It's very rare that a brand can get something right and stick with it. I'm buying a 2019 CX-5 in the UK and it just feels so much better put together and premium and all the other makes I've looked at.
Got my wife’s signature cx5 in rhodium white. All i can say is WOW. The interior materials are outstanding. There is only 4 of us in the house hold and this is perfect everyday drive. Exterior lights are designed well. Engine power is more than enough. This is our first mazda and definitely will not be the last. Wife had the 2014 tiguan and she loved the power but this cx5 is better in performance IMHO. All LED lights, perfectly made and designed leather seat, awesome Bose sound system.
Cons: No panoramic sunroof (love it on my Highlander), No wireless car play, ride is on stiff side ( maybe because of tire pressure and will check accordingly). Thanks for the review. Helped us narrowed down our choices👍
Glad we could help out! Congrats on your new Mazda!
My all time favourite small SUV.
Welldone guys for the videos
One love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
I have a CX-30 Premium Plus Turbo and would love the CX-5 if Mazda added in auto-dimming for the driver-side mirror at least. It helps so much.
What a great medium sized suv. Materials, design and performance all appear premium. I really like this, even more then the cx 50.
It’s considered a compact CUV.
@@tails300 In the UK, this is considered a medium sized SUV. Different market.
I have a 2022 cx5 Akera turbo here in Australia- it’s the same as the signature turbo in the U.S. and absolutely love the way it looks and drives
If you're a fan of Japanese manufacturing this is the one to get as the CX 50 is manufactured in Alabama USA.
I own a 2022 Mazda CX-5 and its a really nice looking car which has its own problems and they annoy you sometimes.
And, interestingly no reviewer highlights them. For example:
1. Doors doesn't close with enough push, they need to be slammed
2. Acceleration is bit jerky may be because its not CVT, so you miss that smooth shift of gears
3. Center arm rest is way too behind that smaller drivers can't rest their hands adequately and also using cup holders uncomfortable while driving because of their positioning. Mazda should re-organize the ergonomics like what they did in CX-50, its much better
4. City mileage is not that really great, at best you get 20/21
5. Rear leg space and cargo space could have been little better comparing to competition, not sure why Mazda is not coming up with new body design and its been so long
6. Menu wheel is ok and it takes time to get used to it, but I am fine with it
7. Lane center/Lane follow is too basic, competition is offering wonderful lane centering and lane follow assist and its very useful especially for long drives
8. Driver seat comfort is ok but not deep enough to have good thigh support
9. You can literally feel the bad roads so suspension is bit stiff
Apart from these annoyances, the things I like most is: overall ride quality, audio system, adaptive lighting system, safety features, quality of interiors, highway mileage, mazda link and service, excellent insulation for quite ride and great value for money.
Thank you for the list! The arm rest take is especially valid - that's always been one of the things I've complained about with the CX-5. As soon as they redesign the ergonomics of the car I'm all in.
This list couldn't be more accurate. Still, I do really enjoy my 2022 Cx-5 premium. The only thing I would add, which is covered in just about every review you come across... go for the turbo.
I’ve always liked the look of this vehicle but wished it was a tad bigger. Looking forward to the CX-70 coming out next year
I'm not a fan of the Cx50 at all from the licorice seats to the wagon like nature, it just looks like a big sedan. However the CX5 is still pure class
I hope they bring out a 'Hybrid' CX 5 soon. Nice review as usual :)
Love my soul red 2019 CX-5 signature. Bought out my lease this year. There were not enough changes to make change. Same with 2023. I'll give it a few years. They need to move those rear usb and heat controls. If the middle rear seat is taken you cannot get to it. I felt the 2022 info screen looked too big but that is just a getting used to issue. The piano black over the wheel wells on some models is not to my liking. Car handles great. Gas mileage could be better.
I really love this All-new 2023 Mazda CX-5.
Brilliant job with your videos as always bro.
I’m looking at them right now
I just purchased a 2018 CX5 with very low mileage. It's a good-looking SUV. It's a little sporty for my aging back but comfortable. So far so good. HOpe I'll get 100,000 more mile.
Nice review keep up the good work Drew and Mason
I personally love this car and no one can change my mind
Great review, thank you🙏
Love my 2021 CX9 Signature!
Do you guys know anything about the excessive oil consumption issue? Has it been solved in this year model?
The luxury brand that is not a luxury
Boi What do you mean?!
He meant it as a compliment. It's a high end car that's also not officially luxury like Benz or BMW.
@@PrituBhai I think he was saying it’s a luxury car without the luxury price
Basically the high end brand that makes you look like a humble person instead of an a-hole
@@ericchocron brand or trim level?
I love mazda but they need to invest in more tech. Love everything else about them though.
