2014 Mazda 6
In Consumer Guide’s opinion, the redesigned 2014 Mazda 6 has leapt to the top of the pack of the extremely competitive midsize-car class. In addition to its athletic character, this car is remarkably fuel-efficient. In our three Mazda 6 testers, we have averaged 30.6, 30.8, and—with our long-termer—32.0 mpg. In 330 miles of 95-percent highway driving, Consumer Guide editor Don Sikora averaged 40.3 mpg.

2017 Mazda CX-5 (left) and 2016 Mazda CX-5
The official launch of the redesigned-for-2017 Mazda CX-5 is just around the corner; it’s slated to begin arriving in dealerships later this spring. The new CX-5 represents an evolution of Mazda’s KODO—Soul of Motion design theme, a motif that debuted on the Mazda Shinari concept car of 2010. The new bodywork also bears an obvious family resemblance to the CX-5’s larger sibling—the redesigned-for-2016 Mazda CX-9 midsize SUV.

LOS ANGELES–Mazda displayed the new second generation of its compact crossover SUV at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show. The 2017 CX-5 is a fully redesigned model; though it looks to differ little in overall size from its predecessor, Mazda says it has a lower center of gravity and a slightly wider track. Styling is an evolution of Mazda’s KODO—Soul of Motion motif, and picks up a cue or two from Mazda’s all-new 2016 CX-9 midsize SUV.

First Spin: 2016 Mazda CX-9
Mazda’s redesigned CX-9 goes on sale in June as — oddly — a 2016 model. It remains a midsize 3-row SUV, with prices starting at $32,420 in front-drive form, $34,220 with all-wheel drive.
By our count, there are 18 midsize sport utilities on the market, plus a couple of larger compacts that could rightfully fill the bill. So why should anyone bother to consider such a peripheral player as the Mazda CX-9?
Here’s why.
