Ford Maverick: hybride ou turbo AWD ?

Le 29 novembre 2023

Ford a lancé une mini-camionnette pick-up en 2021, le Maverick. Mais, avec la pandémie et la pénurie des puces électroniques, son arrivée sur le marché québécois est passée presque inaperçue. Aujourd’hui, plusieurs automobilistes semblent finalement s’intéresser au Maverick sans, toutefois, bien le connaître. Notez qu’en même temps, Hyundai lançait le Santa Cruz (à ne pas confondre avec le Vera Cruz du passé…) qui, lui, malgré un prix plus élevé, connaît un certain succès.

J’ai déjà publié un premier essai du Maverick mais, il a certes été oublié. Cette fois, je vais donc vous parler de deux Maverick, c’est-à-dire les Maverick selon les deux configurations mécaniques disponibles, celle «de base» avec moteur hybride électrique mais qu’avec la traction avant et le Maverick avec le moteur turbocompressé qui vient, lui, avec la traction intégrale. Ce dernier m’a été proposé en finition Tremor plus élaborée.

Le mini-pick-up Maverick commence à se faire connaître (Photo Éric Descarries)

Au départ, j’ai déjà demandé aux gens de Ford à Detroit pourquoi avoir ressuscité le nom Maverick que les gens plus âgés ont connu chez nous comme une voiture, la remplaçante plus «moderne» de la Ford Falcon (les autos étant sur une plateforme presque identique créée, au départ, pour la première Falcon en 1960). Je leur aussi fait part de mon goût personnel où j’aurais plutôt vu le nom de Ranchero pour l’actuel Maverick. Première réponse, selon les études et les «cliniques» menées par les administrateurs de Ford, il semble que le nom Maverick correspondait mieux à l’utilité du petit pick-up. Le mot «maverick» veut dire en américain «sauvage et libre» un peu dans le sens de «rebelle». Quant au nom Ranchero, il serait toujours en réserve chez Ford (la Ford Ranchero de 1957 à 1979 était une forme de voiture familiale (station-wagon) dont le toit avait été retiré après le compartiment avant transformant la familiale en camionnette pick-up). J’ai déjà eu trois Ranchero dans ma vie alors vous comprendrez pourquoi j’espérais que le nom revienne sur le marché!  Le nouveau Maverick est ni plus ni moins qu’une version tronquée du petit VUM Ford Escape dont la partie du toit au-dessus du compartiment cargo aurait été retirée. Incidemment, le Maverick est construit sur le principe de la plateforme C2 de Ford qui sert aussi au Ford Escape et au Ford Bronco Sport.

De nos jours, il est plus facile de se procurer un Maverick maintenant que la production semble s’être stabilisée et déjà, on constate que le modèle est destiné à une devenir une véritable réussite…au point même où, selon la publication spécialisée Automotive News, les concessionnaires américains de Toyota pressent le constructeur nippon d’en produire une version semblable sur base de RAV4!

La caisse du Maverick en est son secret le mieux gardé! (Photo Éric Descarries)

Question «styling», le Maverick est le plus petit pick-up de Ford bien avant le Ranger. C’est une camionnette à quatre portes avec une courte caisse dont le plancher fait 4 pieds et demie (six pieds avec le panneau arrière abaissé) alors que beaucoup de grands pick-up ont un plancher qui ne fait que 5 pieds et demi. Comme c’en est le cas pour les pick-up intermédiaires, le traditionnel panneau de contreplaqué de 4 x 8 ne fait pas à plat entre les puits d’aile mais si l’on abaisse le panneau arrière de la caisse qu’à moitié (en détachant les câbles de retenue pour les repositionner un peu plus haut), ces contreplaqués reposeront alors sur les puits d’ailes et leur extrémité arrière sur le rebord du panneau de la caisse. Notons ici que les ingénieurs de Ford ont imaginé des partitions dans la caisse que le propriétaire peut faire selon les instructions qu’il pourra trouver sur un site Internet disponible par le code QR imprimé sur un petit portillon dans le flanc de la caisse. Ford a aussi publié une courte vidéo sur Internet pour donner des trucs afin de maximiser l’utilisation de la caisse incluant des plans pour y faire un support à bicyclette! De plus, il est possible d’y avoir une prise de courant de 120 volts dans un des flancs. La capacité de charge est d’environ 1500 livres.

