Damn straight. They are like Toyotas in reliability but with a bit of soul, they drive great, look and feel more premium than most mainstream cars - like VW but actually reliable. Australians have done a good job, Mazda has long been number 2 to fleet boosted Toyota sales. The Americans still have a love affair with Honda - which is fine if they actually sent us their best cars not the outdated crap Hondas we get here - no wonder their sales have been declining over the last decade.

The AWD system: It just has a rear diff ratio that’s 1.1% taller than the front diff ratio, so when the rear axle is engaged it spins 1.1% faster than the front axle does. So that also means when the rear axle is disengaged, the propellor shaft will be spinning 1.1% faster than the rear diff’s input, so the backlash is always taken up. Overspending the rear axle also helps to make the thing feel more rear-driven, and the Mk3 Focus RS also had the rear axle slightly ‘oversped’

We pick up our new Akera next week. It is identical to the test car i.e. Soul Red and Turbo. It is replacing a nearly 7 year old 2015 Akera (also Soul Red) that my wife loves. Our only real disappoint about the new Akera is a lack of any options on the interior finish, options that seem to be available in other markets. Our existing has White Leather, which has held up very well. Our Mazda has been virtually trouble free, just a couple of recall items that got addressed straight away. We replaced the original Tyres a year or so ago with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUVs and we would highly recommend them. They are quite noticeably better than the stock Toyos. It wasn't mentioned, but one of the upsides of the turbo motor in our opinions is it doesn't have Cylinder deactivation. I don't know of any manufacturers that have successfully introduced a Deactivation system that has true long term durability and reliability. We think the CX5 design is quite ageless. It has changed little but still looks good and fresh. I think the new Outlander looks hideous. it looks like just another bloated American market focussed vehicle.

@@daweigo6851 No, Cylinder deactivation happens on the open road when the engine load is low. Basically they mechanically close off half the valve train so the engine is only running on half its cylinders. It is a fuel saving strategy. The problem is the extra complexity needed and the fact the camshaft, rockers etc are being varied mechanically which adds additional failure points.

Great in depth review. This helped to solidify my decision to get this over a RAV4, CRV, or VW Taos. I want something practical but also fun to drive. I'm getting the Turbo but one trim down, which I actually prefer as the wheels and trim are black, as well as the front grill having black chrome(and the little red bit in the grill which lets people know I mean business, lol). The only thing I'd want from this trim is the upgraded leather but I'll survive. The fact this has a heated steering wheel and ventilated seats was huge, I also love the fact it's got remote start via the app(which wasn't discussed here so maybe that's just a US thing). So pumped to get mine this week!

At the end of the day, the late 2021 update CX-5 is merely a further progression and extension of the original Mazda Minagi concept which was revealed way back in March 2011. So, the ‘KX’ CX-5 platform is very much a creation of the 2010s. For those who are not in a rush to buy a compact Mazda SUV, one would perhaps be better served to wait for the next model. However, a true KX successor has not even been sighted in testing. So, who knows what Mazda’s plans are for the CX-5 for the middle part of the 2020s? If nothing else, the CX-5 serves the needs of those who want a truly compact SUV which is only 455cm long. As let’s face it, the new Mitsubishi Outlander GN at 471cm is too long for a good many of people. Especially for couples with no kids or only one child.

We opted for the 2022 CX5 AWD GT Turbo, just below the Akera but with the same engine specs. Had just over a month now. Things I love about it - the heads up display, very quiet inside the cabin, loads of pull from the engine and a great infotainment system. The seats are very comfortable and the memory function is great as my wife and I share the car. Things that aren't so great - it only has a 58L fuel tank so I'm having to go to the petrol station a lot more than I like, the electric boot is a bit slow to open and there are no shopping hooks (seriously!). I also find it really annoying that when I shut the engine off the accessories go off too, so I can't keep listening to the radio if I'm waiting to pick someone up without pressing the start button again to start the accessories. I hope their is a way, but the Mazda person didn't seem to know.

