Conclusion
Basics - The CX-5 is the best selling vehicle in Mazda’s lineup. It’s a compact SUV that is in the same class as the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V and the Nissan Rogue.
The 2021 CX-5 brings about a new 10.25” infotainment system replacing the 2020 model’s 7” display. For 2021, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard in every trim.
2021 CX-5 also introduces a new trim called the Carbon Edition. It features an exclusive Polymetal Gray paint color and 19” black alloy wheels. The interior is outfitted with red leather seats and black honeycomb interior trimming on the dash and door panels. The Carbon Edition is great because it’s the least expensive way to get the more powerful turbo engine that was previously available only on the top two trims.
The Mazda CX-5 offers two engine options. The standard powertrain is the 2.5L normally aspirated 4 cylinder with 187 hp and 186 pound-feet of torque. The up level engine is Mazda’s torquey 2.5L turbocharged 4 cylinder producing 250 hp and 320 pound-feet of torque.
Both engines can be had with front wheel drive or all wheel drive. The only transmission is a 6 speed automatic.
Fuel economy is 25 city, 31 highway and 28 combined for the front wheel drive base engine and 24 city, 30 highway, and 26 combined for the all wheel drive base engine.
If you go up to the Turbo, you will get 23 city, 28 highway and 25 combined for the front wheel drive and lose one MPG with all wheel drive.
Interior - The upscale look and material quality is again not the usual traditional automaker but more luxury nameplate. Just look at the interior and if you compared it to the CR-V or the RAV-4, the CX-5 stands out. Mazda’s been really going upscale and you can tell as soon as you open the door that the feel is a class above the usual suspects. The big improvement for 2021 is that 10.25” center screen. It is no longer a touchscreen like the previous version but uses the rotary dial to control the interface.
Size - The CX-5’s interior dimensions are on the smaller side for this compact SUV segment. There’s 39.7” of headroom in the front and 39 inches in the rear. Legroom is 41” in the front and 39.6” in the rear.
Those numbers are average for the segment. The Subaru Forester will have significantly more room than the CX-5.
As for cargo space, the CX-5 is below average for the segment. Behind the rear seats, there’s 30.9 cubic feet of space and 59.6 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down. If you want a lot of cargo space, you’ll find 10 to 15 more cubic feet more in the competition.
Pros - There are several reasons why you may want to pick the CX-5 over the competition. First, it’s one of the best looking SUVs inside and out. Second, the CX-5 is universally praised for its superior driving dynamics. If steering feel and handling is important in your crossover, the CX-5 should be at the top of your list.
Cons - The CX-5 packaging is not as efficient as the competition. The exterior size is about the same as the CR-V or the Forester but the CS-5’s interior space is significantly smaller. Another con for the CX-5 is the fuel economy is so-so. The all wheel drive base engine gets 26 mpg versus the RAV4’s 30 mpg or the Forester’s 29 mpg.
Reliability - The CX-5 has an expected reliability of much better than average according to CR. It has held that mark for several years which is impressive.
Resale Value - The CX-5 has good expected resale value after 3 years of ownership at 67.3% retained value. After 5 years, it dips to 48.5% which is average. After 7 years, it’s at 38.3% retained value which is average. The RAV4 and CR-V will be worth significantly more if you tend to hang on to your vehicle longer.
Price and Trim - The CX-5 Sport is the base model and it starts at $25,270. Add $1,400 for all wheel drive. What’s nice for 2021 is this base Sport model includes the same 10.25” large center screen with AppleCarPlay and Android Auto.
The Sport trim has a lot of standard features including Mazda’s radar cruise control with stop and go function, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian
The next trim is the CX-5 Touring which starts at $27,010 and adds
The new for 2021 CX-5 Carbon Edition adds that special gray paint, red
The Grand Touring starts at $30,460 and adds a 10 speaker Bose audio system, leather seats, moonroof, power liftgate, LED tail lights, fog lights, heated mirror, and 19” silver wheels.
