CX-5 should be compared with Tucson.
Sorento is a bit bigger still faster.Impressive.
Tucson is from Hyundai. If you want from Kia, then its the Sportage.
I had the worst experience having a Kia car. This was my first time I chose Kia because I liked the car that I was going to lease. The previous two cars that I drove were Toyota and they never ever gave me problems that usually an older car gives (one Problem on top of another). Imagine you trust the company, you get a brand new car thinking that “hey it’s a new car. I’m not going to have all the problems that old cars give" and then one day you wake up, your car is not starting, the next day brake lights don’t work, the following week another problem comes up.
@@frommorningnight146 Kia 10 years ago is not the same as today's Kia. The reliability ranking shows Hyunda Kia group have vastly improve their product.
@Jose Alberto Rosa-Suliveres mazda is half owned by toyota since 2015 so these new cx-5 generation 2017 and up have alot of internal toyota parts and sensors which for durability is a great thing. they are half mazda original parts and half toyota since prior to 2015 mazda was half owned by ford and used ford parts which made there durability a little shoddy. like mazdas were known for transmission issues for a while and its because they didnt have their own gearbox like they do in the 2015 and up cars they used a GM gearbox
@@tonymante8759 great piece of info. Definitely helps to make buying decisions. Thanks!
I bought this Sorrento 6 months ago. I am very satisfied.
Odd comparison. Outside of the engine, they don't compete. CX-5 is a compact, lighter SUV, whereas the Sorento is a mid-size SUV. The CX-9 has the same turbo as the CX-5 and would be a closer comparison.
but the CX-9 is quite a bit bigger than the Sorento. If we’re talking apples to apples comparison, it would be Telluride vs CX-9 or Sportage vs CX-5.
@@brandonczw the third row in the Telluride has more height and hence can be used for adults unlike the 3rd row in CX-9 and Sorento which has a low height and can be used by kids only. Also, the Telluride has far more cargo room with the third row up. A better comparison would have been the CX-9.
The CX-9 wouldn't stand a chance either, considering it's the same engine as on the CX-5 that just lost to the Sorento. I think it's down to the transmission really. The Kia's dual clutch just translates to more power on the wheels than the torque converter on the Mazda.
@@SharapovaFan That's true, it wouldn't beat the Sorento. Mazda really needs to upgrade their transmissions. Just saying the CX-9 is also a small midsize 3-row.
I have the 2021 kia sorrento sx turbo prestige...its a fantastic suv...fast...even faster in sport mode...all the upgrades are fabulous...absolutely love it...
Very nice!
Love the Mazda interior love the Kia interior as well. I'd take the Kia though. Both exteriors look good but the Kia has a more rugged and exciting look.
agree
But it's a Kia c'mon! They are nannies cars
They sure are! Lol!
The Sorento's loose ride is because of the softer suspension. It's actually better for soaking up bumps in the road. Mazda suspensions can feel a little stiff when pavement starts getting bumpy but is better for taking corners. It depends what is more your preference: a smooth ride, or tighter handling.
Spot on
Kia is no joke these days. They have proved themselves; well done Kia!
It's still a kia.
@@laosracer12 lmao
I have a 2019 Sorento 2.2 diesel turbo 4 wd my 3 Rd Kia diesel now , had many different diesel cars... This is the best and most reliable car I have
@@laosracer12 LMAOO AHAHA
nah its not just a kia. you cant compare an 02 to a current gen. same goes with hyundai. they have respectable engineers and are creating fantastic cars. in the past i would be ashamed to be seen in one.. these days i'm looking for a new sorento.
My car is a Sorento and it never made me sorry for buying it.
My 2016 Kia Sorento seized on 8/16/19... stopped in the middle of the highway. No lights, no sounds, nothing. Did some investigating and it was out of oil. Just had it changed on 6/7/19. Dealership is refusing to honor the lifetime warranty. Again, no lights, no warning, no nothing. 5.5 quarts of oil went somewhere in two months. Or at least that's what was SUPPOSED to be in there. The
@@learn2237 I don't think so. Engine running out of oil doesn't just seize with all the electricals out. If you said your battery got conked out, i would have believes you.
Which year I own a 2014 one
Does Sorento have adaptive front lighting system?
Kia all day long
Mazda for interior soft touch and stitched materials approaching and better than lux automakers. KIA for fleshed out features and value with above average matetials.
Sorento is a midsize SUV with much more HP. Why we comparing it to a compact SUV?
