I have a 2014 mazda 6 with this drivetrain and have been very happy with it. He's right that the engine/transmission pairing is excellent. It's not fast, but its adequate, efficient and reliable. When all the manufacturers are using cvts it's nice having a conventional 6 speed
My parents just picked up a 2017 CX-5 GT with AWD. They're loving it so far. One thing I'm probably going to convince them to do is get the Apple Car Play/Android Auto package from Mazda. It's $200 and all that you need is to make sure the Media System is on the most recent update. The kit comes with more powerful USB ports since those services require it, so that would solve the weak USB charging system
great car indeed. the only thing i hate is that it takes you more often to the gas station not because its bad on gas but because the tank is too small ! gas actually gives u about 28 to 30
I really liked your review and video. What sold me were the multiple rubber seals around the car doors and in the boot that were added on in 2017 to combat wind and road noise, as well as providing security to the cabin. Honda, Nissan, and Toyota don't have all of these additional rubber door seals in their compact crossovers. Also I like how the back storage area is now entirely carpeted, to help quiet the cabin. All of these little things add up. I also highly recommend this to my friends who are looking at the BMW X1 and Audi Q3. I think this is a much better value.
The USB ports in the back do charge (they say 2A) so that's faster than regular USB ports. However, the USB port issue exists throughout all the Mazda range, I had to buy a 12 volt USB fast charger (Nonda) and it works just fine Great review thanks !
Wow, this review was just amazing. You answered a lot of my questions in terms of what it's like to drive. I sat in 1 at a car show and the car spoke to me. The Grand Touring feels and looks so luxurious. I'm going to test drive 1 today in consideration of purchashing one. Thank you for your review.
I love the sound of that 2.5L no matter in which vehicle they put it in. And it matches perfectly that transmission. I really hope a CVT is not their future plan, that would be a huge step in the wrong direction.
I have a 2015 Mazda6. I love it. No complaints at all. This video has all but sold me on the CX-5. I agree about the phone charging, it's not the best. But who's buying a car to charge their phone? I wish I had that kind of money!!! Keep it charged and buy a Mophie case as a back up!
wait until the new kai design (mazda3) come out with those HCCI skyactive-x.. it will be another level (tech and design).. how good is the HCCI? Toyota willing to share/swap their hybrid tech with this HCCI..
Mohd Pazli spcci in the 2019 mazda 3 base 2.0L will produce more power, with torque increased up to 30 percent and fuel efficiency by 20 percent. That is revolutionary change in the gasoline engine. It will match the acceleration of the mx-5.
Love this review. Everything said about the engine, transmission (not a CVT!), and driving experience is so true. The CX-5 is the best SUV in its class for the money. I just purchased a 2018 and love it. I've always had coupes and sedans and was a little hesitant to purchase an SUV since I love to drive but this vehicle made me change my mind. Feels like you are driving a sports car. The interior is the most upscale out of all of the SUV in this class. What he is saying about the USB ports and phone charging doesn't happen in my 2018. Maybe they fixed this?
How do you like the cylinder Deactivation feature starting with the 2018. It Takes it from a 4 cylinder to a 2 cylinder engine running on only 2 of the engines cylinders. It is supposed to save on the fuel. Some owners do not like it and seem to feel it will ultimately affect the engine. Any feedback.
I just leased a CX-5 Grand Touring last Friday. I’ve had 5 Mazda vehicles and almost went for the CX-9 but it was so large. I drove the CX-5 a few different times and thought I might go with a Hyundai Tucson but CX-5 it is. I traded in my 2019 VW Tiguan. I am sure I’ll be happy with this reliable Mazda for several years.
Great video and i enjoy watching it, i was so curious in every detail you said about this car while driving as i am having one of this next month with an AWD in Soul Red Crystal. I can't wait to drive mine.
Their infortainment is trash. It's too small and I prefer a touchscreen display that isn't on the dash and more towards the centre like the tesla model x and s
It's a pity that CX-5 will never get a turbo engine, because if Mazda does that it will hurt CX-9 sales If CX-5 ever gets turbo engine and thicker tires at around $35,000, it will dominate the crossover market
Bought the 2018 two weeks ago, only complaint is its under powered and the Bose system leaves alot to be desired if you want any bass.. Other than that it's beautiful and drives amazing, (EDIT) DO NOT CLEAN THE SCREEN WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN WATER! Also, 300$ to upgrade to Android auto and it's become a fast charger on the USBS.
got a 18 model awd gt luckily the past owner upgraded the apple car play upgrade available to all models 14-19 at mazda dealers which also includes 2.1amp dual usbs upfront lol
Thanks for all the great videos. You have reviewed so many of the cars I have considered. I'm all over the board, I know, but I test drove the Buick Regal GS, Mazda 3, Subaru BRZ, MX-5, Acura TLX and others. It would be great if I could have taken week long test drives in my top three or four. Since you've had that opportunity, which would you rather daily, the CX-5 or the Mazda 3? Or would you continue to just daily your BRZ?
It all depends, if you think a brz will fit your needs it really makes for a fun daily driver. It’s one of the few cars I look forward to driving, that and my GX460 lol
At one point you mention a 12v usb splitter that would enable faster charging while still being connected through the cars USB, got a link for that? Perhaps a name?
Does mazda still makes 2017 models or they stop doing it anymore im just curious i hope I could buy one if im a grown adult because just look at this gorgeous vehicle
What do you think about Head-Up Display or more like projection on windshield? Is it distracting or helpful? I'm thinking about either Mazda's Head-Up Display or Audi/VW/Volvo Virtual Cockpit.
Personally I would take the Mazda 6 over a CX-5, especially if it is in FWD form. The car is lower, handles better, better mileage and better sound deadening. The only real reason why I see you prefer a CX-5 is the available AWD.
Or you know, having the additional cargo capacity/ versatility if you need to load or transport larger objects. More interior space for children in car seats. There are several reasons why a person would get the CX-5 as opposed to the Mazda 6. Also the CX-5 is quieter than the Mazda 6.
How stable is it on the freeways? as in, does it sway easily with light cross winds? Also, does it feel like it could use more power on the highways? I haven't been able to test drive for a long stretch on a highway, but if someone can shed some light or share any experience, I would love to go get one soon :) Thank you much!
Hi, there I just bought mine CX5 2017 GS Trim - Machine Grey Metallic last week, added GPS option, I loved it ,, but car reviewers ,, kept saying the Honda CRV is a better car. is it true,,its a CVT transmission , haven't tried driven one,, which would you prefer ,, I didn't like the style of CRV and the shifter is too big ..thanks
cvt is a horrible kind of automatic transmission. You will hate it. It does not react as soon as you push the pedal, and if you want to hit it hard, it makes a lot of noise.
Topher, the fact that the rear heat seater controls are in the foldable armrest doesn't bother you? I think it is insanely annoying. Whenever you have to fit 3 passengers in the backseat, and you want two of them to have access to heated seats, how are they supposed to turn them on? Mazda isn't the only manufacturer that does this. It is really annoying. Maybe you have a way of giving them some feedback on that.
Can you turn the info screen completely off ? I don't look at screens when I drive, and this one looks very distracting, especially at night. You should at least have the option of folding the screen down. They should have left the screen where it was on the 2016 model. All these car companies seem to have a fetish for annoyingly placed screens.
@@karle0822 I think the ride is just perfect but don't go by me. Go and test drive one. It's such a nice looking car. You'll love the interior that looks so much more expensive than it really costs. And I truly love the way it drives. Here's a hint though. The CX-5 doesn't really upgrade too much from year-to-year. I don't really see a need to buy a 2020 as long as you get a previous year with really really low miles. I have the 2017 and see no reason to upgrade unless you want a turbo.
@@calewis25 I saw one on sale but it’s the 2014 touring. And I can’t go and drive it cause it’s far away, my brother in law and sister are gonna help me to buy a car because where I live there’s not a lot of cars on sale by owner. I was looking for a Corolla but I have two girls and I’m used to drive an suv. I need a reliable car and comfort as well.
@@karle0822 Well, Mazdas are very reliable. However, I can tell you right now that the ride on a newer model is going to be better than on a 2014. And a ride on a newer model is going to be quieter in the cabin. That's one thing they improved on. Good luck!
You weren't in sport mode. You have to be at complete stop to engage sport mode. Notice at 7:30 "Sport" flashes twice above the "D" indicator but doesn't stick. I made the same mistake.
Tech Defender Am considering getting this Mazda SUV and will be my first. I sat in one at the car show room the other day and I like the sitting high with a clear view. I had a test drive and I felt in control.
Glad You like that car. No paddle shifters and front wheel drive. Lots of bhp and no grunt. No thanks. Nice shopping trolley. These wheels are a sad joke and the engine sounds like a lawn mower.
Close to the BMW X3. Here is a chart from Ars that shows the cabin noise level close to the start. Just under 68dB. arstechnica.com/cars/2017/03/mazda-wants-to-move-upmarket-with-the-2017-cx-5/
You are the perfect person for someone who is going to buy a car ❤️❤️
How much is the price of this car??
$36000CAD(30000USD)
Over 3 years later...agreed. Big reason I’m starting a new lease for a Carbon Edition model today. Thanks for the helpful reviews.
ya he's soo perfect ;)
In the market for a used car, I think this is the model I’ve been looking for!
I just bought one. I love it! 😀