Un intérieur simple et pratique

Le tableau de bord du Maverick est simple mais très fonctionnel. (Photo Éric Descarries)

Lorsqu’on monte à bord du Maverick, on est surpris par la simplicité de sa présentation. Tout ou presque y est en plastique. Il faut dire que les matériaux ont été soigneusement choisis par les concepteurs de Ford pour ressembler à du cuir. Mais si tout y est en plastique, c’est pour que le nettoyage y soit facile.

Le tableau de bord est peut-être un peu simple mais encore une fois, c’est voulu pour que le Maverick soit considéré comme une véritable camionnette. Son design est rectiligne avec une niche pour les instruments et un grand écran au centre. Sous ce tableau de bord se trouve une console centrale avec un sélecteur rotatif de vitesses et des espaces conçus pour contenir le téléphone cellulaire (avec chargeur à plat), les clés et les gobelets. On verra d’autres grands compartiments et porte-gobelets dans les garnitures de portières (toujours en plastique). Le plus remarquables, ce sont les poignées de portières de conception très robustes dont le design permet de les agripper de plusieurs façons.

Les places arrière sont modestes mais quand même accueillantes. (Photo Éric Descarries)

Les sièges d’avant (avec des tissus très robustes basés sur des matériaux plastiques) sont confortables. Il y a une banquette à l’arrière qui est à la fois accueillante et relativement confortable, même pour des déplacements plus longs. Le fauteuil se relève pour découvrir d’autres compartiments utiles pour grader de précieux objets hors de la vue des curieux parfois malfaisants. Le dossier se rabaisse aussi mais il ne révèle qu’un panneau pouvant accepter certains «bricolages» (même électriques) des propriétaires.

Une mécanique sur mesure

Lors de son lancement, les dirigeants de Ford ont pensé que la version de base du Maverick serait mue par un quatre cylindres hybride combiné seulement avec la traction avant. Il fallait alors commander le moteur turbocompressé si l’on voulait la traction intégrale. Plus maintenant. Quoique le quatre cylindres de 2,5 litres avec deux moteurs électriques qui fait 191 chevaux et 173 li-pi de couple. Il est combiné à une boîte automatique constamment variable CVT soit toujours disponible (maintenant facultatif), le nouveau moteur de base est un quatre cylindres EcoBoost de 2,0 litres qui fait 250 chevaux et 277 li-pi de couple. Celui-ci est obligatoire avec la traction intégrale et il vient avec la boîte automatique à huit rapports.  Le freinage est à disque aux quatre roues et la direction assistée électrique est à crémaillère. La suspension est semblable à celle des Bronco Sport ou Escape avec des jambes de force à l’avant et des bras multiples à l’arrière. Le poids variera de 3700 à 3900 livres selon la version et l’équipement choisis. En ce qui a trait aux capacités de remorquage, elle sera de 2000 livres pour la version hybride et 4000 livres pour celle à traction intégrale.

Sur la route…et hors-route

J’ai donc eu droit à deux versions du Maverick, tous deux avec la finition Lariat, la première étant l’hybride à traction, l’autre, la plus récente Tremor à traction intégrale. Au départ, je dois avouer que le Maverick n’a rien de sportif. Ses accélérations peuvent varier de 6 à 8 secondes selon le modèle, la version avec le quatre turbocompressé étant la plus rapide. Mais, le Maverick est un petit camion, pas un coupé de sport! Si le Maverick Hybrid vient avec une boîte auto CVT, celui-ci procure des changements de rapport nettement plus doux, virtuellement imperceptible. Toutefois, durant mon essai, cette boîte CVT a produit certaines hésitations en décélération qui m’ont agacé. Cependant, dans ce cas, il s’agit d’un véhicule à traction avant (encore une fois, trop de consommateurs peu informés ont voulu m’obstiner que le Maverick était à propulsion…nooon! Un Maverick de base est à traction. Point final!). Cette configuration pourrait s’avérer un peu moins efficace en hiver dans notre bout du monde mais avec des pneus d’hiver appropriés, la traction ne devrait pas être un handicap!

Dans sa version Tremor, le Maverick vient avec la traction intégrale (et le moteur EcoBoost) plus utile sur des chemins plus rudes. (Photo Éric Descarries)

Le Maverick avec la traction intégrale est un peu plus rapide puisque son quatre cylindres EcoBoost biturbo est reconnu comme une moteur plus performant. On peut atteindre le cap des 100 km/h en moins de sept secondes. Et les reprises sont plus convaincantes (et plus ressenties) grâce à la boîte auto à huit rapports. Par contre, grâce à la traction intégrale, j’ai pu faire quelques excursions hors-route (modestes) avec la version Tremor. Notez que celle-ci possède une suspension légèrement relevée en plus de quelques réglages électroniques qui lui permettront d’attaquer certains sentiers non pavés.

