2013 Mazda CX-5 Priced at $20,695

The all-new 2013 Mazda CX-5 goes on sale this month with an attractive entry price of $20,695, excluding a $795 destination fee. That price beats competitors like the 2012 Ford Escape ($21,440) and 2012 Honda CR-V ($22,295), but it is more expensive than 2012 Hyundai Tucson ($19,145) and 2012 Kia Sportage ($18,500). The CX-5 comes better equipped than all the above models, however. Standard features on the CX-5 include 17-inch alloy wheels, push-button start, cruise control, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls and a USB port. The CX-5 is available in base Sport, Touring and Grand Touring trims. The Sport comes with a standard six-speed manual transmission, but a six-speed automatic is available for $1,400. An automatic transmission and all-wheel drive adds $2,650 to the base price. The Touring and Grand Touring models come standard with the automatic transmission. All versions are powered by the same 155-horsepower four cylinder that gets an EPA-estimated 26/32/29 mpg city/highway/combined with the automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. Touring models add Bluetooth, a 5.8-inch touch-screen, fog lamps, power driver's seat, backup camera and a blind spot monitoring system for $23,895. The Grand Touring starts at $27,045 and comes with 19-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, heated side mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, leather upholstery, a moonroof, heated front seats, automatic climate controls and a Bose stereo.
