Do you remember when traveling as a family always meant buying a minivan? Well, those days are behind us with the Mazda-CX5. Now, there are plenty of options for family travel that are sleek, attractive, and well suited to life before kids, life with kids, and those looming empty-nest days. 
Chief among them? The 2016 Mazda CX-5. This mid-sized SUV comes in three options: the affordable Sport edition, the mid-range Touring edition, and the more luxurious Grand Touring edition. It seats five, though if your children are still in car seats or high-back boosters, you may only be able to seat two in the back seat comfortably. 
So, what are some of the features that make this an excellent vehicle for family travel? First is the leg room. The adults on the journey will have plenty of room to stretch out and avoid leg cramps over long drives. For the kids in the back seat, there is room for them to stretch and kick their legs without annoying the passengers in front of them. 
Next, the cargo space. The 2016 Mazda CX-5 manages not to sacrifice cargo space to ensure leg room, which is a major plus. You can easily fit luggage and sports gear in the trunk, avoiding using a luggage rack in most cases. 
Of course, whether you are looking to travel long distances or just get around the city, safety is always a top concern with a family vehicle. The 2016 Mazda CX-5 was one of the top safety picks by the IIHS in 2016, which means you can rest assured that you are making an excellent choice for your family. 
Finally, the look of the 2016 Mazda CX-5 is attractive and modern, both inside and out. You can also customize the colors and other features of the vehicle to get exactly what you are looking for. If you have a family of four or five and want to travel, but also want to avoid the minivan, you should take time to test drive the 2016 Mazda CX-5.