CX-5 Turbo AWD VS KIA Seltos SX was the two I was deciding between. Ended up buying the CX-5 Turbo AWD Carbon edition with the Red Leather Interior and love it. Better horsepower and torque, refined styling and driver feel. Mazda built engine and automatic transmission and build quality over Kia & Hyundai’s horrible track record of engine and transmission failures. Warranties are great until you have to deal with the inconvenience of having to use them.
Got the exact same thing. I'm loving it!
Same here I love my Carbon Turbo red leather seating🥰
I'm a rotary head so when my wife needed a new SUV the CX5 turbo was the only option and we were not disappointed. It's all the small details and build quality that really pushes it over the limit. Mazda when made in Japan makes some of the best cars on the planet and they last.
Amen!
Mazda does have an amazing interior. Fit and finish is great.
I’ll take Mazda any day love solid fast cars
cheaper...
And better...
I think the Sorennto is better looking and for sure much more practical with better technology and warranty. A clear winner to me but I think the Plug in Sorento will be the best choice if you value efficiency.
Please make sure CX-5 put on 0W-20 or 0W-30 engine oil in North America, because the Mazda factory gave 5w-30 and make this engine reduce power when temperature lower than -10°C even -5°C (2021 tested)
The kia looks much better than the soccer mom mazda
Well KIA is for widows! Lol!
I drive the sorrento and seltos two days ago. Both feel so solid. I'm getting a Seltos in 3 weeks.
Kia looks better IMO . I also hate the technology in the Mazda . It’s like they just superglued a small tablet to the dash . Why
I also dislike the tech in the Mazda! But longterm reliability, Mazda is better. I'd be driving my Mazda for ten years and still be able to sell it at ucar market but your KIA will be junk after the warranty goes out. That's why you don't see old kias going around. KIA infotainment is good but not good enough to grep the car going.
I misspelled keep*
Never thought I’d be replacing one of my fords for a Kia but needed to downsize and Kia Sorento offered more for the money. Picked up a 22 Sorento 2.5 turbo and replaced 07 expedition. So far wife loves her new car. According to a “friend” this damn thing will go past 125mph
I will take my Sorento anyday. I love it everyday. I would compare the Mazda to a sportage over the Sorento as well. The cx9 I believe next size up would be comparable to the Sorento since the weight and size is completely different in the 2.
I agree with the commenters. Would prefer the Kia
You prefer KIA cut in ten years when your warranty goes out and you can't afford the repairs, I'd be still driving my Mazda to ucar market to sell. Once the warranty is out on KIA , those cars are scrap!
That CX 5 is a 2020 not a 2021 the 2021 CX 5 has significantly improved launch
There is no way that the Kia flew by the Mazda that fast once things were going on. It literally looks like the person in the Mazda just gave up. In order for the Kia to walk the Mazda like that it would have to have 100 plus more HP.
Great point! I'd take Mazda any day over KIA!
The CX-5 should be compared with the Kia Sportage. The Sorento is a bit bigger.
boring to compare apples to apples...
@@SamCarLegion which is then makes this comparison not fair and invalid. Ok kinda silly.
Come on Kia!! 😂 💯
He should learn how to race, had a .5s lag but Kia still ended up smoking the outdated cx5 turbo engine.
Mazda is old school.
Kia has wet dual clutch, mazda old 6speed. Mazda is a generations behind
Different transmissions have different pros and cons. Do some research on what you require from a transmission before you make such across-the-board judgements. Conventional automatics still have their purpose in modern cars.
Hyundai KIA duel clutch are known to be rubbish! Even worse than Nissan CVT!
@@mrgurulittle7000 that right incase of 1.6 engines with dry dual clutch. 2.5 has wet dual clutches and automotive reviewers praise that clutch for being better than VW.
Yeah but VW's aren't very reliable and the Mazda auto transmission s are more reliable. KIA goes for new tech but there's no need to throw away old tech like auto transmission which are tried and true.
that immediate pedal response on the Mazda is very telling
That’s the difference between engaging a clutch vs a loaded torque converter.
Plus the guy driving the kia isn't very good at launching
Nope. They response almost exactly together ! How the car behave from a dig is different!
Maybe if they both hit it at the same time they might have an accurate comparison...
I definitely agree that the Kia felt a bit loose when I test drove it. I didn’t feel like a had control over it. The Kia of course was bigger but I decided to go with the Mazda! It’s just so much fun to drive.
