Great review. I have actually been looking at both of these vehicles as a possible replacement for my Honda Passport. So thanks for the comparison. I don’t need as much room anymore. I really like how Mazda offer turbos on all their vehicles all the way down to their smallest CX30.
i enjoy all of his reviews. no super-duper mechanical engineer stuff, but real world everyday driving stuff. nails it. i watch every vid he puts out. speaking of super-duper mech stuff....the cx5 and cx30 are very different. at least from the the front seatback to the rear bumper, and underneath. underneath especially. 30 is closer to the 50 than 5. Much. looking forward to next video from this channel.
I’ve always liked Mazda for its driver focused ergonomics, their signature red metallic paint, and well finished interiors (with maybe one area of improvement, the location of the touchscreen which has always seemed to be tacked on rather than arranged within easier reach of the driver). One thing that concerns me about Mazda in general has been a lack of emphasis on fuel efficiency. Rather than borrowing an engine and transmission from its sister company, Toyota, they better focus on their own internal combustion engines, and a better integrated hybrid system. While we will have a new administration that certainly will undo efficiency requirements, USA is not Mazda’s only customer. And if fuel prices go up drastically, so will go down Mazda’s market share. Hybrid designs, if done right can replace expensive improvisations such as turbo chargers and superchargers, with the torque of electric assist… full-size EV could be considered in the future when solid state batteries are available.
You bring up some very good points. It will be interesting to see what Mazda does in the future and how they’ll stay competitive enough in each of their markets. I’m excited to drive the Hybrid 50 soon. But I feel that will be an interesting experience to have the Toyota powertrain and less impressive AWD system under the hood of that vehicle. Although both companies 2.5L engine do have quite similar characteristics.

Thanks! Definitely test drive a turbo 30, they’re a hoot haha.

When you drop the Seats you remove the Head rest and they will lay flat.
I believe the 2025 CX-5 has cylinder deactivation & auto start-stop on the non-turbo.
There’s some variation I’ve seen between the examples I’ve driven. Idk if supply chain issues are still a thing but it’s interesting.
the top trims of the NA do. lower, no.