Probably one of the few crossovers I'd consider getting
Thank you very much for this video. I’m interested in buying a 2017 with 53,000 miles for 20,000. This video was a huge help!
Too high for that mileage
I love the sound of that 2.5L no matter in which vehicle they put it in. And it matches perfectly that transmission. I really hope a CVT is not their future plan, that would be a huge step in the wrong direction.
Are the mazda have product that comes with cvt??
Also correct my english if i'm wrong please🙏
@@denisapaan7681 As far as I know...no :)
My dream car is either a brand new Mazda 6, or CX 5!
Kenny Gates same! I really like both cars.
Man I got a Mazda 6 as loaner car and I love it . I like how stiff it was and supple no wallow with minimal body roll.
About the gas mileage. I have a 2014 and got between 29 to 32 on the highway, but my model is lighter so I guess that’s why
man your dreams are very average
Y'all are unattractive
I have a 2015 Mazda6. I love it. No complaints at all. This video has all but sold me on the CX-5. I agree about the phone charging, it's not the best. But who's buying a car to charge their phone? I wish I had that kind of money!!! Keep it charged and buy a Mophie case as a back up!
First! Loving the new Mazda style, their cars just keep getting better and better 😊
Biboo i totally agree with, i love all the Kodo designed Mazda with the new SkyActive technology.
wait until the new kai design (mazda3) come out with those HCCI skyactive-x.. it will be another level (tech and design).. how good is the HCCI? Toyota willing to share/swap their hybrid tech with this HCCI..
Mohd Pazli spcci in the 2019 mazda 3 base 2.0L will produce more power, with torque increased up to 30 percent and fuel efficiency by 20 percent. That is revolutionary change in the gasoline engine. It will match the acceleration of the mx-5.

