Mazda CX-5 2.5l Turbo AWD Genting Hill Climb / How Agile Can A SUV Be? / You Asked For This Video!

- After many requests from our viewers. we are happy to finally present this video of the Mazda CX-5 2.5L Turbo AWD on our favorite hill climb road.
Despite having SUV tyres that are meant more for comfort and long-life, the CX-5 performed in a very satisfactory manner. Lots of tyre-screeching, especially when traffic forced us to be off-line, but the CX-5 performed surprisingly well.
This is despite a transmission and engine that is tuned for durability and efficient fuel consumption. We will be doing a fuel consumption run as a follow-up, so please stay tuned.

I own 1 CX 5 2013 but you're driving me nuts with your handling of the machine. Shows your years of rally experience. Great videos and keep em coming. Thank you
hahaha....
Love it when Uncle says "lovely!❤"
I have lots of respect to you KS .... great driving skills and explanation !
Looks like uncle Khong was enjoying the perfomance of this Mazda so much so he spoke less while on his way up than what he did going downhill🤔🤣good video uncle.
At the 14:49 you can see the system fighting to prevent understeer which is quite amazing. Good run as always sir!
😍😍😍 Been waiting for this. Finally see a Mazda u had fun driving. Thank you Thank you. I drive a CX5 2.5L FWD no GVC etc. Always wondered what’s the difference. U make me wanna upgrade to this 👍
Nice 👍👍👍 got 2023 AWD 2.5T, it’s fun to ride (for what we get under the hood), and throttle is just on demand 😁. With a distance drove thru ECE / LPT for (3.5hrs), never feel tiring. Thanks for the video uncle, very informative 👍
love it when you go huhu ～～😙😙😙
hahaha feels like a kid trying his first toy car but matured and courteous to other road users, glad to see you up the mountain again 👍👍👍👍👍👍
stay safe stay strong
Car made the master cry out with pleasure, while the wheel squeal! I have a regular AWD 2020 CX-5 and it's hard to get the tire to squeal; great job!!!!!
Uncle you are one hell of a driver 👏👌
stay healthy n safe uncle.. always awesome..💪🏼💪🏼
Finally. Driven this beast once. The speed jump was significant that it throws me back into the seat but a bit floaty at corner. Quite a sleeper also. I look forward to own this
what does sleeper mean?
@@jadenkhor3523 Looks like a normal car, but can out accelerate 95% of cars.
Excellent test drive😀👍🏻
Impressive drive 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
After driving my brother CX-5, I already love mazda
In Australia the 2.5 litre turbo CX-5 comes with paddle shifters. Good fun on the back roads for an SUV.
Great driving.
Fuyoh! Mr. Khong... super fast leh... Good driving lah
Terbaik uncle 👏
Uncle really floors it, nearly every sharp corner you can hear the tyre squeaky sound.
I notice people judge ny tyre screeching sound. Should import this sound into every video, hahaha. Just joking.
@@YSKhongDriving
No joke. Do it.
Flawless uncle!
Great review uncle!! I miss driving up NSHW n to Genting from Singapore!!
Sure, enjoy it theough our channel. And next time when it is okay to drive up, come and join us for breakfast.
@@YSKhongDriving absolutely would love to do that!! Stay safe n i look forward to your next video!!
1 word. Respect.
You are so cool la Uncle !! 😎
Driving one now. So click like first before watch video!!
Saludos de CD de Mexico
Wow I can’t wait to have AwD 😊
I've got the chance to drive the CX5 not long ago (Although it was the base spec 2.0 non turbo and FWD). Still, the car handles so well, you kinda forget that you're in a SUV.
we had one, CX-5 2.5t AWD since 2021, its awesome! very powerful SUV in its class… tested the X70 before purchase this CX-5, the X70 Just nowhere near this CX-5 2.5t
Uncle, you are smiling at the end of the drive... must be a very enjoyable car ni.. OK.. I'll place this car as an option for my next SUV..
terbaik uncle
Wow, this uncle drives very fast la
I own the 2.2D AWD and the power is almost equal to the 2.5 AWD. Fuel consumption is on the high side, even for a diesel engine. You get slightly better consumption on highways but then with all that power, you wouldn't want to drive at the speed limit. The autonomous braking works like a gem and has saved me from backing into another vehicle in tight parking spots as well as stop-go traffic numerous times.
Hows the refinement between the 2 models?
Awesome
Can you do a kancil hill climb once? that would be amazing
Please.. The living legend 👏
😂😂😂
Nice driving uncle. Tell them to send the turbo models to Europe! 😁
I really like this car. Very stable n also powerful.
Excellent drive as always, Uncle! Would have been perfect if it was a manual!
True, but nobody will buy except you and me, and possibly a dog named Boo, hahaha
@@YSKhongDriving and me too! I prefer manual trans too.Now i hv the 2.0 lt CX5, i had to learn to drive auto.
new subscriber from the philippines. very good driving uncle. i have the new color zircun sand
Hi, and congrats.