Seems it much have disappeared when they went to the longer/lower screen 😥 Pleased I got the version I have. I love the car it's a great drive. The rear seats are ALWAYS in the down position as I do lots of carrying of gear in the back ( no kids to worry about) I have only 2 complaints about the car. #1 a significant safety thing -- Fan speed buttons use require taking eyes off the road to use them. They are small and located low down. Should have been a better placed rotary knob for ease of use and no eyes leaving the road. #2 the hinge section of the drivers seat, on the right side, digs into my upper right thigh and gets freakin uncomfortable on longer trips. I have had to put in cushioning under the seat fabric/padding to try and ease the problem ( partly successful) Other than those 2 things, it's an awesome car and would buy another CX5 any day ( switched from multiple Toyota cars over many years) I/m tall, around 6'2 to 6'3 and trying to find a car that has both head and leg room for me is difficult.

My wife has the original 2012 top of the range and it’s been a great car, how ever the 2ltr engine is way under powered and I think the engine and transmission speak two different languages. It’s always in the wrong gear.

I Have the 21 GTR and even with the turbo the transmission just can't get it done. When i manually shift I get way better performance with a sacrifice in fuel economy

Ive been on youtube looking for vids about mazda cx-5 2022 and like in here some youtuber did 0-60miles or 0-100km, however there are discrepancies between them. redline review and alex auto (used 2021 cx-5 but with same turbo engine) did 0-60miles in about 6.5seconds while carexpert n PDrive TV did in 7.5seconds. is it because different type of fuel being used or mazda used different engine for north america and australia?
@ahmadrezaahmadi8684 Жыл бұрын
It is because of the fuel. If you use premium fuel, the HP will increase to 250 while with the normal fuel is 227 HP. That makes the difference.

The outlander is a great car for cruising along and it’s well equipped in the higher specs but it’s handling, especially body roll in cornering, is not comparable to the CX5, it isn’t a driver’s car like the Mazda. If you get the PHEV the cornering is quite alarming until you get used to it and take it easy.

The CX-7 turbo and the CX-5 turbo use totally different engines. CX-7 was the Mazda L-Engine (which Ford used as the Duratec and later the EcoBoost 2.0L/2.3L). CX-5 uses the Skyactiv-G which is a totally different concept

Hi Paul, what are your thoughts between this CX-5 top trim vs the GV70 2.5T? Is the Genesis infinitely better than the Mazda in terms of luxury/features and driving dynamics? Thinking of picking one up as a company vehicle so the price difference isn't a deal breaker. Thanks.
@User-cb4jm2 жыл бұрын
Genesis GV70 is poised to compete against the CX-60 or Lexus NX, not this. This goes up against a Hyundai Tucson or RAV4.

I didn't realize how small the boot space is in these things, I was parked one space over with a CX-5 rear facing to me at the shops waiting for my wife and the young lady owner was loading her shopping into the boot, she squashed her bags down closed the boot then had to raise it re push things in then it finally closed, it wasn't that many bags at all.. These things are not ideal grocery vehicles especially for a large shopping haul. The CX-5 is so much smaller in person than online video/pictures. In comparison the Subaru Forester is so much bigger in person than in video/pictures.. The Forester has a way better boot space for shopping bags..

The CX 5 sold in other parts of the world you can close the centre vents like the outer vents. Why don't we get that in Australia? Penny pinching for Oz? And also when is Mazda going to put DRL on all their cars instead of just the top models in Oz? Nealy all the other car manufactures have DRL across the whole range.

Mushy Suspension!? In Sep.22 I test drove the GT SP and appreciated the stiffer suspension all the reviews talk about. Coming from a Subaru it was a big deciding factor for me. Just picked up my 2022 Akera (built Oct.22) and have put 600km touring on it in 2 days. Have they changed the suspension or is the Akera tuned differently to the GT...for 75 year-olds (no ageism intended)? Yes it soaks up bumps but it wallows and dives through bends....not Zoom Zoom at all. Going in for the 1k service next week. Is there anything they can do to stiffen it up (please, please, please)?
