Car changing is a big deal
Lease this SUV with a well-equipped cabin, ample boot space and smart look from just £270 per month.
Are you looking for an SUV with an efficient drivetrain and a practical interior? Then this model could be an option for you. The Mazda CX-5 has high build quality, premium materials, and a design that prioritises ergonomics and comfort.
Its fuel efficiency and the presence of an intuitive scroll wheel behind the gear lever to control its 10.25-inch infotainment system makes this SUV a comfortable and functional option both in the city and on the road.
Here’s what our review team thinks of the Mazda CX-5:
| What’s good | What’s not good |
|---|---|
| Loads of equipment | Quite expensive |
| Fun to drive | Boot isn’t particularly roomy |
| Hushed petrol engine | Feels unsettled on rougher surfaces |
Mazda CX-5 Centre-Line model from £270 per month*
Still interested but don’t want to fully commit to buying it? You can lease this car through Carwow from as little as £273 per month. You can find this deal on its Centre-Line trim which comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights and a 10.3-inch infotainment system. There’s also Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, which can be connected wirelessly.
Here are the leasing details for this particular model at a glance:
- Monthly payment: £273.31
- Upfront cost: £2,809.80 (includes £349.99 broker fee)

If you prefer to buy, you can still take advantage of our Carwow offers. You can save over £2,500 on a Mazda CX-5 and get this SUV from just £29,294 instead of the starting price of £31,330.
You can get the Mazda CX-5 with two petrol and two diesel engines. The 2.0-litre petrol isn’t particularly powerful but it’s quieter and smoother than both diesels around town. Mazda claims it’ll return 44.1mpg but expect to see around 40mpg in real-world driving.
