2013 Mazda CX-5
Starting MSRP: $21,395
Mazda’s engineering team has summoned the Skyactiv magic, with the Mazda CX-5 clocking in as the most fuel-efficient conventionally powered 2013 SUV sold in America. The front-wheel-drive manual-equipped version is rated at 35 MPG on the highway. Manual transmissions are rare among SUVs and crossovers these days, and the CX-5 is remarkably fun to drive. A more powerful 2.5-liter Skyactiv engine is available in the 2014 model (rated at 25/32 FWD and 24/30 AWD)
