MAZDA CX-5
25S PROACTIVE
Model Overview
The Mazda CX-5 25S Proactive is widely regarded as one of the finest compact SUVs ever produced a vehicle that combines Japanese precision engineering with a driving experience that punches well above its class. The Proactive trim sits at a compelling mid-to-upper specification level, delivering a rich feature set without the premium price of the top-tier L Package.
Finished in Mazda's iconic Soul Red Crystal Metallic, one of the most awarded automotive paint finishes in the world, this 2019 example presents with striking visual presence on the road. Paired with the naturally aspirated 2.5-litre SKYACTIV-G engine and Mazda's intelligent i-Activ AWD system, it delivers confident, engaging performance across Kenya's varied road conditions from Nairobi city driving to upcountry terrain.
With a clean ownership history and no repair record, this CX-5 represents an excellent opportunity to own a genuinely desirable SUV known for its exceptional build quality, low running costs, and strong resale value.

🆚Buyers Also Consider
Toyota RAV4 2.5 AWD
Hugely popular and with a vast parts network, but the CX-5 offers a significantly more premium cabin feel, sharper driving dynamics, and standout styling by comparison.
Honda CR-V 1.5T AWD
More cargo space and a turbocharged engine, but the CX-5 excels in interior quality, driving refinement, and its iconic Soul Red finish turns more heads.
Subaru Forester 2.0i
Strong AWD capability and good ground clearance, but the Mazda delivers a far more refined, quieter cabin and a considerably more stylish exterior presence.
Nissan X-Trail 2.5 AWD
7-seat layout is a practical advantage, but the CX-5 is more driver-focused, better built, and more fuel efficient — a compelling choice for a family of five.
"The 2019 Mazda CX-5 25S Proactive in Soul Red Crystal is not merely a used SUV it is a statement. Mazda's obsessive craftsmanship, the predictive intelligence of i-Activ AWD, and the visceral appeal of the world's most celebrated automotive red combine to create a driving experience that genuinely competes with European premium brands. For buyers seeking beauty, reliability, and driving joy in equal measure, this CX-5 is an outstanding choice for the Kenyan road.""
