Five reasons to get a CX-5 Sport

If you’re looking for a reliable daily driver that looks sharp, feels refined, and won’t break the bank, Triple J Motors has just the thing—the 2025 Mazda CX-5 Sport.

Marianas Press recently took the Japanese-built crossover SUV for a spin. Here are five reasons the CX-5 Sport deserves your attention:

1. Premium driving feel

The CX-5 stands out for its confident, composed drive. Mazda’s engineers have fine-tuned the steering and suspension to deliver a smooth, responsive experience—almost like a sports car wrapped in an SUV body. Every turn feels connected to the road, making even routine drives something to enjoy.

2. Upscale interior and design

Mazda’s “Kodo—Soul of Motion” design philosophy shines here. Even in the base Sport trim, the CX-5 offers a clean, modern cabin with soft-touch materials and refined finishes. Outside, its elegant lines and poised stance project understated luxury from every angle.

3. Safety and technology

Safety comes standard. The CX-5 includes Mazda’s full i-Activsense suite—Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane-Keep Assist, and Radar Cruise Control. You also get a 10.25-inch infotainment display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, ensuring seamless connectivity on the go.

4. Versatility and everyday practicality

The CX-5 may look sporty, but it’s built for everyday life in the islands. It’s a great “school bus” for parents driving kids to and from school, with ample space in the back for backpacks and sports gear. The roomy trunk easily handles picnic baskets, grocery runs, or beach essentials. And with standard all-wheel drive, it’s just as comfortable tackling rough terrain—like a weekend drive up to Mt. Tapochao—as it is cruising smoothly along Beach Road.

5. Value for the Price

Now’s the best time to buy. Triple J Motors has slashed the price of the 2025 Mazda CX-5 Sport from around $31,000 to just $24,995. That’s a remarkable deal for a crossover that combines premium styling, advanced safety tech, standard AWD, and Mazda’s trademark driving dynamics—all at a price that’s hard to beat.