Anyone who has sat in a CX-5 in the backseat squeezed between two car seats would have a completely different definitions of refinement and ride quality. These two cars definitely have different markets. The Sorento should be compared to two row midsized SUVs with the third row being a bonus feature. From the reviews and specs I've seen, the CX-9 isn't large enough inside to justify it's length.
Could be wrong, but that looks like a 2020 CX-5. They updated the screen/entertainment system for 2021 and that’s the old one. It’s now way higher quality. Awesome vid tho
Technically it’s 2021.5 build dates with the update
I've just bought a 2021 CX5 with the new 10.25 inch infotainment display. Total quality. Cannot go wrong with this unless the 7 seats are important.
I have a 2023 X-Line SX Prestige for almost a year and love it so far! The X-Line has a different front facia and rear bumper. Also has more clearance than a non-X-Line trim. There are some after market mods for the Kia as well.
Kia looks rock!
You should find a better road for your drag races, and i tried the Sorento, and it feels pretty dam solid to me, don't see how you feel it loose ?
The mazda is just tighter and sportier in everyway except speed. That's how
New Sorento is a nice car specially the X-Line BUT its so stupid that the X-Line doesn't come with the leather seats or any upgrades!!
The USA version the xline is the top model , all leather every option possible so weird that the models are so different
@@dmpnyc710 its so weird that they don't know that extra jacked up models like the X-Line will be the most popular model in Canada due to Xhit loads of snow
It's a fair comparison for those looking for a 5 seater but considering a 7 seater. The CX9 is a step above the Sorento in price and size. I think the Mazda is very refined but it's aging so it's had time to become more refined. The Kia shines in overall value and a style that fits a move into this decade. Great review!
Well said!! Thank you
Probably the Mazda cx9 would have been a better comparison to the Sorento .
I have had my 2022 kia sorento x line sx prestige for a week. I absolutely love it!!
I had so many issues with my CX5 I'll never go back to Mazda. Love both my Hyundai and Kia
Use to be a hyundai/kia owner for over 8 years now, no issues, no letdowns, not even minor ..would be very hard to explain to myself why quit something that works so well( for me) in terms of value
When U Telling About the Price of Vehicles Kindly Provide All Trims Price List on Secreen That May b More Helpful For Us.... Thank You Review is Awesome
Will do!!
Mazdas look dorky and frumpy with long overhangs and squinty lights.
I guess a dork knows what's dorky! Lol!
Mazda didn't even come close! In a full quarter mile the Mazda finishes three car lengths behind at least.
@@2004cyrus both are 4 cylinder 2.5l turbo and kia motor is far more powerful. Sorry but Mazda doesn't come even close.
@@jakeb8551 but it is much more costlier as well, Mazda is much cheaper
Sorry but Mazda is too fast for a KIA!! Jake B
Agree! K kb
I dont understand your comparisons. These two cars are not from the same league. You should be comparing sorrento with cx9 or cx5 with sporatge. The other day you were comparing mazda3 turbo to golf r, should have been mazda3 turbo vs golf gti . Disappointed
Car & Driver Magazine gave the Mazda CX-5 turbo a 6.1 seconds 0 to 60. Other speed test for the Sorento tubo was around 7.2. seconds 0 to 60
I don't think those are the new numbers...
I cannot believe people like the Mazda over the Sorento. Honestly think people are blind.
You're blind! Mazda is better to people who know what a decent car is!
Hey what did you 3 row Suv & Small SUV 2 row where a Mazda CX 9
What about kia telluride vs mazda ???
Agree is should be cx9 and Sorento would be a closer match
@@dmpnyc710 cx9 is 5k more than a sorento, 11” longer than a sorento. Cx9 vs telluride and sorento fits in between a cx9 and a cx5 kinda like a cx7.

That’s a 2020 cx5 lol the 2021 model has a 10-1/4 “ infotainment screen… and yes he was actually saying the Kia is cheaply made but I think it’s still a nice car
Love my sapphire blue SX sorento
That Masada is ugly on the outside IMO inside interiors is great but the screen no wireless charging pad is a big dislike for me
Its not ugly! Look at the kkia sportage and that is what defines ugly!
I appreciate the comparison of the two. Just bought the carbon edition turbo FWD. I think many guys cross shop this size vehicles. I agree with your assessment. To save some fumes you will find people respond better to driving dynamics and road manners are a step above and the like... Avoid better. GL I enjoy your content Sam!
