So is the CX-5 still the best compact crossover you've tested? http://www.edmunds.com/mazda/cx-5/2014/long-term-road-test/2014-mazda-cx-5-awd-measuring-ramp-travel-index.html

Obviously the Trailhawk can do more offroad with it's 4wd and locking differentials, but I'm kind of shocked that the Mazda has better wheel articulation than the most hardcore version of the Cherokee...
