@Jonathan Sewell: I binged watch many of your videos the past few days as we pondered buying a CX-5. I’m happy to report that we finalized a deal today for a 2.5 S Preferred in Soul Re Crystal Metallic exterior with Parchment interior. The MSRP was $31,460 and we got it for $29,960! $1,500 off sticker is pretty good I think. And we get 2.9% for 36 months. Amazing vehicle for under $30k. Wife is thrilled for her new ride. I cannot thank you enough for all of the content you provide, it really helped me make a decision on the best trim line for us. Looking forward to many years of service from the CX-5! We pick it up Tuesday afternoon. Its our first ever Mazda. I have always been a Ford guy and my wife a Honda gal. We did not care for their offerings in the segment and we were fortunate enough to have read and watched several rave reviews of the CX-5.
I pulled mine off the lot on January 7th with 17 miles on the odometer. I went with the Signature in Machine Gray. It's hands down the best car I've ever owned! It was gorgeous already but it's about to be super slick as I am about to have the black rims, black lugs and lug locks put on it and will also have the front windows tinted to match the back windows. I feel extremely blessed. 😍
@@johannbrandstatter7419 No but the lord has guided me in all areas of life and that includes leading me to the work I do that has blessed me with a means to afford to pay for it myself. If you thought I used the word, blessed, as a way to avoid using some other word, like lucky, you are sorely mistaken. Not that I need to explain myself to a stranger but I did indeed choose the word blessed on purpose because I know the difficulties I have faced in life. So yes, I am blessed. Again, I don't need to explain anything to anyone but my higher power has been my guiding force and if I hadn't let the workings of my higher power in to my heart and my life, then I wouldn't be in a position to pay for my car. Say what you want about it but I know my life and what the work that the lord has done in my life to get me from point A to point B. 😊
Just got my 2022 CX-5 sport design in machine grey. Loving it, and it came with all features. Only thing I might complain about is the rear view camera. My 2019 Mazda 3 sport had the active target lines and and different views. A bit surprised Mazda didn’t update the camera for the 2022 CX 5. Nothing I would lose sleep over. If the trim was offered in sonic silver I would have gone for that color. But machine grey is cool as well.
Carbon edition is my favorite also. Love that red interior, as red is my favorite color. Going to get one at the end of this year. Thanks for the info.
Can you do a video about what each feature does for instance each manufacturers lane keep assist aren't all the same. So on and so forth. Thanks for the video 👍🏻
Thanks for this informative video. You have said premium quality for the base model which has squeaky cloth seats, definitely not sound premium to me. Will go for upper trims.
Thanks for another informative video Jonathan! Quick questions: It was mentioned/shown that the Turbo model is available with black or parchment interior. I thought they had dropped the parchment at this level (was available on the previous GTR trim) when they changed it to Turbo trim in '22. Think only choice on Turbo is black with red stitching? Also, doesn't the Turbo have the black headliner too? It was only mentioned/shown on the Signature.
They have shown Black and Parchment interior as optional on the Turbo, but I’ve only seen vehicles with the black. The Black headliner is only available on Signature.
They should have a Metroidian edition in Zercon Sand with side guards to protect doors in parking garages, 20" chrome wheels, messaging seats, and ambient lighting with multicolor selection.
Looking at used models but jeez for the price of a 2018 GT I can get a 2023 for a few grand more. I am interested in long term reliability and COMFORT! Are there any bug differences in seat comfort between the trims?
Thanks for the info. I was hoping to get a CX5 Signature in the new white in 2024 when my current CX5 GT lease ends. Are there any rumors that Mazda might discontinue the CX5 in the near future? I am in Ontario Canada.
The CX-5 is the top selling Mazda by a wide margin. It's not going anywhere until another model outsells it by a wide margin. That's not going to happen for quite some time. It'll probably get a major refresh in 2024/25 just because it's due.
@@cusebike5391 I agree. Cx-50 and Cx-5 are not the same type of vehicles. Cx-5 is a pretty new platform (8-9 years old) and very popular. With that said, it is time to refresh the body style
Like the other comments, I don’t see CX-5 going anywhere and do feel it will get a refresh in the next couple of years after all the new CX are released.
The 2022/23 non turbo models in USA were 2.5 S, Select, Preferred, Carbon Edition, Premium, and Premium Plus. Turbo only were Turbo models and Signature.
@@JSS thanks, but there’s one thing important about this skyactivG engine, is that the cylinders deactivation costs this car only average 13mpg when city drive with a/c music CarPlay and ventilated seat driver side on, which is worse than f-150
Is the non turbo version strong enough to get on an interstate at the speed limit? I mean,. like not getting on at about 45 or 50 and taking a while to get to 65. I don't need any getting to 60mph from a dead stop.
If I can get onto the 70 mph Texas highways with 106hp 2016 scion iA (mazda 2) with a 0-60 of 9.1 seconds you will be fine in the 8~ seconds it takes the naturally aspirated cx5
I have a 2018 grand touring and i'm looking at the 2023 Carbon edition but im concerned about losing the navigation and power lift gate. Can you get these features on the Carbon edition?
I think the CX-5 is getting a little long in the tooth. Wondering if Jonathan has any inside information as to when there might be a complete redesign coming.
It seems that Bose audio is available in 2022 premium model with just a little price increase. But why did Mazda remove Bose audio from premium trim and make it only available in premium S for 2023? It doesn’t make sense.
Which year? I can't remember when it became standard exactly, but I know all 2021's and newer have it standard. I would check with a charging cable to see if it connects