Thank you!
The taller, boxier Sorento makes more sense for me because as a saltwater fisherman, I can fit more gear and ice chests in a car like that versus the Mazda. That said, really curious about the hybrid, would allow me to daily the car without feeling guilty about using so much gas. Also, with 600 miles of range, it means less times going to the gas station in general, which is always a good thing when you save time out of your busy day.
I recently bought a Lexus NX300 hybrid, and it doesn't save that much gas if you are mostly driving on the freeway. The only reason why you have gas in the city driving is because they really limit the take off when you are at a stop. The impatient idiots behind you with a gas car will start tailgating or honking at you. Once it gets going, it drives as quickly as a gas car. In my opinion, either go with a gas car with good mileage, or go EV like a Tesla or Mach E. Hybrids are not for me.
not even close kia much better looking
CX-5 is quicker on take-off bcs the torque comes up at 2000 rpm vs the Tucson's that later in the rev range
I would think the cc5 would compete more w the 21 Tucson.
Maybe you should compare the sorento to the cx9
Thank you for your insight- now which Mazda goes up against the Kia Telluride?
This guy do honest review
In this class, I think Id be looking at this all new Hyundai Tucson.. Looks really impressive..
Hey can you do a video of the sorento vs the telluride
I also say the Mazda is all euro looking small lights pressy look to the North American big rugged intimation feature I love.
Very fair video Sam! I like the CX 5! Thanks for the video!
Never seen a red white black interior in the mazda. Kinda weird.
Interesting comparison. I do not think they are direct competitors but each car is in unique position due to their engines, etc. CX-5 is technically in the same class as Tucson, Sportage, RAV4, Rogue, etc. However its turbo engine at higher trims really separates it from the class. Maybe its direct competitor would be Tucson N line (if they decide to make one) or the top trim Sportage. I can't really think of a direct competitor of Sorento other than Santa Fe, which is pretty much the same car from the mechanical point. Tiguan has similar size, etc but it is comparable only at lower trims of Sorento due to the power. I've test driven both cars and for me Sorento was my pick but not because of the ride quality. CX-5 was tad more fun to drive but I guess it was because of the size difference between the two. They both ride great but technologies in Sorento fit my needs much better. The latest CX-5 we get in Canada has previous version of infotainment with horrible 360 view and laggy software. Their latest infotainment comes with much better cameras and response is much quicker but it is not a touch screen. I guess it comes down to personal preferences in the end. Some people don't really care about cameras and stuffs but for me, having a good touch screen with good 360 view are two of the things I definitely need to have for a family car like these.
Same here. Until Mazda updates their tech, it’s the sorento for me. How’s urs holding up so far? Any issues?
The Kia look more nice
This guy is biased. CX5 looks better than Sorento? I think he was joking. Also, the Sorento does not need 91 octane to develop it's full power but the CX5 needs it because then it will only put out 227hp. Running on premium gas 100% of the time will cost you and even then the Sorento is the winner for most hp. Kia is the winner for looks, technology and better hp.
Mazda is better than KIA! KIA is for nannys!
Can you please do the Hyundai Sonata n lien vs the accord please!
KIA is better than the Mazda. Different class SUV.
Both are really good and the only ones in the mainstream segment that could be replacements for luxury cars.
I actually prefer the exterior look of the previous Mazda CX5.
I don’t know about Canada but a top spec cx5 with turbo cost at least $10k less than a top spec Sorrento in Australia … it’s not really comparable not to mention the wait time on getting a sorento is like 8months+ wait
Kia Sportage is the equivalent of mazda Cx-5. Kia Sorento is the equivalent of mazda cx-9.
No, the Kia Telluride is the equivalent of CX-9.
@@brandonczw True, but CX-5 is still the equivalent of Kia Sportage and not Sorento.
Kia is better
Yeah! For those who like disposable cars!
Is faster in comfort mode with traction control off
Massive turbo lag on the sorento.
Just on exterior styling, the Kia is better looking to me. The Mazda has a nicer quality interior, and the red paint they offer looks amazing. But on exterior styling, interior space, I would go with the Kia if I were in this market.
As a 2021 CX-5 (non-turbo but it doesn't factor into my argument) I HAVE comment on the 'Soul Red' paint.
It is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING and a major, probably a top 3 criteria, reason I chose it but, beware, and IDK if this is a 'systemic' problem or what but.... it chips, etc fairly easily. From sand, dust and dirt on the hwy and superficial scratches; which sucks because, as I said, I LOVE LOVE LOVE that color!