The Grand Touring Reserve starts at $35,285 and it adds the Turbo engine as well as all wheel drive.
The top of the line CX-5 Signature comes in at $37,405 and adds driver attention alert.

Thanks for watching. What do you think of the Mazda CX-5? Would you buy it over the luxury competition like a Lexus NX or BMW X3?
You are spot on! I am indeed speculating from either x3, Nx or even the GLC from the cx5. To think that until now I haven't totally crossed out the cx5 from my shortlist just shows that it is worth to consider. Handling is apparently a must for me thus CX5 is definitely a cheaper and practical alternative.
@@glennpadilla6508 Thank you. If you ignore the badge, Mazda's interior is up there with all the luxury brands. Like you said, if you care about handling and steering precision and feel, Mazda is really at the top of the heap. Good luck on picking your next SUV. It looks like you have a difficult decision but a fun one.
Lexus NX n BMW X3 both of this car price tag more expensive, engine performance Mazda still the best n value for money bro
@@henrywidjaja4982 That's what's amazing is that you get it all with the CX-5. The looks, the luxury, and the performance without paying the luxury nameplate price.
Thanks for the review. Excellent and awesome; loaded with all the right information. We’ve become a huge fan of your style of commentary.
One quick question, info about the new carbon edition that you put up does not have AWD mentioned on it (or did I miss it?). Is it standard or is it an additional $1400? There’s also rumors about black leather interior in addition to red?
Thanks for the great reviews and keep up the good work.
I have a 2021 Mazda CX-5 Signature. I absolutely love it! I have never had a vehicle that I intentionally go the route of curvy roads. It’s just so fun, so smooth.
I just bought a 2020 Signature a few weeks ago and love it. It's so fun to drive and so comfortable.
Awesome choice. The Signature model is so luxurious. Congratulations on a sweet car. What color did you pick?
@@carsavvy4764 Thanks! I got the Deep Blue Crystal Mica.
@@CoderGuyMan Nice color. You must get some compliments.
@@carsavvy4764 Indeed
Well done. I’ve been pouring over reviews before starting the test driving. I have to commend you on this review, for sure. Thorough review, super informative. Watched a lot of impressive reviews but this was best so far. Thank you.
Thanks a lot Christopher. Have fun with finalizing your choices.
I love love love this vehicle. I'm gonna raise my hand for Mazda despite the cons.
You're not alone. Mazda had its best ever October last month in sales and leading the way was the CX-5 so you're in good company.
Great review that focuses on comparison factors of pricing, re-sale & space among competitors of the same segment. One of the best videos on CX-5 ever.
I recently saw/drive one and WOW I was impressed! I had no idea Mazda was such high quality.
Mazda is making some great cars.
Loved it so much I brought my new blue 2021 GS AWD home yesterday from the dealer. Had a roof rack & towing hitch & trailer wiring along with winter tires on rims installed. What a great drive!
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for taking the time to create this informative video. We are shopping for a new car and your video was helpful.
Absolutely. Good luck on your car shopping.
Great review. Well done. Thank you.
Cargo space is overrated. Most people don't actually need it as you can easily fold the back seats if you need it. MAZDA blows every car manufacturers out the water in terms of bang for buck
Thanks Neth BT for your comment.
We just bought a 2021 signature machine grey and we love it 👍
Thanks for the excellent information,soon I'll be getting one...
thank you, the best review with additional perpectives.
Wow, thanks!
Got CX-5 2021 three weeks ago. I love it!!
Congrats Jermie on your new CX-5! Did you consider any other vehicles?
This is the BEST review of the Mazda CX5 I have seen on RUclips. Very precise and informative 👌. Great job...
Thank you Chukwumobi!
after driving axela for close to 3yrs have just made mazda my favourite car brand they are so sweet on the road
Awesome. Thanks Justin.
