- Mazda CX5
Hi guys, new to the forum. I currently have a Mazda3 2017, but planning next year on getting either a CX5, Volvo XC40 or Subaru Crosstrek, since we welcomed our first baby a couple of months ago, I want something a little bit bigger, but not by much. Now, backseat legroom is important to me, and judging by the official numbers the CX5 back legroom is a lot more than the Volvo and Subaru, but its not really by what I have seen. I sat in a Crosstrek and legroom is surprisingly excellent for such a small car. By the videos Ive seen of the Volvo the legroom is on par or even better than the Subaru. Then by what Ive seen of the CX5 the back legroom looks actually just a bit more than my Mazda3, a little cramped, and actually with less legroom than the other 2 cars I mentioned. Officially, the CX5 is around 39 inches, the Crosstrek and the Volvo around 36 inches or so. What do you guys think? Are the CX5 numbers for back seat legroom a little off than what they seem in real world? Thanks.