But I've also heard/ read that this is a problem with THAT color paint.
(Also, I had the 'Simoniz Clear Coat' option done at the dealership and i have a nagging 'suspicion' that THAT may be a partial cause, surprisingly!)
That's my question to why didn't you test the CX-9 over this vehicle I would think they're the bigger vehicles
Which Mazda goes up against the Kia Telluride?
Cx9 is too slow. Heavier than Sorento and less power. Mazda ride MUCH better. It's in a higher class than the Sorento. Now Mazda, on your redesigns, how about space for people and gear, bigger than small Japanese school girls and their ipads!
That still don't make no sense to me that not in the same body style or qualifications if the CX-5 was going up against the Equinox then maybe we was talkin but that's a rental going up a CX-5 that doesn't make any sense to me and I don't see the comparison of the two you need to find something else that's going to make me convinced that a better fit
Kia is way better these days.
Mazda front fascia looks the same from sedans to SUV. 🤔 😒
Which type of gasoline you fill mazda for this race ?
Maybe my eyes are bad, cause the Sorento looks much better to me...
That luxury interior of the Mazda is looking alot less luxurious with the new offerings from kia....
If I'm worried about floor mats fitting like that, I'd just buy weather tech...
I’d say Mazda looks better from interior standpoint while I like Kia’s more rugged look in the exterior.. not a fan of the sloping down hood in Mazda..
Mazda cx9 best of best
I would like to see the Mazda CX5 turbo up against the Acura RDX Please.
I would too!
You didn’t turn off auto stops that’s why you had a delay when trying to take off try it again
This is a joke because this is not right comparison because there is a size difference and class difference, finally
weight difference. I don't think you are not to be called an expert for reviewing this kind of review.
Are you protesting 😂😂
It is a ridiculous comparison indeed.
Don't watch it then! Are you a expert on joke!
kia sportage goes agianst the cx-5 cx-9 goes against the sorento.
that being said mazdas drive and feel tight and well put together compared to any other care in the class like toyota honda kia hyundai the actual feel of the drive the car suspension etc it all feels really well put together and tight nothing feels floaty feels lose airy etc its a strange way of putting it but everything about it feels really tight really well put together and refined
the interior qaulity is unmatched the new mazda does have a 10.3 inch updated screen and system etc however i feel it lacks it the tech department still without wireless charging and a high rez 360 camera.
I have a Mazda CX5 that's a few years old. Driving is fine. HOWEVER, the tech is INFURIATING!! Cant listen to the radio and have Google maps instructions at tje same time. The heated seats take forever and the AC was never cold. All in, a decent car but looking to upgrade to the New Genesis GV70 ot GV80 SUVs..
LOL, I respect his opinions but reviewer sounds bit Bias... and wrong vehicles comparison in my opinion.
Popularity of the video disagrees with you
I think its fair! I mean they're both turbo's!
For the record, at 189.4" in length the Sorento is firmly within a large group of smaller midsize mainstream crossovers that range from 188" to 192" in length. Those vehicles include the Hyundai Santa Fe, the Ford Edge, the Subaru Outback, the Nissan Murano, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Chevy Blazer, the Toyota Venza, etc. Altogether about 17 separate model with every mainstream manufacturer except Mazda offering a vehicle in the sub-category. A second group of larger midsize vehicles come from all those manufacturers, plus Mazda that range in length from 195" (Highlander) to 204" (Chevy Traverse) and includes vehicles like the category averages about 181" in length represented by vehicles like the RAV4, CRV, Equinox, Forester, and Rogue among others with the VW Tiguan being the largest "compact" crossover at 185" long.*
What distinguishes the Sorento from its competitors in the smaller midsize category is simply its standard third row seating, a unique feature in the group. Otherwise, however, it is closely related to its corporate sibling the very similar Hyundai Santa Fe and in terms of size it's definitely an midsize crossover by American standards. By the same token, the Mazda CX-5 is obviously a compact crossover both in size and price. Though some consumers might cross shop the Sorento and the CX-5, comparing them is akin to evaluating an apple vs a pineapple.
