People complaining it's expensive and they'd rather buy a different SUV have obviously never tried driving a Mazda, especially a CX-8, CX-9 or the previous version of CX-5. Ride comfort is unmatched given the price point.
@@teejaysalgado9819 the only valid comparison for me is probably getting a CX-8 7-seater over this given they have the same price point, but then again if you compare this CX-5's torque and hp vs the CX-8, the latter will be left behind
Sorry but it is expensive regardless if i havent driven one or not. I mean i havent driven a Ferrari and i can say its expensive. The issue here is its expensive for its category, be it size or branding. Its not luxury, not even above Subaru in that level and same with the size. Lets not even start with the tech as this is prev gen tech. Not even a hybrid or ev. The only thing it has going for it is the mazda blood red color and the 5 year pms. Lets be objective and remove or atleast not show the mazda fanboyism in our comments.
Some people complaining about the price 😅 this is really more of a buy with your heart rather than a buy with your head/wallet. You don't really need that much power for a daily driver. There are even larger, possibly more fuel efficient, and more well equipped SUVs at that price point. But you know what, there are people who'd want to buy it just because it's a Mazda, just like how some people buy Apple products (just because it's an Apple). There are people who want it just because it looks cool. There are people who appreciate the made in japan tag and the increased build quality we've come to expect with that tag.There are people who want it simply for the way it drives and its suspension tuning. There are people who want all those 230+ horses and appreciate the AWD system. And as long as they can afford it, why the hell not! Kung saan ka masaya! If you think it's too expensive for what it is or what it offers, then it's probably not for you. I personally would really want the Mazda 3 AWD Turbo with the same engine. It's even more impractical and probably even more expensive if we had it here. But it's something I'd never get tired of looking at and driving everyday. Smiles per liter = no regrets 😆
True! Mazda's target market is not really the masses and more for people who want to enjoy the finer things in life. People usually compare it with the diesel SUVS like Fortuner, Everest, etc. because of its price point. You buy a Mazda because you want to enjoy it rather than thinking of practicality.
we have the 22 awd, we got it months before the turbo came out, sayang. it truly is an awesome drive and you really need to try it to believe it. alot of haters lng talaga. dont buy it if you dont wanna, end of discussion. diba?
@@carlosantos9205 yeah, but think of it like cruise control with really good auto steering. Amazing in traffic jams, just sitting back and letting the car drive for me.
I understand the "smiles per liter" i have a 2018 forester premium bought it to be my daily but i kept on using my wrx. I recently sold my forester and replaced it with the mazda cx5 awd tubro nothing beats "speed and power".
You should watch savagegeese YT channel.. the video about the 4th gen Mazda 3 is quite detailed.. and MOTOMAN where the engineers of mazda like dave coleman and the japanese engineer who designed the G vectoring of mazda were interviewed
@walterwine as much as I hate Chinese brands flooding the ph market bring it on. The Japanese distributors here are getting too comfortable on their choke hold on the Filipino consumers when it comes to giving us features.
What's up with Mazda Phi not bringing the newer screens. Feels like they're throwing old stock screens to our country. Pretty annoying to look at when everybody else gets the new screens.
7:25 it lays down 250 on premium fuel. But I truly enjoyed the vid brother...oh. amd the wrap under the door is actually for drowning out road noise but as a side note. Yes, it does keep your pants clean
Cx5 is my fave car, the styling is gorgeous but i need one as a hybrid or elec. The cost of fuel is horrendous and my country is trying to stamp out diesel vehicles
I already saw one in person when it was newly released and man it looked, feel and even smell so premium. Worth the price of 2M..!! If only I have the cash I would get this one!!! I hope you can have a test drive of the new Hyundai Tucson as well. I am considering that over this one.
I can't afford this coz i don't have any to buy to, but by viewing this video im just totally amazed with Mazda's and by the presentation that you've precisely deliver is enough for me especially with a spice of jokes makes the content cool.
We haven’t owned a Mazda car before. The only thing that hold us back from owning one is the fact that their casa is somewhat distant from our place. I hope dad will consider buying this one or the Miata instead. I have been driving a number of cars over the years and Mazda has been teasing me to give it a try.
You'll just need to go to the casa twice a year (PMS is scheduled every six months instead of the usual three months on some other brands), so really, distance from the casa won't be too much of a hassle 😉
It's unfortunate how Subaru killed off the XT right when it's competitors became more powerful. Now it's one of the slowest SUVs out there. How the mighty have fallen no?
Not sure if I remember it right but do the previous CX-5 have touchscreen infotainment? I thought all Mazda infotainment system can only be controlled with the center knob behind the shifter because it's safer and it keeps your eyes on the road.
As always you get the best review from sir Kako. Hoping to see your Comparo for Toyota Raize 1.0 Turbo CVT or the Toyota Raize 1.2 G CVT against the Hyundai Venue GL. I would love to see you do that soonest hopefully. Thank you.
that infotainment screen should be 8" not 7" (Asean 8" spec). but so much people complaint poor that 8" screen, other country CX-5 already move to 10.25 inch HD screen start since 2020.
For me! Between the 6X-8 and the 6X-9 This CX-5 is alrdy o so perfect for me,.Since I'm also well despite the huge tunnel on the second row (it just shows that it's a 4seater SUV) instead of,,..A 5seater unlike its other siblings where it's got extra seats on the cargo.Which can really get uncomfortable since besides the seats they don't have air vents too unlike this one,.The CX-5 where it's got a-c's on the second row And since Mazda,.Is my most fave ultimate dream car! Besides the Mazda-3 I might someday purchase one of these too,,..The Cx5 since for my book! Now it is a head turner too 😉
We could have gone for mazda, particularly this or the cx8 or cx9 only problem is we live down south, like region 5 down south and we do not have a Mazda dealer and service center here.
I almost bought this last 2021 the last gen since this is one of my dream car. But i can't afford seems like it is priced with mid sized suvs so i just went for a Mazda3

tonneau cover ……. ‘Tahn-no’ cover (2 syllables) ……. Not ragging. You should see my wife laugh when i try to pronounce Tagalog words. I really enjoy your car reviews.
I just wished they kept the plastic cladding or have a sporty variant that has it. What’s the point of having crazy HP numbers or an AWD when you have to take care of the underbody of your car 😂
Don't know what wrong with my driving but i don't get 8km/l in the city and 15 on the highway with this car. i can do that with my fxt but with this car i'm so far from those numbers. only 6.5-7 city and 11 highway

totally agree! Heck even the older cx5 drives better than the latest models of these so called compact suvs!

Mazda PH, when facelift for the lower variants CX-5?
Great review as always! Hope we can see the MHybrid Mazda 3 too to be able to see its fuel efficiency.
It's odd Mazda Philippines decided to not include the new infotainment that some of the new cx5 get on other countries, it's a huge deciding factor.
I totally agree with you.😀
Ganon naman lagi any brands, always stripped down of features pagdating sa Pinas