Dans ce cas, j’ai encore emprunté les installations de mon ami Pierre Archambault à Laval (Pépinor) pour mesurer les capacités du Maverick Tremor. Les chemins de sa pépinière ne sont pas des plus exigeants mais ils sont invitants. Ici, je dis avouer que les pneus Falken Wildpeak A/T se sont révélés plus efficaces sur les sentiers boueux que des pneus plus conventionnels. Ces A3T3W ont été créés non seulement pour les excursions hors-route modestes mais aussi pour l’hiver ce qui signifie que l’utilisateur n’aura pas besoin de les changer pour l’hiver.

J’ai utilisé les terrains et chemins de culture de mon ami Pierre Archambault (Pépinor) pour apprécier le système intégral du Tremor. (Photo Éric Descarries)

Autrement, en conduite régulière, autant la version Hybrid que la Tremor se sont avérées très agréables à conduire. Elles sont relativement silencieuses et leur conduite ressemble à celle d’une berline intermédiaire avec une visibilité sécuritaire. Qui plus est, leur conduite en ville est des plus faciles, le gabarit des Maverick rendant leur manœuvrabilité des plus faciles pour le stationnement.

Évidemment, avec le temps, nous verrons de plus en plus d’accessoires créés pour améliorer l’utilisation des Maverick alors que j’ai déjà vu des cabines de caisse adaptées à cette camionnette pour des besoins commerciaux ou privés.

Question consommation, la version Hybrid s’est avérée un vrai charme car mon calcul à la pompe a résulté en une moyenne de 7,2 l./100 km (mi-ville, mi-route alors que le tableau de bord indiquait une moyenne de 6,5 l./100 km). Sur 359,8 km parcourus, l’ordinateur de bord m’indiquait que 133,7 l’avaient été en mode électrique). La version Tremor m’a un peu déçu puisque sa consommation moyenne selon mes calculs à la pompe l’ont été de 10,4 l./100 km (alors que l’ordinateur de bord indiquait 10,2 !). Cependant, ce Maverick a été un peu plus sollicité (incluant des excursions dans la boue).

Il ne reste plus que la question des prix. Le plus abordable Lariat Hybrid à traction avant affichait un prix de base de 36 150 $ mais les 10 455 $ d’options incluant un toit ouvrant vitré de 1120 $, un ensemble de décoration noire, la finition Lariat de 4100 $, l’assistance Co-Pilot360 de 850 $, la WiFi 4G de 25 $ et quelques autres options intéressantes et utiles (en plus de la taxe fédéral d’accise pour la climatisation) ont ajouté 10 455 $ à facture en plus des 2 095 $ de transport et préparation ont fait grimper la facture finale à 48 700 $...plus taxes.

Mon véhicule d’essais à finition Tremor avait un prix de base semblable mais les options incluant l’ensemble Off-Road de 5 400 $, l’ensemble de luxe de 4 100 $ et autres options comme le toit ouvrant vitré, la WiFi et j’en passe ont fait ajouter 13 605 $ à la facture. Ajoutez à cela le transport et la préparation de 2 095 $ et nous voilà à une totale de 53 350 $...encore une fois, plus taxes!

Alors, lequel choisir?

Quelle version choisir? C’est alors une question de besoins ou de goût. Dans mon cas, je suis un bricoleur (on y va pour le petit pick-up qui sera alors utile) mais je ne ressens pas toujours le besoin de parcourir des sentiers hors-route (ai-je vraiment besoin du Tremor?). Par contre, la consommation de la version Hybrid m’a impressionné et vu que la plupart de mes déplacements se font en situation urbaine, là où la technologie hybride aide à l’économie de carburant, j’irais pour l’hybride.

Mais vu que nous vivons au Québec où les conditions hivernales nous font apprécier la traction intégrale et où la possibilité d’attaquer certains petits sentiers plus ou moins exigeants demeure une tentation fréquente, la version à traction intégrale (encore plus rassurante avec la finition Tremor, je me demande si les presque 5000 $ de plus n’en valent pas le coup!).

