Mazda didn’t pay us to say this, but if you’re looking for an affordable and engaging compact crossover SUV that will give you good performance on Kenyan roads - and still do some good off-roading, then the 2018 Mazda CX5 Grand Touring (2.5L Petrol) might surprise you…
2018 Mazda CX 5 Grand Touring Specs & Performance
You want power? The 2018 Mazda CX 5 Grand Touring delivers.
Under the hood, you get a 2.5L SkyActiv-G engine pumping out 187 horsepower. That’s quite impressive for a 2018 CX 5 horsepower.
Paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission, you’ll feel every shift click into place without jerks or delays.
And here’s the kicker: Mazda added cylinder deactivation. This means the engine smartly shuts off two cylinders when you’re driving steady, saving you fuel without you even noticing.
You’ll love the grip. The Grand Touring comes with optional all-wheel drive (AWD), perfect for Kenya’s rainy seasons or rough roads.
But even its front-wheel drive (FWD) system handles very well.
The steering? It’s precise. Take a corner too fast, and the sport-tuned suspension keeps the body steady, giving you confidence behind the wheel.
It’s one of the most engaging compact crossover SUVs to drive.
What about its fuel efficiency? You get about 14 - 17 km/l.
And don’t worry about towing—the CX 5 handles up to 1800kg. Perfect for small trailers or camping gear.
Mazda CX 5 2018 Grand Touring Interior & Exterior
Step inside the CX 5 Grand Touring 2018 and you’ll feel like you’re in a luxury SUV.
The Grand Touring’s leather seats are heated upfront and in the back—yes, even your rear passengers stay cozy.
The dual-zone climate control lets you set your perfect temperature while your passenger picks theirs.
Soft-touch materials cover the dashboard, and the leather-wrapped steering wheel feels premium in your hands.
Tech? The 7-inch infotainment screen is crisp and responsive. Use the rotary knob (no distracting touchscreen while driving!) to navigate Apple CarPlay or Android.
You get Bluetooth, USB ports, and a Bose 10-speaker stereo that’ll make your favorite tracks sound alive.
You’ll love the heads-up display. It projects your speed, navigation, and safety alerts right on the windshield, so you never take your eyes off the road.
Outside, the CX 5 turns heads. Sleek LED headlights light up dark roads, and 19-inch alloy wheels give it a rugged yet classy look.
The power liftgate opens with a kick under the bumper—super handy when your hands are full.
Cargo space? 30.9 cubic feet behind the rear seats (expand to 59.6 cubic feet by folding them). Perfect for market runs or road trips.