Amazing.what is speed range sir.
Mantap
For those who have older models of CX-5, you can get sport mode by pedal to the metal x2 and it will go into sport mode.
Not too sure about that.
Mr Khong, my hat off to you sir, great review on the performance aspect of this car, for me i was just curious about high speed stability and cornering ability and you have delivered the best video on these aspects, of course I won't be driving it that hard but it doesn't drive like regular Suvs and fits into a "performance suv" classification which is hard to find at this price point unless you have $$$ for European 🇪🇺 cars.
Thanks again !!
Thanks for supporting our channel.
Much faster than average sedan on genting climb 😱😱
Yes, it was under 5 minutes 30 seconds.
Mazda's engineering Wow..Wow
@@YSKhongDriving do you want to try my proton suprima s 😈😈😈
@@azfarazah7662 - I also have one, somewhere.
6:02 should be brake the inner wheel, which send more torque to outer wheel, same as other torque vectoring that base on brake. This helps the car to rotate along its yaw axis.
True, but the GVC plus works a little bit differently.
A.. wonderful. You're doing it only when shifting down. When you break and at the same time push the gas pedal how hard are you trying to push it? What is the goal? Can this be practiced at the slow driving too?
No idea what you mean. It's flat on the pedal.
any chance of getting a myvi auto 2000-2016 up and down genting?
i know it's not much but it's a car that everyone loves and knows well 😁
Don't have a car, and if there was, it may not be in good condition.
Sir, appreciate if you do review for new Honda City(V) spec
Have to wait till after mco, and try to find a car.
Cx5 2.5T and Tiguan 2.0 R Line which one better?
I'd love to see your view on the new CX-50, I'm so confused between my choices. But if a cx-50 handles like this, I'm sold! Please????
Havent seen it yet. Should be just as great.
Uncle YS, how's the excitement level for this car?
Tempting to get this car for family + own daily use
Would be an excellent choice.
May I know putting the ultra racing bar help to improve the stability of the car maneuvers?
We don't really know.
Uncle come to sabah try kimanis hill more challenging than genting.
Need a sponsor.
Great drive, uncle YS. Question, in terms of handling and performance, how would you rate this compared with the Tiguan 2.0 R-line, which you also drove up Genting not too long ago. Appreciate your comments.
Both have AWD, very similar handling.
Thanks for your feedback.
Good day sir. How did the car take the corners? I learnt that the suspension is the same throughout the range, which is softer & tires are premium touring. Thanks.
You can see from the video how it took the corners
I want one..............
Hi Uncle YS. Wonderful driving as usual. Just want ask your opinion: between this Mazda 2.5 turbo and Toyota RAV4, which one give you higher smile ratio when you drove them? Thanks. Stay safe and awesome.
This one has AWD, and is turbo charged, so is more powerful, and has more grip.
When i watched and compare both u drove tiguan allspace turbo and this cx5, i saw that u were more relax in tiguan..is it so..?
The Tiguan 2.0 has a lot more torque.
Uncle, any chance to test the previous Forester XT on the Genting mountain climb. Hope you can get a owner to lend you his car.
Too bad I am from Singapore and not possible.
Mr. Khong great driving skills you have. How does this compared to the VW tiguan 2.0 4motion R-Line? Which is faster and better in handling?
When it comes to SUV, they are all heavy and will not handle as well as a car. Both these SUVs are very close to each other in power amd handling, so it comes down to preferences.
@@YSKhongDriving VW Tiguan R-Line seem to have lesser torque compared to CX-5 turbo but it has additional gear shift. Confuse and tough choice.
Hi Mr. Khong, which one rides better and have more fun. This CX5 turbo or CX 30.
The CX30 is more engaging, as it is lighter and smaller. The CX5 has more space. Remembering of course that these are family vehicles. If you want more engaging drive, go for the Mazda3 or 6.
Uncle.. how's this cx5 2.5l compares to tiguan allspace R-line 2.0 in terms of handling & driving pleasure. Really having a split decision now.. help please 😁
Go where your heart tells you.
Perhh driving skill
Hi Uncle Khong, would like to have your opinion here. What are the best tires for the CX-5 you are driving right now?
I have not tried any, but a guideline for tyres is always buy the most expensive one you can afford. For SUC usage, just make sure the load bearing capabilities are kept in mind.
@@YSKhongDriving Understand. Thank you ☺️
AWD. A worthy SUV.
Uncle please do with Tiguan R Line next 👍
I think we already have the video up.
@@YSKhongDriving Uncle has made me searching the videos in your youtube channel. Glad you have done it. I will click on the notifications bell so that I will not miss your video again!
YS - ignoring the power differences, which one do you think is a better overall SUV - CX5 or the new Forester 2.0?
It all depends on what your needs are.
Woww.. Tq for the review. We hv same thoughts, all suv should hv AWD for safety bcoz of its higher CoG.
i never ever like an SUV without an AWD. just my own peference.