Toyota RAV4 2021 Price, Changes, Release Date

Toyota RAV4 2021 Price, Changes, Release Date – Any Toyota RAV4 2021is the perfect-marketing crossover in the USA. With the creation of the 5th-era RAV4 at the end of 2020, Toyota had been smart not to shake within the SUV’s general solution, but to help keep it very competitive in important places. It will not be our initial selection for a small crossover, however, it is easy to understand why…

Toyota venza hybrid

In terms of cargo space, every 2023 Venza offers 28.8 cubic feet of carrying space behind the second row and 55.1 cubic feet total with the rear seatbacks folded. Regardless of the trim level, sound-absorbing insulation and body sealing material have been placed throughout Venza’s structure to help reduce unwanted cabin noise. In addition to the new Nightshade Edition, the 2023 Toyota Venza is available in three other trim levels: LE, XLE, and Limited. That would make the Venza superior to its contemporaries like the Honda Passport, but unlike the V6-equipped Passport that can tow 5,000 lbs., the Venza is not rated for towing, so keep this in mind if you plan on hauling toys or heavy gear. If you heed your right foot, the Venza has no trouble achieving nearly 40 mpg combined. It’s not the quickest of the lot, but the Venza is not about sporty driving. You might think 219 horsepower is insufficient for a relatively large and hefty hybrid crossover, and you are right. Toyota claims the Venza can travel in front-wheel drive (100:0 front-rear torque distribution) at a constant speed, while the system can shift to 20:80 over slippery terrain. The drivetrain works seamlessly and varies the torque distribution depending on existing road conditions. There are two electric motors in the front and one in the back, effectively supplying the Venza with all-wheel grip via Toyota’s Electronic On-Demand AWD. The 2023 Toyota Venza remains motivated by a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with dual overhead cams and three electric motors that collectively develop 219 horsepower. Efficient Hybrid Powertrain & All-Wheel Drive The Venza Nightshade Edition is available in Ruby Flare Pearl, Celestial Black, or Wind Chill Pearl paint. It also has an electrochromic sunshade that works like transition lenses. Unlike ordinary glass roofs, Star Gaze has a glass that switches between transparent and frost at your behest. Optional for the Nightshade is Toyota’s Star Gaze Panoramic Roof. It also gets LED fog lights (now standard in the base Venza LE), 19-inch gloss black alloy wheels, and black badging. Standard fare for the Nightshade Edition is an acrylic front grille trim, smoked chrome moldings, and blacked-out trim for the mirror caps, door handles, rocker panels, roof rails, and sharkfin antenna. The Venza is now available with the Nightshade Edition Package based on the mid-level XLE trim. The 2023 Toyota Venza remains part of the second-gen variant that resurfaced in 2021. But if all you want is a decent crossover with good fuel economy, the 2023 Venza is worth considering. Still, the 2023 Venza does have its fair share of drawbacks, mainly the tiny cargo area (courtesy of the hybrid-electric components) and sparse interior room. In other words, the new Venza is a RAV4 hybrid wrapped in a Lexus-esque body and infused with a more premium vibe and more desirable features than a comparable RAV4, like that groovy electrochromic glass roof. As usual, the Venza scores high in fuel economy with its standard hybrid powertrain derived from the Toyota RAV4. The 2023 Toyota Venza is the latest to receive the Nightshade Editon package that adds dark styling elements to Toyota’s hybrid SUV. Some features will be upgraded in the Venza over the RAV4 Hybrid as well, for instance the latter comes standard with a 7” infotainment display with an available 8” upgrade, where as the new Venza will offer a standard 8” screen and an available 12.4��� enhancement.2023 Toyota Venza: Pricing & Availability Although not pictured in the table, the Venza is 5.7 inches longer than the RAV4 Hybrid, but 1.1 inches shorter. Although the Toyota Venza belongs to the larger segment, the RAV4 Hybrid actually offers just a little bit more space to fill with whatever you need to bring along with you. However, its Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive system does differ slightly in the way that it works, as it can send up to 80% of power to the rear wheels when necessary, while the RAV4 Hybrid’s system can only send up to 50%.Īnother difference comes in terms of space. That’s why each vehicle is capable of generating the same amount of horsepower, and why Toyota is estimating it will achieve the same combined fuel economy. Both hybrid crossovers are built on the TNGA-K platform so that they deliver a refined driving experience, but they’re also underpinned by the same powertrain, the Toyota Hybrid System II. As you can tell from the table above, the two crossover utility vehicles are actually quite similar to one another.