How did you get it below msrp? Lots of bargaining? Or did they make it easy?
This is the best informational video by far, for anybody in the market for the CX-5.
Thank you for all the detailed information 😊.
Dude love your car vids. Been doing HEAVY research on new SUV's. Your content on Mazdas is very much appreciated.
I feel lucky having a 21 Touring Preferred, with the 10 speaker Bose, moonroof, parchment leather, power seats all under $31K new.
Yes, rare to see these days 😁
this is what I had, just totaled couple weeks ago. I'm looking for this, but it's not one of these 8?
lol to get that I have to pay 34k with taxes included. People leave out taxes in their OTD price all the time, did you do that too?

You are " blessed " ? Did the god of your choice pay for it?

I put a deposit down on 2023 CX-5 Carbon Edition with black interior. In transit. Should be here in a couple of weeks.

Exactly what I think... I wonder if Mazda can update the software to add this feature or is it hardware based... Not sure..
Do any of the cx-5 have active target lines? I am just starting to look at them and was trying to figure it out.
Carbon edition is my favorite also. Love that red interior, as red is my favorite color. Going to get one at the end of this year. Thanks for the info.
Awesome! Congratulations!
Thank you. This was very helpful to my research.
Looking to get the CX-5 S Select in the near future (3-6 months). Great informative video!
Just bought Premium Plus..if you can move up in trim you'll be happier in long run for about 50.00 a month more
Can you do a video about what each feature does for instance each manufacturers lane keep assist aren't all the same. So on and so forth. Thanks for the video 👍🏻
I’ll be happy to…I may wait for the next 2022 CX-5
@Jonathan Sewell
can you do an UPDATE on this video as I am confused with the Bose, Tailgates, other features now available on other trims
Thank you for a very detailed video.
Thank you. First day in sales. Have service history but need to learn the trims lol
All trims should have heated mirrors. I was disappointed that they weren't included with the carbon edition.
I’m hoping to buy the turbo model in next week or two!😃😃😃
Awesome!
I’m looking at the Select & Carbon
Thanks for this informative video. You have said premium quality for the base model which has squeaky cloth seats, definitely not sound premium to me. Will go for upper trims.

