How is it merging on the highway? I asked this because I rented a 2018 which is pretty much the same vehicle and trying to merge on the freeway it kinda struggles. But in 2022 the they did some updates to the transmission the suppose to make it more responsive.
@@ivan72087 If your car was made in the last 40 years it can merge just fine. People need to quit acting like they need to break the landspeed record to get on the highway. It's not the engine that's the problem. It's user error
I had no doubts in my mind for months I wanted the cx30. But when I test drove I felt way too cluttered , and felt like visibility was limited all around. I test drove the cx5 and absolutely loved it. headroom and visibility are way better. So happy with my purchase.
I just bought the 2024 CX5 Carbon Edition with red leather seats and I absolutely love it! I am still trying to figure out how to use all of the features. 😂
@user-wz6gd1qv4i No. I have been using my maps on Apple car play with no issues. The longer I have this vehicle, the more I love it. I’m so happy with my purchase. ❤️
@@IAmJeka wired, but that doesn’t bother me at all. I think if I had purchased the turbo or had gone with the premium plus or higher it would have come wireless.
Can you please tell me why SiriusXM isn't standard on all Mazda trims? Will there be any plans for it in the future? Did not realize I didn't have Sirius until I call trying to get it activated in my new Mazda.
Yeah, it's only included on the Premium trim levels or above. Makes no sense since the Carbon Edition comes with the Bose sound system and other Premium level features.
so i have a problem. when I lock the windows so the other passengers can't operate them why can't the driver check them too? normally all the windows from the driver's seat should be able to be controlled. there is a solution;
Thanks for the review.I have a 2020 CX-5 grand touring premium, and I noticed that the headlight and taillight design on my premium is different than the turing or a lower trim levels. Is it the same case with the 2023 version of the car? Are there different headlights and taillights for the different trim levels?
@Jonathan Sewell thanks for the reply. I'm torn between a 2023 CX-5 Carbon or the Premium. Both are a step down from my current 2020 CX-5 Gran Touring Premium but either one will save me money on the lease. If you had to go with one of the 2, which one would it be and why?
It is a special paint. After seeing what a normal car wash does to a car I've sworn them off entirely and either wash at home or use the touchless spots since home washing isn't super great from a water usage perspective. But those normal brush filled washes are one of the worst things you can put your car thru. I have a couple rock chips and touch-up paint can't quite match the factory application process with the metallic flake. It will show up at certain angles within 5 feet. It's certainly a paint you want to wax or ceramic coat regularly, and if you plan on owning it 10+ years and you care about your vehicle ppf isn't unreasonable. Regardless of what your friends and loved ones might say...
I have a polymetal gray 3 with the black leatherette interior and it is nice and clean for sure. But after I bought some custom cover pieces for the interior gloss black I've been wishing that the red leather interior was available on my trim. A bright red might be a bit obnoxious but that darker red is classy.
When I automatically start my car, my seat warmer won’t go on even if I left it on when I shut the car off. Is there a way to change that? I use the app to remotely start my car
I have the 2021 CX5 Carbon Edition. BEST decision I made !! LOVE THIS CAR … This is my 5th Mazda !!! Never had an issues with any of them ..
Just bought my 2024 Carbon Edition CX5 and I love it.

Congratulations! 🎉 Did you get the red leather seats, or the black?

I just bought one.
So happy with my purchase.
how does the power feel ?

Does it have Apple CarPlay wireless or wired?
@@IAmJeka wired, but that doesn’t bother me at all. I think if I had purchased the turbo or had gone with the premium plus or higher it would have come wireless.
In Mexico, the rear cargo floor can be flipped, it has a rubberized surface opposite to the carpet side
I wish this trim had the signature lights.
HI JOHNATHAN thanks for sharing the information
I was lucky enough to get a 2021 Carbon Edition with the Turbo engine. I got the best of both worlds with this trim! Super happy about that.
Any advice about taking care of the turbo engine?
I have 2021 carbon edition n.a. engine. My lease is up in march then I will get the turbo engine...
I’ve had a 2021 carbon edition for two years and did not know about most of these features. Thanks for the tips!
I'm in TX and get my Mazda info from this guy.
Love my 2024 carbon edition!! Apple car play is now touch screen too
Thank for review. Mazda CX 5 Carbon Edition specially in this color and with red cherry interior is the Best !
On my second CX-5 Signature, and didn't know about the option of pressing the exterior door button twice to unlock all doors.
Glad it helped 👍🏻. You also can change it in settings to open all doors for first press of door and key fob.
the carbon edition should be the top of the line w/ all the bell and whistles
I would love that! 👍🏻
Gorgeous Vehicle!
I am trying to decide between this car or the CX-50.
I just love the interior of the CX5 Carbon addition.
Very helpful.
Awesome!
Huh. Just learned something new about my '22 cx5 carbon edition. Thanks!
Thank you for the short but full of information review!
I appreciate you!
I did not know I could drop down my rear cargo liner.
Did you miss proximity lock. With keys in pocket, close the last door "beep", walk away "beep", doors are locked. That's one of my favorites.
My 2021 touring preferred has all these features
Can you please tell me why SiriusXM isn't standard on all Mazda trims? Will there be any plans for it in the future? Did not realize I didn't have Sirius until I call trying to get it activated in my new Mazda.
I have sxm in my Mazda
Yeah, it's only included on the Premium trim levels or above. Makes no sense since the Carbon Edition comes with the Bose sound system and other Premium level features.
Arnt the majority of these features on most new vehicles? Or is it just me?
I wish the side mirrors were heated.
I’m pretty sure they are heated, just not power folding
If there's a 2024 CX-5, I hope there's a Carbon Grey Turbo w/ the gloss back trim on the bottom and around wheel wells
so i have a problem. when I lock the windows so the other passengers can't operate them why can't the driver check them too? normally all the windows from the driver's seat should be able to be controlled. there is a solution;
I have a 2021 carbon edition & I didn't know @ least 5 of those things...
Fantastic!
Thanks for the review.I have a 2020 CX-5 grand touring premium, and I noticed that the headlight and taillight design on my premium is different than the turing or a lower trim levels. Is it the same case with the 2023 version of the car? Are there different headlights and taillights for the different trim levels?
Yes, the Grand Touring (Now Premium) and higher have the signature lighting with adaptive headlights and more LED accents.

Can the carbon edition use a normal car wash? (Is it fussy metallic paint?)

@@markcoopers1930 thanks man, appreciate that a lot!
Apple car play functions with the touchscreen while stopped by default and there is a setting to allow while in motion.
Does the android work with touch?
I’m considering getting a carbon. Idk what interior though 😢

I would love lime green leather seats! 😊
Since your in the biz..what's the best way to achieve this car for around 30/31k? Hope you answer ☺
Where are paddle shifters behind the staring.

Does 2023 Mazda CX-5 Carbon Edition really have a Power lift gate? It doesn't say so on the Mazda USA website. Can you please confirm?
Most of them do now. Earlier this year they didn’t because of chip shortages
Does the 2.5L NA engine still has cylinder deactivation?
My 2023 carbon doesn’t have the tail gate button and is not automatic
They built some in 2022 and early 2023 that did not have that option.
What’s the point of remote start if the air conditioning doesn’t come on?
is there a way to turn off the day time running light
If it's like my Mazda 3, you should be able to turn it off in the settings.
I believe it's part of the light controls.
I would like with Fabric seat’s it’s Real hot 🥵 in FLORIDA
The car is great but no satellite radio capability pisses me off to no end.
For my family we found that Spotify is a better option.
Love that mid 2000s goatee. You look and act every bit a used car salesman
Ur fun