I just bought a black CX-5 Touring. Front wheel drive, non turbo. So far, I really like it. Great gas mileage, fun to drive. The Bose stereo system sounds awesome.
Glad to hear.
I just bought a CX5 grand touring. I love it! Still trying to figure out how everything works. The styling is beautiful and it handles just as well as the luxury cars i test drove. I'm very pleased with my purchase! I paid extra and got red! It's beautiful!
Right on!
We bought a new CX-5 in 2017. It is so much fun to drive. Very comfortable too. Grand touring model awd.
Great choice, Paul. Glad to hear that you like your CX-5.
Thanks for sharing this video, interesting information.
Nice review! Enjoyed watching...you come across as very credible...thank you
Thank you Allen B! I appreciate that. Are you shopping for a CX-5?
@@carsavvy4764 Kind of...getting very close to retirement! Looking at CX-5 and CX-9. Leaning towards CX-5 now with a trailer hitch bike rack.
@@allenb4823 Congrats on being near retirement. Both good choices between the CX-5 and the CX-9. MTB or road bike?
@@carsavvy4764 Gravel bike!
Great video! I have a 2019 CX-5 GT with the Premium Package in Snowflake White Pearl. I love the car but hate the infotainment system and was considering getting the 2021 for the new infotainment system but after watching your video and seeing the feature comparisons on the different models I would have to step way up to a much higher model at a much higher price to get the same features I have now. I think I'm going to keep my 2019 and deal with the slow infotainment system. Mazda makes a great luxury vehicle at an affordable price.
Thanks Mike for your comment. Glad to hear that you love your CX-5 GT.
Great review. You avoided spending precious minutes on boring stuff and instead really nailed the most important features, including reliability and resale value. Thank you. I’m going to turn in my Audi A4 lease and get one of these. I like luxury and drivability and don’t care about brand optics.
I appreciate your feedback. I'm sure Mazda would love to have someone like you, Joe, that is an Audi driver switching to the CX-5. It's really belongs in the luxury segment with its performance and luxurious interior. Have fun when you get the awesome CX-5.
Just the facts, that's what I like about this Guy.
I just traded in my Subaru Forester for the soul red CX-5 and absolutely LOVE it! A great vehicle for the money, hard to beat. Looks awesome, drives like a dream, comfortable, reliable and draws many compliments. Mazda really hit a home run with the CX-5
Im on the fence of trading in my 2016 forester for CX-5. What trim cx did you go with?
@@gmee123 I’m in Canada, I got the GS all wheel drive model with Comfort Package, everything I need and nothing I don’t. The forester is a good vehicle but you won’t miss the little quirks such as having to unlock doors manually before getting out. The CX-5 doors unlock with the opening latch and will lock automatically when put in gear.
Wow, you really value cx 5 that much since you compared it to the luxury brands.. Mazda is that good of a car..
Thank you for watching.. I would choose the Mazda over the luxury competition if it were my own money.
Do you know if all models have active driving display?
It is so underrated it is mind blowing. Great driving dynamics, reliable, looks fantastic in and out, one of the most reliable and best in it`s class manual transmission. Yet, people somehow chose NISSAN with it`s shitty CVT. I wonder why? It is indeed a mystery for me as to why Mazda is so underrated. Great video!
I agree with you. I think the vast majority of the public cares more about the infotainment system than steering feel or driving dynamics.
@@carsavvy4764 infotainment system in this segment of suvs is crap. Rav4 , C-rv are no exception.
@@timkudryavtsev4133 You're right. The CR-V one is pretty laggy and the RAV4 one is pretty basic.
I think its a great car but I heard the suspension is somewhat stiff and people want a softer ride (and therefor worse handling)
@@Bremsen26 If you want a softer ride then take a look at the Forester. It's not going to handle nearly as well as the CX-5 but will be more compliant.
Yes I really like the Mazda CX-5. I want to purchase the 2021 sonic silver metallic color with black interior. Reliable, safe, stylish and priced well.
