- The CX-5 receives a special treatment with the addition of the Carbon Edition. On the outside Mazda uses their Polymetal Grey to cover the sheetmetal along with black touches including wheels, and dark chrome. On the inside you will find a dark read interior along with an updated infotainment system. Under the hood you will find the 2.5L inline-4 that produces 187HP & is mated to a traditional 6-speed automatic. Why is the NEW 2021 Mazda CX-5 Carbon Edition a MUST have compact SUV?

This guy talks like a car salesman. The passion, the gestures. the random whispers making it seem like it he’s letting me in on a secret deal. Great content man.
I mean... I'm pretty sure he is lol. At least originally, how do you think he got access to all the cars initially when he was small time? They don't give press cars to small time.
Zonk!
He has the ‘gift of gab’ I could listen to him talk for hours 😬
Everytime I see a CX-5 I ask myself "Why don't I already own one?" They look good, they feel good, the price is good!
I know how you feel!
The steering feels a little stiff, but it could be cause its a new car
Very good looking suv a lot of people complement it. My mom got one and it’s a perfect daily.
24 mpg
I absolutely love mine
A friend of mine just today wanted a compact SUV. We ended up going Mazda. Competition just cannot compare.
That is so very true Robby!
@@RaitisRides and with what they have in store over the next couple years it’s going to be a dog fight to see if Honda, Toyota, Nissan, etc.. can keep up.
Great choice.
Rav4 Hybrid? I mean, come on.
@@ThirdBrainLives it’s one, giant box.
Got ours about a month ago. I thought the no touch screen would be a big deal, but I can navigate everything with voice control anyway. Also my wife typically uses the screen in the passenger seat more than I do driving, so she can use the knob without reaching over and distracting me. Love the car so far, zero complaints.
Congrats! Thanks for sharing that wonderful input!
She likes to play with your knob while you drive ei?
I personally don’t care for touchscreens in cars. FINGERPRINTS/SMUDGES everywhere when the sun shines on it...constantly having to wipe if you want it looking fresh and sleek.
how much u paid IN total
@@noahark4670 $35172 all in (Canadian dollars)
I've got the CX-5 2019 edition and the driving experience is superb. It handles corners very well without pushing your body towards the side as the car calibrates the balance automatically with the centrifugal force.
Interior finishing is probably the best for the price point that you have to pay for a similar category of the competition.
And what's more, the quietness of the car when it's travelling at high speed on a relatively flat highway.
The safety features are also numero uno as the car automatically did a slight brake for me on time when it sense that I was in danger of a near collision in front of a irresponsible rider.
Moving from a Mazda 3 to a CX-5 driving experience brings me to an excitement level that makes me feel safe and comfortable for both me and my passengers.
Great job Mazda team!
Very good comment 👌
wow
Long live Mazda for offering automatic transmissions and not that awful unreliable CVT garbage.
I agree with you!
Yeah, my heart was with the Mazda but my budget was Honda crv, I wish I had the Mazda. Hate the cvt engine.
@@dogcrazy25 The CRV is not that cheap compared to the CX-5. You should just get the CX-5 rather than regretting for not getting one when you see one on the road. Not worth it. The base trim is really not that expensive.
@@whatsindansgarage2542 and what’s cool is the base trim is very well equipped too.... has all the safety gadgetry and handles just like the Signature trim.
Totally agree! Their autos are great! Over 10ish mph they completely lock and are almost like a DCT or stick with direct drive, then below 10 mph the converter unlocks for better slow speed on/off transitions. Better driveability down low, better performance, mpgs and feel above that; Mazda is a cool company!
What's really compelling about Mazda designs, especially the CX-5, is the timelessness. These designs look great today, and they will still look great 20 years from now. Most of the other manufacturers' designs will look cheesy a few years from now. They add too many lines and too much "eye junk" that really serves no design purpose except to look "new". The problem is all that "eye junk" gets old quick.
I’m a brand new owner of a Mazda vehicle, a low mileage 2021 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring. It’s not the awd and turbo version but it is pretty loaded. I’m very happy with my purchase. It’s not as fast as my current car but it is a damn smooth drive. I can’t believe it has heated front and rear seats, ventilated front seats, heated steering wheel, Bose sound system, HUD, rear ac vents / usb connectivity, standard sunroof and adaptive headlights. I’m just not a fan of how close the cup holders are to the rotary dial for the infotainment but it’s a petty thing. 100/10.
I have one as well just bought it. Pretty nice but the steering column is the cheapest thin plastic made. Weird because it takes away from the rest of the interior.
