Since its launch in 2013, the CX-5 has been a success story for Mazda. Sitting among a broad range of siblings at different spec levels, the GT SP is the kid that's totally into sports, comes loaded with all-wheel drive and has plenty of power.

Under the hood is a turbocharged 2.5-litre petrol engine delivering 170kW of power and 470Nm of torque. It's plenty noticeable when you put your foot down, with smooth gear changes, and the option of paddle shifting.

The chassis and suspension on the CX-5 make for a really comfortable ride, with dampers absorbing bumps and ruts to an above average level. Light at 1,730kg, the GT SP feels nimble, although lacks a little in sporty cornering.