With 9M CR-Vs sold globally, Honda debuts its CR-V Hybrid

The Honda CR-V has an incredible record of global sales. More than 9 million CR-Vs have been sold worldwide in 150 countries since ’95. In the USA, a total of 384,168 CR-Vs were sold in 2019 alone (wheelsjoint.com). In the SUV market, it ranks second only to the Toyota RAV4.

By John Coulter, CURRENT EV CMO

Launched in Japan in 1995, the CR-V became one of the pioneer models of what has become the highly popular Compact SUV segment. It quickly established itself as a favorite with customers looking for a sturdy, reliable vehicle with low maintenance costs.

The core of the vehicle’s popularity is its combination of efficiency, functionality, simple style, safety and legendary Honda quality. The average estimate for repair bills for the first and second years is $0! The average maintenance cost for the first year of driving is $190.

Depreciation is minimal as well, accounting for only 10.582% its first year and 8.88% its second year.

The 2021 Honda CR-V Hybrid crossover retains the same basic design and features as its 2020 predecessor. Few changes have been implemented, as 2020 was the year when the CR-V received its 4th Generation makeover and the hybrid version debuted. The 2021 hybrid uses a 2.0L 4-cylinder Atkinson Cycle engine mated with 2 electric motors and a small 1.4kWh battery. Together, they generate 212hp and 232 lb-ft of torque, and provide what is considered the best engine performance in its segment.

With a 0 to 60 sprint of 7.5 seconds, it is not what any reviewer would call a fast car. But what its drivers like is its linear power delivery; it has no gears to shift, making the drive incredibly smooth. And the vehicle’s torque output of 232 lb-ft with its gas engine and two electric motors working bests the Ford Escape Hybrid and the Toyota RAV 4 Hybrid, its two closest competitors. Rather than a super fast family hauler, it’s a comfy city cruiser which gets you where you want to go, smoothly, safely and inexpensively.

Volkswagen Tiguan United: The Unknown Soldier

Text and Pics By Michael Hozjan

I’m back this week with another VW product, one that appears to have gone under the radar of most buyers when I’m scoping shopping mall and renovation center parking lots. That’s sad because the Tiguan is one of the most practical SUVs in the Canadian market. This despite having one of the most innovative television commercials in some time - remember the jealous SUV hitting their owners with a door or hood when he looked the new 2018 Tiguan, or getting squirted by the windshield washer? The second generation Tiguan touched on all the right buttons to be an instant success and it is in other parts of Canada-just not in this neck of the woods. In a sea of look alike SUVs, the Tiguan stands out with no nonsense styling. Throw in a clean interior and typical Volkswagen driving dynamics, and it’s easy to see why the Tiguan is a cut above the competition.

Above: Whether in the corporate parking lot, or the theater’s curb, the Tiguan’s styling fits the bill

Larger than most compact SUVs it competes with, the Tiguan offers an optional 50/50 split third row seat ($750). So if you really need a third row seat you’re no longer limited to a large SUV or breaking the bank.

It’s cliché, but Volkswagen offers four trim levels to suit every taste and budget; Trendline, Comfortline, United and Highline with prices starting at a modest $29, 795 for the front wheel drive version of the Trendline and $31,995 for the entry level all-wheel-drive Trendline and topping off the Highline at $40,195.

Above: Like the outside the interior is simple yet elegant

To paraphrase Henry Ford, you can choose any engine and transmission you want as long as it’s the 184-hp, turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder.  Hooked up to an eight-speed automatic transmission (what ever happened to manual trannies in SUVs) and the company’s 4Motion all-wheel drive system the Tiguan is slower off the line than some, but shows its true mettle on the highways and byways along lakeside roads, where its compliant road manners take over.

That’s the trade off of keeping gas mileage figures in check with the smaller SUVs in the category like Toyota’s RAV4 and Honda’s CR-V. I netted a respectable 9.4L/100km.