I bought my 2021 mazda cx5 carbon edition in Feb! I love my car!! Red interior is gorgeous!!
If there was a "Speed" or performance Spec then definitely an 8 or 10 speed. This vehicle has a lot of low-end torque and feels faster than it is. I feel like Mazda really did a great job with this. That interior quality is truly amazing.
My brother just got a 2020 cx-5 grand touring. Excellent improvement from his 2015. I’d highly recommend this 2017 (and newer) generation to anyone in the market for a small crossover.
Congrats on 400k - well deserved!
That is awesome Jake. Please tell him I said congrats. Thank you for the great support!
@@RaitisRides will do! Thanks
Just bought a 2021 CX 5 Grand Touring Reserve Turbo. I love it!
I want this model!
I know you won’t see this Joe, but congrats on 400k!!! I predict 1mil by the end of 2021
I totally see this brother! I am really grateful for your support!
Love my Mazda CX5. Has everything I could need or want in a compact vehicle. Not too big, not too small, fits just right.
Was at the Mazda dealership today, fell in love all over again. Those red seats look amazing, along with that color exterior, impressive. I'm going with the coal/dark grey and red interior. I couldn't even focus on what he (salesman)was saying because I was in awe of that car.
I am so excited for you!
I don’t mind if this exterior is maintained for the next 5 years. the cx-5 is really good looking.
I was thinking of getting a CRV but after watching this video, I’ve been blown away🤩
I know how you feel!
I’m in the same boat was going this week to look at the crv but now I’m looking at this beauty !
I was thinking about the CRV, also RAV4. I got the Mazda carbon edition, the competition can’t compete at Mazda’s price point!
The extra detail car review shows how much homework has gone in. I own a CX5 and looking at your some old CX5 review video actually inspired me to make that purchase. Indeed Mazda is gradually a luxury brand at the cost of Honda's and Toyota's and not Accura and Lexus.
That really means so much! Congrats on the CX-5!
"You can stick your finger in there and shock yourself " 😂
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Was hoping he would shock himself and reset all these dumb candy and jug of lemonade comments
I love his reviews lmao
Just got mine today! Carbon edition with the red leather.. This video helped me decide! Thanks, Joe!
How do you like it so far?
Just got myself one two days ago. Been driving a 2005 Chevy cobalt since 2012. This is such a great upgrade. Saw it and knew instantly it was the vehicle for me.
YES! Finally! A REAL review of this one!
Thanks for letting me bring it to you Eric!
Joe's videos are very therapeutic!
I am so glad that i can sooth you!
“Easily 8 Milky Ways”/“you could put a book back here. Maybe the history of the color red.” Great showcase and this guy is hilarious
Just bought a CX-5 Carbon Edition on Friday. The highlight of my day is my drive to and from work. Even decide not to trade in my 2013 Mazda 3 since after 95,000 miles we've never had any problems with it.
I currently own a 2019 Mazda CX-5 Signature. Like all Mazdas, it is a great car. However, while the new "Carbon Edition" CX-5 looks great, nothing beats the Soul Red Crystal Metallic paint for overall looks. That paint color is just amazing, and I am glad I got it on my CX-5. Also, when comparing the normally aspirated 2.5 liter engine to the turbocharged engine, there is no comparison. The turbocharged engine is night and day better. Drive them both, and compare for yourself, you will experience exactly what I am talking about. The 6 speed transmission also works perfectly when mated to the 2.5 liter engine, and not using a CVT is a great choice on Mazda's part. There is also no need for a 10 speed transmission that is constantly hunting for the right gear. I do like the sound of the Bose stereo, but it is nothing amazing when compared to good aftermarket stereo equipment. I also don't care about the size of the infotainment system screen. I guess that is something popular with younger car buyers. I buy a car to drive, not stare at a screen all day. As long as Android Auto (Google Maps) works, and I can get Sirius XM Radio, I am good to go. The interior of the Mazda CX-5 Signature looks and feels like you are in a much higher class of vehicle. Think BMW, Mercedes or Acura. I would buy another CX-5 again in a heartbeat. Being a long-time Mazda fan, I am a bit biased here, but I also call things as I see them. I have previously owned a 2005 Mazda 3, and a 2014 Mazda 6, which were both great cars. My younger brother also owned an RX-7 back in the day. He drove the wheels off that thing, and it just kept on running. I will give Props to Mazda, and their great cars, any day of the week. Note that this is coming from someone that is also a long-time Chevy (Camaro) fan. I have owned plenty of both vehicle brands and models over the years. Gotta love both car types, but for different reasons. However, they are both really fun to drive.
