If you’re looking for a small SUV that rides and handles like a sporty hatchback (think Mazda3), the 2018 Mazda CX-5 stands above all rivals. Excellent fuel economy from an available diesel engine further separates the CX-5 from the Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue and Ford Escape.
If you’re looking for a compact SUV with a big interior and/or the ability to venture off-road, a Subaru Forester is a better choice. Diesel fans can get on a waiting list, or stop by a Chevy dealer and pick up a diesel-powered Equinox right now.
