Mazda CX-5 
The first vehicle ever designed from A to Z with SKYACTIV technology, the Mazda CX-5 instantly became a serious player in the compact SUV category. Its baseline engine is a 2.0L 155-hp, but the 2.5L is perfect for its size. With its higher ground clearance and optional AWD available on all versions, this little Mazda is ideal for our harsh winters.
