Mazda Cars Prices, Reviews & Offers in KSA

After God blessed me with my second child, I needed a larger and more family-friendly car. I tried several Korean and Japanese models, but most were either over my budget or didn’t meet my expectations in terms of features. I eventually narrowed it down to three options: the Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, and Mazda CX-5. The Sportage felt too sporty and the design didn’t appeal to me. I was really excited about the Tucson, but when I visited the dealership, they left me waiting for nearly an hour without any attention — so I ruled it out. Finally, I test drove the CX-5, liked it, and went ahead and booked it. In terms of space, I’m 182 cm tall and felt comfortable, and the rear seat space was good for my wife and kids. Performance-wise, it’s a bit sluggish at the start, but once it picks up speed — even when fully loaded — it feels confident on the highway. Other owners told me the gearbox adapts to your driving style over time, so I’m looking forward to seeing how it improves. Handling and stability are excellent — that’s something Mazda is known for. The car feels solid on the road, and the suspension gives you a good sense of the road without being uncomfortable, so overall ride comfort is great. As for fuel consumption, after 3,000 km the reading is 7.5 L/100 km, which is pretty accurate based on my own calculations. On highways it’s between 6–7 L/100 km, and at speeds above 120 km/h it goes up to 8. In heavy city traffic it can reach 9–10, but overall, I’m satisfied. I usually drive a bit aggressively with strong acceleration, and even then, the fuel economy is reasonable. If you drive more gently, you’ll likely get even better numbers. The one thing I didn’t like is how soft the brakes are at the beginning — I’m used to American cars with firmer braking, so it took a bit of adjustment. All in all, I believe Japanese and Korean cars are great choices for anyone looking for reliability and peace of mind. After 3,000 km with the CX-5, I really feel I made the right choice.

I bought the full-option 600 km version of the electric EZ6, and honestly, I’m very satisfied with it. It really drives like a petrol car — the transition was easy, and I didn’t feel much difference. I only use it in the city, and so far, it’s averaging around 11.3 kWh per 100 km, which is excellent. The car is rear-wheel drive with an impressively tuned suspension. Cornering at 60–80 km/h feels smooth and stable — it really grips the road, making it perfect for mountain roads. I honestly wouldn’t recommend test driving it unless you’re ready to buy — it’s that convincing! The interior is elegant, with 14 speakers and great sound quality. However, one small issue: there’s no light on the vanity mirror, which can be a bit annoying. After installing the rear spoiler, I noticed what seemed like improved efficiency — maybe due to better aerodynamics, or maybe just my imagination. In eco mode, the car can get close to 600 km of range in the city — without using the A/C. In summer with A/C on, it drops to around 550 km. If you switch to sport mode and drive over 100 km/h, the consumption can go over 15 kWh per 100 km. One downside is the limited infotainment system — despite the great sound system, you’re mostly stuck with music. Also, some settings have to be manually re-enabled every time you start the car — probably for safety reasons. As for comfort, my family loves it — especially the kids in the back. The wireless phone charger works perfectly, and Bluetooth connects quickly. The trunk is very spacious, and there’s even extra storage under the hood, which is great. I take good care of the car — I always use a car cover when parking outside, and the interior really gives off a premium feel. During the day, I try to save energy by turning off unnecessary lights and filters. One feature I really love is the remote parking after getting out — it’s super accurate and genuinely useful. Honestly, it’s a great car and definitely worth test driving if you’re considering an EV.