mazda is killing the game. forever love mazda!
Mazda plz put that 2.5t in there!
True
hipposnakeyo the mazda 6 seriously needs it more than any car in their line up
No one really looks for power buying one of those
it doesnt needs turbo. its a family car. no reason to drives it fast like a sport car.
muhanna basalem they are going to put the 2.5 turbo in the new Mazda 6 next year
David James turbo make it safe fuel

How was the Tiguan? Used to be pro VW but siding towards Mazda now.
You drive just like I do! I'm totally getting this ride 😀. Great review!
Rear USB ports in arm rest deliver 2.1A so should charge well. The front ports are DATA ports supply 500mA
Great video and i enjoy watching it, i was so curious in every detail you said about this car while driving as i am having one of this next month with an AWD in Soul Red Crystal. I can't wait to drive mine.
disagreed on the infotainment - mazda's one of the best. the only con is the lack of android/apple integration
Zuriel Briones Although Mazda will be coming out with that pretty soon and it will be an easy upgrade for their older model cars.
Their infortainment is trash. It's too small and I prefer a touchscreen display that isn't on the dash and more towards the centre like the tesla model x and s
BMW idrive will always rule
This video begin when end the Test Drive of Winding Road Magazine. Crazy, no?
vicente molina maureira I feel like they are the same person
Jeremiah Jackson
Yes They are the same
It's a pity that CX-5 will never get a turbo engine, because if Mazda does that it will hurt CX-9 sales
If CX-5 ever gets turbo engine and thicker tires at around $35,000, it will dominate the crossover market
It is getting the turbo and 2 new trims.
You must be pretty surprised when you heard the news then.
It’s a pity Mazda shit on your comment.
Is first time I "see" a car review done at night...
I don't think you would ever achieve any decent fuel efficiency with the way you drive.
If I could do it all over again. I would not own a 2017 rogue. I would have bought this one
joegolden481 ß
You’re better off with the Rogue. Mazda has worse resale, higher maintenance costs and the CX-5 has a weak automatic transmission.
Joes Golden Garage same! Our country called this car qashqai
But Star Wars
DeadofWinter321 wdym Mazdas are known for making the best and reliable transmission

Look at the heads on display on the windscreen!
I think you missed that you can navigate by voice instruction if you’re not fond of the joystick.
Those rear USB ports are 2.1A so they probably charge faster than that front one.
You should do more car review like this at dawn time,it awesome...
What do you think about Head-Up Display or more like projection on windshield? Is it distracting or helpful? I'm thinking about either Mazda's Head-Up Display or Audi/VW/Volvo Virtual Cockpit.
Did you notice any low speed (
The best video ever
Can you please make a video ...
How to program everything ..
Thanks ..!!