Nice choice, Angela! Since the CX-5 is so upscale, did you consider any other options from luxury makers like Lexus or Audi?
Recently bot 2020 GTR...when looking the fun and feel of road and behind wheel were well above the competition ...sacrificed on the cargo and gas mileage ... was worth it ... top of the "bottom" of mainstream vs bottom of top luxury brands
I like your choice of trim the GTR. Mazda definitely on the upper tier of normal brands. Heck, if they put a BMW badge in the grill, people would be raving about how great it is and willing to pay thousands more.
Just got my cx5 2021 two days ago.. I’m in love!
Congrats on your CX-5! Did you consider anything else before deciding on the CX-5?
@MDonnapp how much did you buy it for after dealer discounts ? I'm trying to get one as well
Just got my 2021 on Nov. 11th, so I’m breaking it in-It’s slightly different than the 2018 I owned. Just inserted my SD card today.
@@kosmosbjm That's fantastic. Do you like the new infotainment system?
@@carsavvy4764 I didn’t have Android Auto or Apple Play in my 2018, so it’s definitely a step up. My favorite feature though is the speed display in the windshield. I LOVE the addition of the automatic folding side mirrors as well, way to go Mazda!!! I’m still learning how to operate the new infotainment system & navigation system, and you have to love the Bose system stereo!!!
Skyactive compression engine + turbon is very responsive at low to high rpm, in general the top speed of the car is turned high 5000-6000rpm, interior premium quality with Bose sound system, affordable price
Good points, Henry. Thanks.
In CANADA, we still don't get that updated wider screen in 2021. It's Android Auto though...Got my CX5 GS FWD barely a month ago
It's disappointing that Mazda's not including the new screen on the base model in Canada. You have to go up a trim level to get the new screen.
December 2019 I was considering 2019 CX5 signatures versus 2019 Audi Q5 Prem plus, after discounts on each the Audi was $10,000 more. Would have bought the CX5 Signature but the drivers seat was significantly less comfortable for a tall person than the Q5 sport seat with thigh extender.
Thanks for sharing, Old Timer. The Q5 is a great luxury SUV. Those thigh extenders and things like 4 way lumbar are the extras that you get in a true luxury car. Congrats.
Is the new screen at all trim levels? I thought it was only for the top 2 trims. The base 2021 model I saw at the dealership didn't have this new screen. I booked the GS trim
Yes, all trims of the 2021 CX-5s have the new 10.25" screen, even the base model Sport. The 2020 models had either a 7" or an 8" screen.
Sorry DarkNoha. I just realized that you're in Canada when you mentioned GS trim. So you're right. Mazda gives you a 8" screen for the base GX trim in Canada. C'mon Mazda! With how much they charge in Canada, the 10.25" screen should be standard. Anyways, congrats on ordering your new CX-5!
its already 2022 but here in the Philippines we are only offered the 7" screen.......I wanted to get the AWD sport 2.5L but it feels to outdated.....
Correction: In Canada, the CX-5 only gets an 8" infotainment system. In the US, all trims get that new 10.25" infotainment. Sorry if there was confusion. (Corrected)
Ooooof. Thanks for the clarification!
I just bought a. 2021 signature edition. Great vehicle. In Canada we are stuck with the old infotainment system even on the highest trims
@@tomrobertson943 Thanks for the info Tom. That's too bad. I heard that Canadian models get wireless CarPlay?
@@carsavvy4764 Yeah, wireless CarPlay is listed on the Signature and on the GT trims. I'm curious as to how well it actually works.
Brutal that all trim levels only get the 8-inch display here in Canada. What a joke!
@@meliodas4560 I don't get it either. Mazda shouldn't be trying to unload their older system to our friends in Canada.
Do you think its worth trading in a 2019 cx 5 touring for the carbon edition turbo cx 5? Interested in the updated infotainment and the turbo engine.