The absurdity of the comparison is clearest in the discussion of cargo space in the two vehicles. (4:13) where the CX-5 is characterized as having "tons" of space behind the second row. The actual specs tell a different story. The KIA Sorento has 38.4 cubic ft of cargo space behind the second row compared to 30.9 cf in the Mazda. In terms of total cargo space behind the first row the Sorento offers 75.5 cubic ft vs the CX-5's 59.6 cf, an overall difference of nearly 27%. Of course, that's not surprising considering that the Sorento is about 10" longer than the CX-5 and KIA is especially adept at interior packaging but to imply that the Sorento's advantage lies solely in having 3rd row seating is simply ridiculous.
All I can say is that Sam's definition of midsize and full size crossovers is unique to say the least. His claim that most midsize SUVs don't offer a third row (4:45) ignores the conventional inclusion of everything from a Toyota Highlander to a Subaru Ascent, a Honda Pilot, a KIA Telluride, a Hyundai Palisade, a Nissan Pathfinder, a Ford Explorer, a VW Atlas, a Dodge Durango, etc.
In short, the CX-5 has its strengths as does the Sorento but they're simply no more comparable vehicles than a CX-5 and a VW Cross Sport.
* Although the Tiguan is typically considered to be a compact crossover in America it is seen as a midsize vehicle in Europe where the Atlas and Cross Sport are not even sold and the largest VW sold is the Touareg, a vehicle 192" in length that would be considered "midsize" in North America.
** The VW Cross Sport is something of an outlier as well. It's 195.5" long, about 1.5" longer than the Highlander, the smallest of the larger midsize group but limited to two rows of seats. And unlike other 2 row vehicles that are half a foot or more shorter than their 3 row cousins, the Cross Sport is only about 3" shorter than its larger sibling the Atlas.
I am getting notifications from Google Analytics: this video is very popular. I think that shows a lot.

@@SamCarLegion Sorry, Sam. Accuracy of information and success in generating attention are independent of one another. As the attention generated from 2016 to 2020 by a certain political candidate in the US demonstrated.
@@stephenhendricks103 your accuracy can’t be measured with everyone. My goal is provide people with what they ask, whether it’s a crossover vs 3 row suv. The market is what I follow. I understand these two aren’t the same segment, but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t compare them. I did the same with Rav4 vs Crosstrek and I have received praises. It’s nice to compare different models.
Good luck with that DSG from Kia, you’ll see!
Need opinions, mazda 9 carbon for 37k or telluride night edition for 48k?
This is my opinion but I just don’t see the wow factor everybody see in the Mazda of the interior it kinda looks like a Walmart version of a Lexus RX 350 in my opinion the screen placement looks awkward and it looks very small, so that’s just my opinion and the exterior is very round it doesn’t have any rugged or dynamic point on the exterior which is disappointing if they modernized the car for practical everyday use I would consider buying this car but it just looks to dated more for a older person than a younger person I’d rather the Kia it looks more aggressive and put together
You should try the CX -9 vs Sorento NOT the CX - 5.
Telluride, not Sorento , vs the CX-9
I would take the Mazda any day based on reliability and Mazda engineering.
Too bad the Mazda is tiny inside. Mazda's secret sauce is always to make the cars as small as possible within the category. That way, they save weight and can achieve better handling than anything else in the segment. But as a tall guy, I just never fit in their cars, period. I would say the cx-5 should be compared to sub-compacts, let's just be honest. Thing is tiny.
OK we need more clarification are you doing this with paddle shift or what mode setting (comfort, sport, smart). Also maybe someone can make a video that shows the performance difference for each mode. I was in smart on my 21 kia sorento SX Prestige and a mazda (100% recognize the emblem) next to me (could have been the CX-9) we were neck and neck neither was getting advantage.. but for purpose of this video need to know what mode you were in. I expected to win and at least get ahead but was surprised I did not.
Fast forward 3 years later the Mazda is still plugging along and the Kia is on it's third transmission because that dual clutch is junk
Sir this is not a fair comparison. The Mazda Cx5 should be Compared to the Kia Sportage.
Mazda really need to bring back the Zoom Zoom sonner than later
The sportage is more comparable buuuut it doesn’t have a 2.5t
Good video! Quick question, was the Mazda running on 93 octane? I know that makes a significant difference vs regular with this engine type. Also, how about the Passpot vs the Sorento. Both powerful front wheel drive based SUV'S should make for a good race. Perhaps the Chevy Blazer as well with the 3.6 liter in it.
Yes running 94
The Kia used regular gas, I have a Kia Forte GT 1.6 turbo with 201hp and used regular gas, used the same 2.5 from the Veloster motor with different tuning.
