Picking out a new vehicle is a big decision, and when you have a family, the choice is even more complicated. You’ll need to find a vehicle with plenty of space, ample safety features, and amenities that will keep everyone comfortable and entertained. The best place to find your next family vehicle is at your local Mazda dealer, where you’ll have lots of options to choose from.
1. Mazda CX-5
The Mazda CX-5, a compact SUV that seats five, is perfect for small and mid-size families on the go. This vehicle offers up to 59.3 cubic feet of onboard cargo storage. Seatback pockets and front and rear door cubbies offer plenty of places to stow snacks, books, small toys, and other family accessories. Most models come with a standard rear power liftgate that’s convenient for busy parents with full hands.
Standard features like dual-zone automatic climate control, 12-volt power outlets, and USB charging ports help keep everyone onboard happy. This vehicle also comes with a six-speaker audio system, Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio capability, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.

The CX-90 offers roughly 75 cubic feet of rear cargo space when the second and third rows of seats are folded down.
The CX-90 is also loaded with standard features that take the load off of busy parents, including radar cruise control with stop-and-go and a keyless entry system that makes it easy to lock and unlock the vehicle while juggling other things. A voice command feature allows you to control certain functions of the vehicle using your voice.
