What MAZDA SUV Is the Best Fit for the Way You Actually Drive?

Five SUVs wearing the same badge can still serve five very different lives. Determining what Mazda SUV is the best fit for you starts with your week rather than a spec sheet. Colonial Mazda is a resource for matching one to the other; find the profile that sounds most like you here.

The Daily Commuter

If most of your miles run along I-84 between Danbury and Waterbury, the Mazda CX-30 keeps things simple with 186 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque, standard i-Activ AWD®, and eight inches of ground clearance for rutted winter shoulders. Its 20.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats absorbs a full grocery run without a second trip, and 45.2 cubic feet opens up when the rear seats fold.

A Sensible First SUV

Fully redesigned for 2026, the Mazda CX-5 adds 4.5 inches of wheelbase for roomier rear seats and cargo space, with i-Activ AWD® standard on every trim. A 12.9-inch or available 15.6-inch touchscreen brings Google built-in to the dash. Standard i-Activsense® technology includes Mazda Radar Cruise Control™ with Speed Limit Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Smart Brake Support.

Room for a Growing Family

Three rows and seating for eight make the Mazda CX-90 the family answer, with 40.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row and 74.2 cubic feet once both rear rows fold flat. A turbocharged 3.3-liter inline-six produces 280 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, and qualifying trims tow up to 5,000 lbs, so a small camper does not require a different vehicle entirely.

The Mazda CX-70 uses the same footprint as the Mazda CX-90 for 39.6 cubic feet behind the second row and 75.3 cubic feet maximum. The Mazda CX-50 takes another approach, pairing up to 8.6 inches of ground clearance with up to 31.4 cubic feet of cargo room, and the turbocharged version of this new Mazda model tows up to 3,500 lbs for a small boat.
