The school run, the weekend escape, the quick grocery dash that somehow turns into a detour for coffee. The 2022 Mazda CX-5 Touring Active takes all of it in its stride and never once makes it feel like a chore.

There's a quiet confidence to the way this CX-5 carries itself. The cabin feels a clear step above its price, with soft-touch materials and a layout that puts everything exactly where your hand expects to find it.

With i-ACTIV all-wheel drive working underneath, wet roads and the occasional gravel detour lose their drama. Power slips to wherever the grip is, so you simply point the nose and go while the car quietly does the thinking.

The Touring Active trim adds the thoughtful touches that make ordinary drives feel a little special. These are the details you notice every single time you climb in, not just the ones that read well on a spec sheet.

Finished in a deep red that catches the afternoon light beautifully, this is an SUV that looks just as at home outside a Nunawading cafe as it does in your own driveway.

At 44,000 kilometres on a 2022 build, it has barely loosened its shoulders. There's a long, easy road ahead for whoever ends up with the keys.

Mazda calls the colour Soul Red. We call it the reason you'll always spot your car first in a crowded car park, no app required.
