The Newground also gets some exterior styling upgrades, such as a front 'bash plate' and subtle green highlights, as well as a funky 'Zircon Sand' beige paint job that gives it more of an off-road flavour. Next up is the Newground trim, which adds 19-inch alloys in a black-and-silver finish, half-leatherette seats with suede inserts, powered driver's seat, heated front seats, a reversible boot floor, a blind spot monitor, adaptive cruise control, upgraded emergency autonomous braking, automatic high-beam lights and lane-keeping steering. If you want the 150hp 2.2-litre diesel engine in GS-L trim, that'll be €40,625. Standard equipment at GS-L level includes 17-inch alloys, automatic wipers, automatic LED headlights, front and rear parking sensors, dual-zone climate control, leather finish for the steering wheel and gearshift, keyless ignition, cruise control, 10.25-inch infotainment screen and emergency autonomous braking. That will cost you €36,745 - not a bad price at all for a car this big and roomy.

The Mazda CX-5 seems to have been with us forever, but in fact it's only been around in its current from since 2017.