Above: Fit and finish is typically VW without the typical piano plastic 

The base Trendline really comes with the basics – all the basics. As mentioned earlier you get the choice of front or all-wheel drive. Opt for the AWD and you get 4 driving modes to chose from including ECO. It runs on 17” wheels with LED tail lights and running lights. Blind spot monitoring and rear traffic alert are standard and you also get Electronic Stability Control. Hill Decent Control is standard on the all wheel driver while the front wheel drive model gets hill hold assist. Why you need hill hold assist in an automatic is beyond me. A rear view camera, heated power mirrors, heated washer nozzles, heated front cloth buckets, remote start, Bluetooth connectivity, and 6.5” infotainment screen and 6-speaker sound system round off the base model.  Not that basic is it?

Above: Cloth seating is comfortable and supportive

If you want all the latest fancy electronic connectivity toys you’ll want to step up to the Comfortline ($35, 149) where you’ll find wireless charging, voice control, smartphone integration, sat radio, push button start, an 8” infotainment screen. Thinking safety, you get autonomous emergency braking, vehicle immobilizer with an alarm and pedestrian monitoring, cornering and fog lights.

Above: Decent head and leg room all around but I would have liked to see the rear seat fold flat

My United tester tips the scales at $37,145 with mostly decorative touches like interior chrome accents, one trim only wheels, leather wrapped steering wheel with multi-functional buttons. The heartthrob item is the panoramic sunroof. The United is also the sole model not to have the third row option. Interestingly if you’re going with the three row model you may be interested to know that three row models have less space than the two row counterpart. There’s 12 cubic feet of cargo room behind the third row, 33 cu.ft. behind the second row, and 65.7 with both rows folded. The two row versions have a more spacious 37.6 cu. ft. behind the second row and a whopping 73.5 cu. ft. when the second row is folded.

Above: The United is the only trim with three sow seating not available, the trade off is more cargo room 

At $40,195 for the Highline is approaching Atlas pricing. Matter of fact you can get yourself into a front drive Atlas for less. Decisions, decisions. But you get all the bells and whistles that we expect these days in top of the line models with the Tiguan. Riding on 18” wheels the Highline is well appointed with leather seats, a Fender premium 8-speaker sound system, adaptive cruise, power tailgate, and the usual array of driving aides. Snow belt drivers will also appreciate the heated wiper park.  

So yes, there is a Tiguan to suit every taste and budget, or should I say there’s a compact SUV that really isn’t compact out there to suit your needs and budget.

While we’re awaiting the third generation 2022 Tiguan, don’t write off the 2021 it is a winner in my book. Do yourself a favor and head down to your local VW dealer and check one out for a test drive.

2021 Mazda CX-5 review: Fun at the forefront

2021 Mazda CX-5 review: Fun at the forefront

Even though you’ll be having fun behind the wheel, the CX-5’s styling ensures you remain under the radar.

Andrew Krok/Roadshow

Sometimes, making a change means losing sight of what you used to hold dear. Thankfully, that’s not the case for the 2021 Mazda CX-5. While the Japanese automaker has injected its latest vehicles with affordable doses of luxury-level trimmings, the company hasn’t lost sight of the fun-to-drive nature that brought people into its showrooms in years past. If anything, it only makes this compact crossover more compelling.

Like

Fun to drive

Properly fancy interior

Affordable

Don’t Like

Light on cargo space

Middling MPGs

Lack of touchscreen isn’t for everyone

Fashion forward

Devoid of harsh angles and eye-grabbing garishness, I appreciate the CX-5’s clean body lines, with only a hint of aggression on the hood giving way to subdued curves on the sides. It’s a little anonymous, sure, but I think it’s interesting in the compact crossover segment; competitors like the Toyota RAV4 and Nissan Rogue are content to go hard in the paint with unique styling but a general glossing-over of driving dynamics, whereas Mazda’s taking the opposite approach.

The best parts of the CX-5’s design are inside. This cabin is one of my favorites in the segment; just like the exterior, Mazda chooses to prioritize cleanliness over whiz-bang, look-at-me styling. Combine that with a whole lot of impressively soft leather on my Signature-trim tester, and you have an interior that borders on bona-fide luxury — and for less than the average new-car transaction price. The front seats are spacious and supportive without being tight, and while the rear seats may be a little cramped for folks over 6 feet tall, there’s still a decent amount of space back there.

Storage is a bit of a mixed bag, though. The CX-5’s cabin itself has a sufficient number of places to store one’s junk, whether it’s the phone-or-mask-sized tray under the climate controls or the deep center armrest cubby with its removable shelf. However, cargo area suffers compared to the competition; at 30.9 cubic feet behind the second-row seats, the CX-5 falls far behind the Honda CR-V (about 38 cubic feet), Toyota RAV4 (about 37) and Nissan Rogue (about 36). You’ll have to either get creative with your trip packing or figure out which child gets left at home.