That's a tough question. The infotainment will have better resolution and be snappier. If you like brisk acceleration, the turbo will be significantly quicker than the standard engine. The Carbon Edition is just a great deal in terms of price for what you get. Good luck.
Got a 2021 CX-5 GTR with all the other extra add-ons. So far seems like a pretty nice car. I keep my vehicles a long time. 2000 Tundra w/240K miles and runs perfectly. Well see how far the CX-5 goes. Don't especially care for the electric steering and throttle.
The Carbon edition also includes the 10 speaker Bose sound system
Does the CX5 have Sirius XM radio?
Is the new 10.25" system faster (startup/loading) than the old one? The old 8" took like 15-20 seconds to boot up!
Yes it's faster overall with better resolution.
I use that time to let the engine warm up
Does anyone know the answer to this: My HUD on the 2018 Mazda displayed both the road’s current driving speed plus MY driving speed. So far on the 2021, I can only see my current driving speed on the HUD. Any idea how I can get both speeds on my HUD again?
Maybe you've found out by now, but i believe you go into the Settings, In-Vehicle Displays, Active Driving Display, and make sure all the boxes are check marked. I'm not sure how it knows what the speed limit is. I think the radar has to SEE the speed limit sign first. But maybe it's also Navigation based? I hope this helps... If it doesn't, im not sure :(
You might have already figured it out by now but you need the navigation sd card so the vehicle had current speed limits.
From 'ordinary' drivers, do we really need the turbo? It costs more, uses premium gas and last not as long. Mazda's 2.5 NA engine is very peppy with 187 HP. Need your expert opinion. Thank you.
I don't think ordinary drivers need the turbo. The standard engine is plenty adequate for everyday driving.
The carbon edition also offers a 10- speaker bose audio system
I checked it out, and they don't. You'll need to get a more expensive trim to get the 10- Bose speakers. The Carbon Edition comes with 6 speakers.
@@ericclaeyborn7008 I just ordered one, it definitely comes with the 10-speaker Bose system.
The 2021 had the Bose but in the 2022 it no longer exists. So sad.
@@annv4338 rip.
Thanks. CX-5 is on my short list as I am replacing my car in the spring,
You would be hard pressed to find a better SUV in this segment unless you need the biggest cargo space.
Take the car for a test ride you not going to be disappointed. We bought new one in 2018 , as of today we have 35,000 miles, NO issue what's so ever. The only con is lack of Torque. The CX-5 is absolutely great car design, sporty, and gas mileage AWD ( over 30 miles per gallon all the time ). we will diffidently buy by 2022-3 a new CX-5.
That prior infotainment system was more than slightly outdated. Hood struts would be nice and pairing back the number of trims would be great. Otherwise, it’s a great car, though that new SkyActive X turbo engine has a spotty record, though the Rav4 is much worse at all trims. This car is quieter, because it has double laminated windows that make the cabin very quiet vs all the competition. The Rav4 is loud. I think you meant BMW X3.
what would be your choice on turbo or non turbo?
I would get the non turbo for myself because I think the base engine is plenty powerful. Which one are you leaning towards?
I'd get the turbo so I won't get the Cylinder Deactivation for the engine.
I still do not understand how you can use Android auto without a touch screen. It just seems impossible. You have to pinch to zoom to do any searching on the map screen.
They do sell or should I say lease plenty of them. There is always a nice selction of pre owned certified CX-5 models to choose from. in my area I am glad that Mazda did not go to an 8 speed transmission. Lately it seems that most cars with either 8 or 10 speed transmissions have had thier teething problems. I am keeping my fingers crossed that when a total re design comes around Mazda doesn't screw things up
I just got the CX-5 carbon turbo AWD edition. I love the red leather seats, but man the 250 HP, 320 lb torque makes a huge difference. Yes the CX-5 carbon edition turbo AWD, doesn't have the space or the standard features like the Rogue, CRV, Tucson, (all of these have better standard features like 360 camera, heated steering wheel, etc), but what it does have is better throttle response, power, and driving ability. I chose the CX-5 because it felt like I was actually driving the car, instead of the car driving me. So far after 3 days of ownership it has been a blast, I just might get an aftermarket intake so I can hear the turbo louder.