Oooh my favorite daily commuter just got better.
I picked up two 2019's after using one for a quick road trip to deliver junk to my sister from Texas to Virgina.
I found this car to handle more than great. It has such small headlight housings but they work so well! The shape of the vehicle is so great that even maintaining 90mph for an extended amount of time, didn't leave me with much interior road or wind noise... Best part I managed 31.5mpg at that speed.
Space wise...I took my poodle and his cage with me along with all much junk, very spacious.
Thanks Joe didn't know this was coming out now I'm probably returning the two that my wife and I have and leaving the lot with a pair of those. Inexpensive and can't be beat. Also keeps me out of trouble when compared to all of our other high horsepower vehicles...Yeah I've got a stack of warnings for speed. Lol
The perfect CX-5:
Turbo, Mazda's red paint, (maybbbbe red leather) fwd, with a panoramic sunroof 😱
I like the way that you think.
Got my carbon 8 days ago only because I watched your video and fell in love with it!!! Seriously the best car ever!!!👌🏻💙
Turbo or non turbo?
"Nobody likes scratched nuts" (true story)
😂🤣
Thanks for letting me share some laughs with you.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I cracked on that too
I like the guys zingers and he does a great job with his reviews!
😂
Just got This car,not turbo, kind of slow but is for wife. So far she like it.
A hood prop rod never needs replacing!! Mazda logic at its pinnacle.
So very true!
That's a really good point, unlike hood struts.
@@wbwayne8887 This is true!
Living in my 23 yr. Old Lexus. All I do is drive the Highways all over America and help motorist whose cars are broke down on the side of the Interstate, or flat tires, etc. I give some of them who need it a ride into the closest town. I never ask for anything from them. Been doing this for 3 yrs. I can't sit still! I can't stay put anywhere. I am a Veteran, who admittedly has some issues. If you are rich and want to supply me one of these Mazda Cx5 SUV. I could really use it. My Lexus is getting tired. And I could put more tools in it also. Anyway, I will continue to help stranded and broke down motorists, until my 23 year old Lexus finally dies. It makes me feel better about myself helping other people. Mazda is making a very stylish and reliable Vehichles these days. Even the head honcho of Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan admitted that the Quality of Toyota, and Lexus has gone down. And that they are working with Mazda to bring their quality back up to Toyota's standards. Stay safe everybody.
Joe you are the best auto reviewer around and make me laugh out loud with the “stick your finger in the 12 V socket” comment.
Thanks Jim! I firmly believe you have to laugh a little!
I’ve watched this one far too many times and it’s fun to watch every time haha you’ve definitely swayed us to go see it in person and now we just wait for delivery of exact one but that black cherry interior is even better in person!! Thanks so much to you and Lori for this review
Update I got it in white and I love it
I love my new white sexy Mazda CX-5. It looks so nice and it drives so smooth. Where they really shine is on the ice and snow. The AWD handles so good. I don't know how they do it. Staying with Mazda!
Great review. Last week I traded in a 4 year old BMW X3 for this car. Fit, finish, feel are so close to the BMW but $15,000 less.
Congrats Scott! I totally believe it!
Carbon monoxide haha you won’t get these funny moments on many other car channels. I’m telling you 👍🏻😂
Thanks David! You are the best!
@@RaitisRides Hey Joe, do you ever review Volvo? What's your take on them?
@@johndestefano8470 Volvo is the best automaker. Next is Porsche.
Today I bought the carbon edition, this superb suv blows away the competition. Mazda, please continue to have those decent sized engines more than 2 litres,
"You can touch it, it just won't do anything" You've met my ex wife??
LMAO! The best comment of the day!
Lmao hence she is your ex lol
Well...she may not do anything for you maybe...

Unfortunately, your ex wife is no my wife and she is not responding still.
Man that color is nice Mazda did a great job, also great review as always!
Thanks for saying that Brandon!
Nice thing about Mazda is the traditional transmission though I’d like to see them move to an 8 speed. Smart of them to stay away from CVT’s
Most underated import SUV.
Mazda ZX5. Top fuel economy in class for design touch. Commercial should stress and let camera do the
miracles nevras.
Just bought the cx5 non turbo yesterday. First impression is great. Cockpit (drivers side) is a little tight for me (6'2", 225lbs) but it's my wife's vehicle and she is 5'1 so all good. The non-tubo has decent acceleration. The lane keep assist does little to nothing for you but other than that so far so good... after 1 day lol
My sister bought a CX-5 in red and loves it. Not to mention I think Mazda does red better than the competition.
