Most compact SUVs have a square shape in order to maximize interior space, thus illustrating their practicality. Mazda, on the other hand, has successfully chosen a stylish silhouette and still offers above average roominess. There’s more diversity than there used to be, as there’s a naturally-aspirated 2.5-litre engine offered exclusively on a front-wheel drive model. The fabulous 2.3-litre, 244-hp turbocharged engine is also still available.