Performance wise, which one is better compare with all new VW tiguan R Line?
This one would have a bit more power. Noth are great cars.
Hi Uncle..thanks for your video. I hv question.. Which suv is better.. Xc40, cx2.5 turbo or tiguan R line?
uncle.. pls answer😂
@@Emilzkl I bought 3 of them already while waiting for uncle to reply.
hahahaha
so which 1 is better?
Ahh maiiii.. how do you keep hitting the apex perfectly T-T
Training.
uncle you should do vellfire genting run next.
Yes I agree ☝️
Van roti tu tergolek masuk gaung bro
Might as well drive funeral car up genting
Hahaha.
Doo iit!
Hi uncle, Mazda CX-5 2.5l Turbo AWD vs VW Tiguan Allspace 2.0l 4Motion. I am considering either 1. What is your opinion?
Both vehicles are great, and each has its plus points. Toss a coin, but you won't go wrong with either.
We sell Mazda on our channel, so if you want a Mazda, pm me.
Would you say this handles better than the forester?
I could hear the tires squealing while driving through the sharp corners which wasn’t the case with the forester!
Please advise
This 2.5 turbo is a lot more powerful, so the CX5 was going a lot faster.
Very stable xia
Uncle Kong. When are you going test drive New honda city V?? The most under review car now
No car available to me, sorry.
Friend, tell me please what will be faster up to 100 kilometers, harrier turbo 4 wd 2018 or Mazda cx 5 turbo 4 wd 2018.
The CX5 will be faster
Thank you for making this vid. Been waiting for it. Wanting to know how well it drives. Acceleration uphill. Road holding thru the bends.
Probably with better tyres it can perform more? Can Michelin PS4 or PS4S be had in its size?
Thanks YS! 👌👌👍👍
With the AWD in place, the SUV performs well!
Any CX5 owner got complain from family members (eg: pregnant wife or elders) saying that the CX5 suspension is quite hard and bouncy ?
Is there any idea to help this situation ?
Then go buy a Mazda 6. A suv suspension is generally stiffer than a car, except for the A45 versus GLA45
hi sir.. what do u think about 2.5 without turbo? its enough power? ty 😊
Yes, there is enough if you are not power hungry like me.
@@YSKhongDrivingoh i see.. thank sir 😊
How was this compared to The latest Subaru XV?
This one has more power, dear.
How is it compare to the VW Tiguan R line?
Please warch both the videos.
How's the cabin noise insulation uncle? Good , average or bad ? Thx
Quite good. They have improved it a lot.
How would this CX-5 2.5T feel if compared with X70? Which is a better choice?
This one definitely has more power and is awd.
First, r u judging from yr wallet or not...?
@@djtan3313 nope, the overall car.
@@dineshk6282
Then, this cx5 is ahead. Tho by not a lot...
Hi sir I'm a new subscriber here, an I love to see and inspired of how you drive well, and the master of 5 RALLY CHAMPION. can you do test drive the new Toyota Fortuner legender 2.8L 4X4 version. Thanks
Soon, I hope.
@@YSKhongDriving wow I see your new video review of Toyota Fortuner legender. Hoping to see you driving the Toyota Fortuner. Your favorite mountain road, Thanks sir. #1 fan here Philippines.
How is this mazda cx5 2.5 turbo compared to volvo xc40?
This is a much larger vehicle.
Hello sir, which one do you prefer, this cx5 or rav4?
This has more power and awd.
@@YSKhongDriving Looks better too! Am I right?
idk if uncle ys will read this but uncle....can you review the 2.2diesel variant?
felt sad they only set the diesel with FWD now instead of AWD
Uncle Ys Khong Which one drives better GLC 250 or this cx5 ? ?haha
Have not driven the GLC, but have driven the CX5. I know the CX5 is great.
How was the brake feel for that cx5?
No problems. Good brakes
That's a good question ya..
Uncle, this car faster than bmw x3 or glc 250?
We have not tested X3 or GLC, but I would think so. Most of these vehicles are electronically locked at 250 anyway.
uncle, when compare this with the bmw x3 xdrive3.0, wihich one is better and nicer to drive? in terms of performance, comfort and maintenance?
The X3 is more luxurious and also costs more.
@@YSKhongDriving tq uncle
Did the cx5 turbo out perform the Mazda 3 on genting run?
Of course the turbo is a lot quicker.
cool uncle. 😎 can I ride with you? 😜
We do take our fans, on a very select basis.
Why not a B segment all wheel drive suv?
Cost and demand. There is the Mini Countryman.
Cx5 2.5turbo or crv 1.5turbo which one faster? And which one better
2.5 turbo makes more power. Both have AWD options. One has CVT, the other has a 6AT. Take your pick.
nicela uncle
I thought you already drove this model in previous video.
That was the 2.5 FWD. No turbo, no AWD
This one is silver ok la I like metallic paint.
I like this car, now driving subaru turbo suv with higher hp and more agile, mazda may have better reliability...
