The 2023 Mazda CX-5 Maxx Sport is the sensible middle child that quietly aces the driving test. Its 2.5-litre petrol and smooth auto deliver enough shove for school runs and sneaky backroad detours, with FWD or AWD depending on how muddy your weekends get.
The cabin feels a class up, with a clear 10.25-inch screen, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and switchgear that clicks like it means it. Safety is well covered (AEB, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring), and it’s quiet and comfy, though the ride leans firm when the road turns to corrugations.
Practicality is good rather than great; the boot isn’t the class hero, but the rear bench keeps adults civil on longer trips. If you want fireworks, look higher up the range; for most Aussies, the Maxx Sport nails value, manners and resale without the drama.