Rewarding on the road

The 2021 Mazda CX-5 comes with one of two engines. Lower trims get a 2.5-liter, naturally aspirated I4 that produces 187 horsepower, but the top-tier Signature example before me picks up some major hustle with a 2.5-liter turbocharged I4 that bumps output to a meaty 250 hp and 320 pound-feet of torque. (Those numbers are for premium fuel; using the cheap stuff drops those specs to 227 and 310, respectively.) Whether I’m using the torque to swiftly move between stoplights around town or wringing the four-pot out at higher revs to pass cars on the highway, at no point am I left wanting for more motive force. Both engines use a six-speed automatic that might feel a little behind the times on gear count, but in practice it’s a smooth-shifting transmission that will never command attention.

Throwing some fun characteristics into a mass-market vehicle’s driving dynamics sometimes requires a trade-off in daily livability, but not here. The 2021 CX-5’s static dampers do an impressive balancing act, soaking up a majority of gross roads and returning little in the way of jostling or uncomfortable movement. Yet, at the same time, entering a corner faster than my passengers might prefer doesn’t result in a floaty or discombobulated feeling. The steering is direct but not so tight that small movements feel like bigger ones, and both pedals are dead simple to modulate for smoothness. Like its styling, I think the way the CX-5 drives will appeal to a broad swath of the buying public.

Oh, don’t worry, there’s a downside tucked away in here. Sadly, it’s fuel economy. With all-wheel drive and the peppier engine option, the 2021 CX-5 is EPA-rated at just 22 miles per gallon city and 27 mpg highway. I was able to best those figures by a couple, mind you, but the feds’ estimates are bleak in the face of Mazda’s competitors. For context, a similarly equipped Honda CR-V is rated at 27 mpg city and 32 mpg highway, with the RAV4 pulling ahead of the Honda by 1 mpg highway. Then again, that’s the price you pay for having 310 lb-ft of torque, which the other cars mentioned here definitely do not.

The CX-5’s interior gives a few “premium” automakers a run for their money.

Slick standard tech

While many of Mazda’s competitors are content to give you a little baby screen unless you throw down more money for a higher trim or an options package, the 2021 CX-5 gives every single buyer a 10.3-inch infotainment display mounted high on the dashboard, which runs the sleekest, newest version of the Mazda Connect software. Like the rest of the interior, this screen looks pretty darn fancy, with a standard dark-mode motif that is light on distracting eye candy. It’s responsive, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now both standard, but buyers used to touchscreens may not enjoy the fact that the sole methods of manipulation are a rotary dial on the center console and voice commands through a steering wheel button. When it comes time to charge, there are two USB ports for each row, although the base CX-5 Sport only makes do with plugs up front.

That’s not the only screen tucked away in the CX-5, though. Grand Touring and higher trims also receive a 7-inch LCD in the gauge cluster that comprises the speedometer and can show a bit of extra information on either side; it’s a little light on features, but it gets the job done without overwhelming the driver. There’s also a head-up display on Grand Touring Reserve and Signature variants, which projects pertinent information on the windshield rather than the dinky pop-up plastic that Mazda used to rely on.

Like most every other automaker, Mazda’s thrown in a number of active and passive safety systems regardless of trim. Every 2021 CX-5 gets automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist and blind-spot monitoring. The tip-top Signature model adds to that with a surround-view monitor, traffic sign recognition and reverse automatic emergency braking.

In addition to the usual pages for audio and navigation, you can track your fuel economy… although given its efficiency, perhaps you don’t want to do that.

Andrew Krok/Roadshow

Down to brass tacks

The 2021 Mazda CX-5 is affordable, with the Sport FWD model starting at $26,370, including $1,100 for destination. AWD is a $1,400 option for any trim except Grand Touring Reserve and Signature, where it’s standard. Pricing tops out with my tester’s Signature trim, which will set you back $38,505 — a fair chunk of change, yes, but still within the realm of affordability.

That puts the CX-5 in line with the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4 and Nissan Rogue, all of which are viable competitors. However, the CX-5’s biggest rivals are pretty milquetoast, offering little in the way of an interesting drive. The Mazda might be a little low on cargo space compared to the rest, but the tradeoff is a compact crossover that’s engineered with more than rote transportation in mind.