Congrats on your awesome purchase of the CX-5 Carbon Edition! You are a car enthusiast for sure. The CX-5 is perfect for drivers like you who care about throttle response and driving enjoyment.
Wait for the next gen CX-50 the replacement of the CX-5 will be change to RWD platform with inline4/6 engines, I think it will play apart from the German competitor as BMW X3 and Mercedes GLC is a RWD layout. Mazda will be the more affordable oriented compared to the German.
Thanks Ultimusss LoL. I think it's a good move for Mazda to go for the RWD and inline 6. It'll set them apart from the other Japanese companies using FWD platforms.
@@carsavvy4764 Totally agree on that. Compared to design from other Japanese car they are unlikely to be boring as other brand.
I hope the RWD will come with a limited-slip differential in the rear axle.
I have to say when I was car shopping the Mazda CX-5 was not on my list at all. My husband suggested I take a look, I did and was so pleasantly surprised!!! I test drove the new Kia Serento and was not nearly as impressed of course it had more room but I was blown away by the driving experience, Interior design of the CX-5 and sound system also when I was told about the My Mazda App I was sold. I’ve had it now for 2 months and I really enjoy driving it! My last car had CVT in it and I ended up hating it! Can’t wait to see what else Mazda brings to the table in coming years with a design remodel.
Love this vehicle but, what’s with the black interiors?!!!
It's a safe choice by Mazda. What color interior would be ideal for you?
Cream or gray.
@@hiramdomcam4648 Agreed.
Please tell me they improved the brakes. I test drove a 2020 and the brakes where soft and needed to be improved.
Mazda did not change the brakes for 2021. Did you test drive the standard or turbo engine? The turbo engine trims get larger brakes than standard engine trims.
Yes, I test drove the Grand Touring and the Signature model. Everything else was great but I couldn’t get by the soft brakes.
Both had the turbocharged engine.
@@davidandrews4655 Ok then it's not going to be any better in the 2021 version. Too bad, that's probably a deal breaker for you, right?
@@carsavvy4764 Yes, I went with a Acura RDX with the Tech package. So far I love it. Thanks!!!
Just got my 2021 on Nov. 11, so breaking it in. It’s slightly different than my 2018. Just inserted the new SD card!
Where are we on the rust situation?
Good question. There was a recall in 2019 for 2011 to 2013 Mazda6 models for rust but I couldn't find any on the CX-5.
I have a 2019 Signature and what I don't understand with this car is why they sell so few compared to Nissan, Honda and Toyota. Compared to the brands mentioned this car blows the competition out of the water in every way, but interior space.
Agreed. Thanks for your comment. Nice you got the Signature model. That trim shames everything from a non-luxury nameplate in terms of materials and design. I don't understand it either.
@@carsavvy4764 This car plays much better with the luxury models and should be compared against them, but unlike Lexus and BMW this car comes with a $10 000 to $15 000 lower price tag. Definitely the best CUV you can buy for the price.
@@paulcu130 Completely agree with you. Congrats on your awesome purchase.
Maybe bc this car doesn't have all the features the rest have...people want touchscreen, remote start, panoramic roof, a short gear shift that creates more space for the center console, wireless charging....
@@yupitsme112 Good points. You should be a consultant for Mazda! Thanks for your input.
I wish Mazda had a touch screen infotainment system.
I agree. I find it strange that even the 2020 CX-5 had a touchscreen that you can only use while stopped.
Still have paint issues?
I'm not sure. It seems like the soul red crystal has had chipping issues for some people.
I have the 2018 model in red and it has a few chips but no worse than any other car I've had. It's also the best car I've ever had. Drives like a dream and gets plenty of admiring looks. One happy Mazda customer.
