive. Jet Black Mica is more interesting than a conventional flat black; under stronger light the mica finish reveals subtle blue-flake character beneath the surface, giving the bodywork additional depth without becoming flashy. The slightly beefier tire setup also gives this CX-5 a stronger, more planted stance while still keeping the overall appearance clean and sophisticated.Underneath is Mazda's naturally aspirated 2.5-liter SKYACTIV-G four-cylinder paired with a six-speed automatic. For 2019 Mazda also made G-Vectoring Control Plus standard across the CX-5 lineup, technology designed around improving how naturally the vehicle responds to steering and weight transfer. This is where the CX-5 separates itself from many of the compact SUVs people cross-shop with it: it was engineered to feel composed and connected from behind the wheel, not simply to transport passengers from one place to another.The i-ACTIV All-Wheel Drive adds another layer of usefulness without changing the CX-5 into something it isn't. Think added confidence when pavement is wet, roads become uneven or traction changes underneath you while retaining the manageable dimensions and road manners that make a compact crossover so easy to live with every day.Inside, the Touring trim moves beyond basic transportation with a more finished cabin and thoughtful ergonomics, while this example adds navigation and a rearview camera for everyday convenience. Mazda has traditionally put unusual attention into seating position, control placement and the relationship between driver and vehicle, and that thinking is apparent as soon as you sit behind the wheel.There is substance behind the styling as well. The 2019 CX-5 earned an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ designation when equipped with the qualifying headlights, reflecting how seriously Mazda developed this generation beyond simply making it attractive.For someone who wants an SUV because they need cargo space, a higher seating position and everyday flexibility but doesn't want to feel like they surrendered driving enjoyment in the process the CX-5 remains one of the more convincing answers. This Jet Black Mica Touring adds AWD, navigation, a handsome black interior and just enough extra presence from its tire setup to make an already well-proportioned CX-5 stand apart.Financing options are available and trade-ins are welcome. Come see it in person, take it for a drive and experience why the CX-5 became such an important vehicle for Mazda.