Man I’m just loving the refreshed looks and tech on the inside and the blacked out chrome on the outside, and they let you option between na and turbo. Bravo Mazda designer team! Front end kinda reminds me of an audi product.
I am so glad that you are liking this one.
Thanks for the vidoe. Just got the Carbon ed, Turbo AWD and love every second of driving it. Most underrated car these days
If the CX-5 had more storage, rear legroom, a bigger gas tank, and a more aggressive rear end, it would literally be perfect
Right, the size, just if it was a little bigger, it’s literally the smallest of all the competition which is a con
Agree with all of that. Yet, it's still one of the top benchmarks for the class. I think the one that might be good for you would be the CX-8. Cheers.
And a better transmission with more gears for better acceleration and MPG
He said the leg room was great. 🤷♂️
@@kermit1 Be happy it's not a CVT.
Am I the only one who loves that it's NOT touch screen?? No fingerprints, and I feel like in my current vehicle it's much more distracting to touch the screen rather than using the dial!
That new 10” screen looks amazing in the CX-5 🙌🏻
AGREED!
Was doing my research while looking at one this same color and year. You totally helped sell me on it. Came back to say thanks!!
Like mazda is the best of the best japanese automaker for me
I am so glad that you are liking this one.
We own a 2020 cx5 in the dark blue. Rides so smooth. No cvt lag. Great engine and transmission. No start stop. Mazda did it right. No wonder it’s in the top 3 small suvs for 2021. Only negative is the no touch screen.
What up Joe? MAZDA!!! My favorite vehicle from Mazda of all time!!!
I am so glad that I can bring it to you!
@@RaitisRides ;D
Just got mine and I'm so in loved with everything
How does it ride, is it smooth, how is the acceleration, was it expensive, why did you decided going for a mazda insted of the common toyota or honda?
"Stick your finger in there and shock yourself" hahaha!

I drove both the CX 5 non turbo and turbo (not Carbon). The turbo interior was quieter. Alas, my pet peeve is that all these competitor SUV/CUV designers seem to not consider visibility below the hood line, even when I raised the seat to the max, there was a disconcerting blind spot. I sat in both an Acura RDX and Volvo XC 40, which were worse: if you draw a straight line from your eyes over the hood to the ground, there's ~ a 6ft+ blind spot, which means you could run over road debris (most notable on highways at speed) that could damage the undercarriage. I also drove the Mazda 6 Carbon. I was concerned that the 'red' interior was bright red, when it's really more, as you said "Dark Cherry Red", which looks great, and I appreciate the clean/uncluttered dash and old school analog gauges. I loved the 6s better handling, but the mouth of the trunk is small. That said, I can drop the rear seat and put my laundry basket in the from the side. The Carbon interior and dash looks much richer than the non Carbon. Im torn between the CX 5 turbo Carbon or 6 Carbon turbo
I think the 6 speed is smart because of reliability. The only problem is the gas mileage is affected.
Thanks for sharing that great input!
I just bought a 2021 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring. After watching this video, I just KNEW I wanted the Carbon Edition but when I saw it in person, I felt the exterior color looked a little weird (not what I expected). In my opinion, the color looks best with an overcast but in the sun it looks weird. Overall, I’m in love with my car. I like that it’s not touchscreen because it keeps things nice and clean without ugly fingerprints. One thing I don’t like is the inside door panels get weird white smudges when you touch it. Very odd.
Great review! That shade of red is amazing. I see mazda is taking their 'no touch screen' tought to the max. Which is good to see a brand living up to their words. Even though my older mazda touch screen only works on 'P' & 'N', I've gotten so acustom to the dial button that I forgot about it !
Can’t wait to have this baby next year 😍😍😍
Joe I’m about to board the plane and I just screen recorded some of your videos to watch LOL
Awesome my friend! Have a safe flight!
@@RaitisRides will do! Goin back home to Chicago!
I have a 2019 GT. Great driving vehicle, as the video states, and fun to drive. Wasn't sure about my purchase initially but after a year, no regrets, love my Mazda and enjoy driving it on a daily basis. Highly recommend this vehicle!
In Canada Mazda calls this the "Kuro" (black in Japanese) edition.
Thanks for sharing that great info Jose.
I’ve always loved Mazda since my first car, Mazda mx3, it’s still running and it’s got almost 400,000 miles, and I got to say, being young and dumb I didn’t treat it right so I’m surprised it’s still running. My second Mazda, Mazda 3, had about 260,000 miles before I traded it in for my Mazda 6. Now I’m thinking of trading that in for the cx5 just so I have more room. I will forever buy Mazda’s. They literally run forever.