@@richardholmes5209 Awesome to hear. Thanks for the helpful post.
If you can turn off the stop start feature, count me in.
Yes you can disable it.
The 2021 CX-5 in the U.S. don't have iStop (or Engine Stop/Start feature). I bought one.
I am considering buying. The question is which one? Lots of the models, which would be the best value?
Touring is the best bang for buck if you don't want turbo. Otherwise, the carbon edition would best bang for the buck there.
Carbon edition turbo. Great way to get a peppier engine with all the touring trim stuff
I love the exterior but might be too small in the back for my kids.
It's pretty roomy for passenger space but the cargo area is noticeably smaller.
LED headlights are not standard in all the packages.
the stigma of Ford is killing the sales of Mazda.
I agree. Now they're teaming up with Toyota so we'll see how that goes.
АЛЛАХ ДАЙ МНЕ ТОЖЕ Mazda CX5 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👌💋😍💖🌹
If only the CX-5 was a tad bit bigger. It doesn't have to be CR V big but at least as big as an Equinox for starters.
I understand. It's a deal breaker for some. Good luck.
The CRV (182") is only 3 inches longer than the CX-5 (179"), and the Equinox is longer than both, at 183". The hype has gotten you believing the CRV is bigger than the Equinox. The RAV4 is 181" long. The CX-5 is higher than these listed at 68" high. RAV4 (67"), CRV (66"), Equinox (65").
@@ericclaeyborn7008 The CR-V has more overall cargo space (75.8 ft3) than the Equinox (63.9 ft3) despite being a bit shorter. Also the 'midsize' CX-9 sits at 68" tall while the CX-5 sits at 65", both of which have less overall cargo space (71.2 ft3 and 59.6ft3 respectively) than the CR-V.
Japanese well built quality vehicle
The only thing holding me back is that it doesn’t come with remote start. 😩
2021 CX-5 does come with remote start on all trim levels. It's via an app on your smartphone.
L
bmw x5？
The X5 is a lovely SUV but starts at $60,000. Are you interested in the X5?
@@carsavvy4764 You uses cx5 to compare with x5 at 10:21. I think that you means bmw x3.
@@thedarkkinght2467 My bad. You're right, it's supposed to be X3. Let's face it. No one's cross-shopping the CX-5 to a X3 either. Maybe a X1 to a CX-5 since they're closer in price.
Car Savvy x1 gets expensive when you adds up those packages. Acura Rdx is a better rival product than bmws
@@thedarkkinght2467 You're right. All the German luxury brands charge a lot for options. Agreed, the RDX is a good comparison to the CX-5 Turbo.
Y don’t u just do the actual car video
i dont care about display
touchscreen is BS whilst driving. Drivers also care about rust and Mazda's are rustbuckets.
If the media screen is not a touch screen >> then, NOT INTERESTED in a purchase.
Thanks Roger Janes. I agree that Mazda should have made it a touchscreen.
The new Infotainment monitor is easy to control from the control panel near the shifter. No need for fingerprints and a tired arm.
Dude. The control dial is awesome. Takes about a week to get use to it. But, I wouldn’t have a touch screen after this
CX5 badly need redesigning since 2017...
What do you mean it still looks fresh!
@@movementonwheels According to you.. it's been 5 years they could not improve on space thats y they are loosing majority of buyers and highly priced...
There are rumors Mazda is going to replicate BMW X5 design which will make it even more expensive...
@@denverd513 I find nothing wrong with the new CX-5. And it's still Mazda's best seller.
The majority of car lovers disagree w that
Touch screen is the way to go. It was stupid to go with the rotary dial.
Infotainment is the most terrible part of all Mazda. Not even close to the competition.
Leather seats are NOT exemplary of "upscale"! Leather is derived from slaughtered animals who screamed in pain just before they died. Horrible! WHY can't car makers get with the mindset of enlightened people and STOP using animal products in their cars?!
They offer cloth and leatherette as well.