Bro it’s a v4 lol smh I have this car and no it’s not a bmw x3, get your money up!
Can you get your hands on one of the new CR-Vs that would be awesome to compare with the CX-5
I loaned a CX5 for a day and loved it. Buyers got to realize how good these cars are to drive! Make an effort to try it before buying anything else.
If compact hatchbacks weren't a thing I'd be driving one of those
Nice videos & agree these cars look and drive great.👍
Great video!
Excellent review. Thanks
3:38 adaptive headlights, left beam... turning left!
much better, couldn't tell much from the silent films.

Kevi C for me crv is better because it is 1.5 turbocharged and got the power like 2.5,it safe fuel too because of the turbo.
Different people,different taste..i like cx5 too because it has better handling than the crv
cvt is a horrible kind of automatic transmission. You will hate it. It does not react as soon as you push the pedal, and if you want to hit it hard, it makes a lot of noise.
How is the ride on the 19 inch wheels?
Sports mode just shifts late and makes more noise, no real gains
I like noise but... my wallet hates paying for gas
It's at the bottom near the gearshift
if you get the Android Auto Apple Car Play upgrade your phone will charge very quickly.
a very good review! :)
Hey! I love these POV's so much! By the way, do you think you can get in a Nissan Rogue?
I would do anything to trade my decision to buy a 2017 rogue for the CX5 ! This cx5 is such a better vehicle hands down
OMG i totally agree the Rouge is literal garbage, nissan is the worst manufacturer.
I started driving with my permit yesterday with this car I love it but the gas pedal has a bit of power to it

How do you actually get your hands on these cars??
can you maybe do a pov review on the nissan rogue?
Imma buy one just go rallying
New Tiguan review pls bro. Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
Is it the 2.5 version or the 2.0?
Do you think this would be a good first car for an 18 year old?
Tech Defender Am considering getting this Mazda SUV and will be my first. I sat in one at the car show room the other day and I like the sitting high with a clear view. I had a test drive and I felt in control.
Tech Defender it's great it has awesome interior. And it's an suv great for young drives that hit curbs all the time and it's safer.
It's more geared for an 81 year old. This car is a warm fart.
Love your videos, do you think you can get the new Chevy Equniox?
Which is better colour for this car..grey or black ?
Grey
I have the machine grey. Looks great. And the Soul Red and White look great also. The eternal blue looks beautiful at night.
We are about to buy the machine grey too, but it was a hard choice. I really love all of the colors.
Beautiful car
I dont get the point of fish eye lens? Change that please
Could this be a “mom” car??
dream car
What is binaural audio mean ?
Tachometer unit is "mph" or "kph"? and is it 2.0 or 2.5 N.A?
kph and 2.5 N/A
Really? Tachometer speed limit only show 160, i thought it might kph unit.
ehm no, mistake, mph of course, kph are in the inner smaller circle
Oh, i got it, kph are in the inner circle, thanks for your introduction.
Great car.. should only have bigger rims and dark red leather
which one would you pick 4runner or cx5?
MrRgarcia112 4 runner is a bit out of range in terms of price/ size. RAV4 is more comparable. 4 runner if you can afford it is a proven beast
If MPG is an issue for you forget the 4runner lol
This is not FWD this is AWD
Love CX-5 but FWD?! The only reason to get a CX-5 or a crossover is for the All Wheel Drive!
not true at all
Glad You like that car. No paddle shifters and front wheel drive. Lots of bhp and no grunt. No thanks. Nice shopping trolley. These wheels are a sad joke and the engine sounds like a lawn mower.
How about the 2017 or 2018 Mazda 3
".......Cool, there's the engine"
Its that a diesel?
CX-5 or the Tucson? :)
I look at the Yuckson and it doesn't come any where close to CX-5
How's the cabin noise level?
lot better than the last generation, i drive one everyday
White Mail Privilege The interior NVH seems perfect to me. Just the right amount of connection to the outside.
Close to the BMW X3. Here is a chart from Ars that shows the cabin noise level close to the start. Just under 68dB.