Thanks for sharing that great info from your experience!
I always look forward to your reviews.
Awesome SUV.
Your number One fan from Nigeria🇳🇬
Thanks you much for being so awesome and supportive!
I have a 2017 Mazda CX-5 and it’s the best car I have ever owned. 78k miles on it with no issues. Not a fan of those new red seats. They look hideous. Appreciate the video! Doesn’t look like any major changes from my car year model other than seat color
Thanks for sharing that great input Erika!
Been waiting for this review from YOU Joe!😍
I hope it was worth the wait!
I totally like this better than the CRV or the RAV4, especially the interior but it’s so dang dark - like a cave! I wish you could get lighter interior materials. Also the cup holder positions guarantee that if they are actually used (with taller bottles/cans) you will be blocking your hand’s access to the infotainment controller.
Man you are a delight 😉 love the humor , jokes it’s fun watching you do reviews
I really appreciate that so very much!
Thanks for the review Joe! Happy holidays!
You are so very welcome Ford! Same to you and yours!
The colors blend so well together.
I totally agree with you!
@@RaitisRides Mazda did a fantastic job with it.
I'm a proud owner of this model since 2018 and once again in 2021. Love iT!
Everything is carbon edition now with Mazda hmmmm.....but hey the color is nice why not make a consistent theme lol!
It's a new trim across the board for 2021.
The red leather seats and red stitching takes it to the next level. Could be a luxury car.
I totally agree with you on that one.
It is best looking mid size SUV. It is nice outside and practical inside. Thanks for review.

PERFECT! LOL
Two weeks of owning the carbon edition cx5 and my biggest complaint is the brightness of the headlights. I can barely tell the difference between if my lights are on or off during night drives. It's especially difficult to see in the rain at night.
Just replace them with LED bulbs from Amazon it's like $40
@@Striker50_ How?
They already come with led bulbs
Great video! I purchased the 2021 Mazda CX-5 Carbon Edition yesterday and I LOVE it!!! It drives great and is full of power. The body style dusts the competition hands down, especially with the red interior.
Congrats on 400k Joe! Too the moon brother 😎
Thanks Gabe! You are tha man!
Had a Mazda rental on vaca and loved it. I can say that the non-touchscreen was not an issue. The knob controller is very fast and after using a while is easy, actually think I like it better keeps the screen clean. This car is going to the top of my list for next one to buy
One, among many reasons I bought the CX-5, is the non CVT transmission!
Smart man Bernie!
Getting rid of my 2019 HR-V ASAP because I cannot stand the CVT. This CX-5 is the one that is always on my mind
i just bought a 2017 CX-5 and omg i love it cant wait to pay it off and trade in for a new one in the future
Love the subtle humor in these videos :)
Thanks for letting me share the laughs and the cars with you!
Girlfriend needed a brand new car. We were set on a compact SUV. Dollar for dollar the Mazda felt way more high end and tightly put together. The lane assist and automatic cruise control is very very impressive, quiet cabin with great sound isolation, 31-33mpg highway, and winter ready with AWD. $30k you can’t beat this car. Cross shopped the compass, Rav 4, Rogue and escape. Mazda felt like the Bmw of the litter.
Like the paint color!
I am so glad!
I had a fully loaded manual 2013 Mazda 3 as a second car, and sadly was hit by a drunk driver the night before thanksgiving and it was totaled. The idea of going back to driving a subaru crosstrek everyday made me want to cry, I hated the underpowered CVT. I traded it for the 2021 CX-5 carbon edition and the turbo is so responsive and I don't miss driving a manual at all.

Awesome video buddy. Perfect to the point, precise and interesting.
And for the car, I love how Mazda has maintained a simple yet stylish look for their cars.
That really means so much Anil! Thanks for being so supportive!
That is decent for the price and looks premium inside with a sporty exterior. The red seats are growing on me. I'm wanting to trade my Acura MDX however I need to pay it down or just sell it because the payment isn't worth it and COVID has dropped the equity several thousand. Great video Joe, good job Lori :-) until the next ride...
That sounds like a tough dilemma that you are in. The MDX is a great SUV though.
How about now, low supply has raised equity several thousand for people looking to trade. Don't know about Acuras though
I have a 2016.5 GT trim in AWD. I would absolutely want an 8 speed transmission for better fuel economy. Aside from that, I love the CX-5