Maybe soon 😂
@@JSS GR8! I will get with the Van Halen power lift gate early warning audio system too...

Great breakdown. May i ask, Jonatan. Does it mean you can get the non turbo on each of the trim levels for the Mazda cx5 for 2022/23?
The 2022/23 non turbo models in USA were 2.5 S, Select, Preferred, Carbon Edition, Premium, and Premium Plus. Turbo only were Turbo models and Signature.
So it means all the trim levels have both engines available. ie turbo and non turbo. Only the signature comes with only the turbo engine?
awesome John,! love cx5 turbo soul crystal red tnx 4 the info.
I bought premium plus a week ago. Everyone should choose this option, other option u might need to wait for months
Congratulations!
@@JSS thanks, but there’s one thing important about this skyactivG engine, is that the cylinders deactivation costs this car only average 13mpg when city drive with a/c music CarPlay and ventilated seat driver side on, which is worse than f-150
My bro ! Crisp ass videos ! Keep it up! One question! Cx5 is not being replaced by cx50? Hahaha
Thank you. CX-5 is not going away.
Confused...the preferred now has power lift gate
Yes, they caught up with chips/modules and returned to putting power liftgates on the Preferred. Still no Bose though in 2023.
What happened to the heads up display ?
It’s the Active Driving Display on Premium Plus and higher.
Sir, I’m looking into getting a cx5 turbo with parchment leather . It seems that the 2022 models don’t have that option . Does the 2023 version ?
You may be able to order a 2023 soon.
@@JSS thank you . I hope so .
Question, does the 2023 CX-5 Premium Pluss has wireless Apple Carplay?
Is the non turbo version strong enough to get on an interstate at the speed limit? I mean,. like not getting on at about 45 or 50 and taking a while to get to 65. I don't need any getting to 60mph from a dead stop.
If I can get onto the 70 mph Texas highways with 106hp 2016 scion iA (mazda 2) with a 0-60 of 9.1 seconds you will be fine in the 8~ seconds it takes the naturally aspirated cx5
I have a 2018 grand touring and i'm looking at the 2023 Carbon edition but im concerned about losing the navigation and power lift gate. Can you get these features on the Carbon edition?
is there a front parking sensors and navigation on 2.5 turbo trim?
Navigation is optional (with card). No sensors until Signature.
The preferred and carbon trims don't really add that much. More appearance than anything.
I think the CX-5 is getting a little long in the tooth. Wondering if Jonathan has any inside information as to when there might be a complete redesign coming.
Which trim is the most Value for Money?
I would say the Preferred and Carbon Edition are really nice.
@@JSS Thank you so much for this valuable insight.
On the turbo does black lug nuts come with it or is it a upcharge ?
i'm confused with all those trims. what about the touring? or grand touring? not one of these?
After market heated mirrors on the base and I'm good.
Great review Jonathan. Sorry if I missed this, but when will the 2023 CX5 be available?
I don’t know exactly 😂. I do expect them to arrive before that end of the year.
@@JSS Thank you.
I’ve seen some at my local dealer in Maryland
It seems that Bose audio is available in 2022 premium model with just a little price increase. But why did Mazda remove Bose audio from premium trim and make it only available in premium S for 2023? It doesn’t make sense.
I think it’s the microchip shortage
Any details on the 2023 CX 30?
Test drove a cx5 2.5 s and the dealer told me to get android car play it would be an extra $450.00.
Which year? I can't remember when it became standard exactly, but I know all 2021's and newer have it standard. I would check with a charging cable to see if it connects
@@JSS 2023
Are we getting the procross
💯
All you have to do is get the parts for a power lift gate and have it installed 🤦🏼♂️
I’m sure you can do that. It will cost a lot more than $160 🥴 The chip module is going to be the hard part though. Unless you buy a used one.
I keep hearing how crappy the paint is on Mazdas (easy to scratch and chip).
You really gotta get rid of that stupid song at the beginning