I really like the products that Mazda launches on the market the cx-5 is a pretty good option and I really like its exterior design
Great review as usual, guys, thanks again. I recently purchased the CX-5 Signature and agree with all your comments. Very premium feel, and I am glad I went for the turbo. After driving it a month now, overall I am extremely happy. However, if I had to be picky, I would make the following suggestions to enhance the sport appeal: a) the sunroof to be a bit larger b) the steering wheel a touch thicker, and c) more color choices for the Signature interior. Maybe down the road, Mazda.
Definitely agree on the size of the sunroof!👍🏻
I just leased one. But I don’t really use the sunroof as far as sliding it open, I do tilt a lot while I’m inside a store to keep air circulation. I wish there was reflectors for when the doors are open for oncoming traffic to see. I wish the sunroof control was backlit so I can see it at night. And I wish the brakes were grippier like my Volkswagens. And I wish Mazda would add backlight to the stalks on each side of the steering wheel so I can see where the wiper stalk is set and where the lighting stalk is set as I adjust them often. Mazda should add hood struts as well. I’d like Mazda to offer black out on the shiny bits like the logos and grill and Mazda to emblems and strip on the lower window trim.
Can you flip through SiriusXM with the steering wheel controls? My 2021 CX5 GTR you cannot. It’s insane!
@@robertwalker9679 you know I’ve never tried. I’ll let you know. I always use the command knob.
Does it have wireless android auto?
Great job with the review as always, fellas. We'll forgive the lack of coupons ;).
Thanks 😂
Is it better than the cx60 or cx5 I’m from the uk currently have Mazda cx30 far too small for me
Still an attractive CUV. Despite new entrants, the interior also remains tops(although surprisingly top models of the Mitsu Outlander are pretty good too). It also seems that Mazda worked really hard to improve NVH on the CX5. 55dB is pretty good for something in this class.
The space has been an albatross for the CX-5 since it was introduced. But I believe Mazda loves being a niche brand and their customers love it as well. $40K is about where loaded RAV4s, Nissan Rogues, and Honda CRVs are, so they're right in the thick of it.
For me personally, I saw my first CX50 and I gotta be honest: It looks more substantial than the CX5. Would be nice to see a Signature trim of that model.
I drove the CX-50 last week and it’s not as substantial in my opinion once you start feeling around: it’s not as plush and not as quiet. And on lower trims even the top of the doors are hard plastic instead of soft plastic. I was not overly pleased.
@@2004cyrus gotta keep in mind that there isn't a Signature trim of the CX-50...yet. Lower trims on the CX-5 aren't like this Signature.
@@hellkitty1014 oh I know I own one of these and lease one
I drove the Outlander and I agree that they have come a long way and there is lots of soft things inside BUT the infotainment is not good and the CVT sounds terrible when you plant your foot plus the drive is a bit harsh although they are trying to be soft, they missed the mark.
Great review! I just purchased this car so this was very helpful.
Thanks! Glad we could help and congrats on your new CX-5!
how does CX5 Turbo compare with Ford Escape ST 2023?
Fantastic review!😸
Great review as always. Are the seats any more comfortable? I keep hearing that the seats are too firm for road trips.
Thank you! I have also heard the same thing, but in my experience I've never had a problem with them to start with for a 3+ hour road trip. I guess everyone's body is a little different.
Infotainment and lack of panoramic roof is a what makes this CX5 a deal breaker for me.
The dashboard did not pick up any roadside signs ?
I love the 2023 Mazda cx 5 it’s very luxury
I love this trim level, but not interested in dealing with more problematic turbo engines & the gutted MPG it also brings with it.
that dealership marketing on the back is too much. I only want that on the number plate, nothin else.
The CX-5 is nice really nice especially for this class of vehicle. When you look at materials quality and exterior features I would say this is a worthy component to a mid trim XT5 of Xt4 and the buick envision. But yes as said countless times before space space and space is where this really lacks. It’s on an older platform I think and yes it is smaller than majority if not all the competition. And with new CX-50 it’s really making this obsolete especially since they compete in the same class and families are wanting something a little big larger. However. People who don’t need all the room and knowing Mazda with good handling this is pretty nimble since it is smaller than the CX-50. But no one is buying these to handle like sports cars. Though Mazda is really good with that. But hopefully rectify that one complaint in the next generation because the CX-50 definitely has this beat in space and feature content. Overall amazing review as always.
I love the size of the CX5. It would fit perfectly in my single car garage!😁
I lease one of these. And while I agree with everything you said, as a single guy, I don’t need all of the extra space and you mentioned Mazda making it larger on the next generation. That’s where I want to say no, keep this vehicle short and not longer like a VE Tiguan. I like the more nimble handling that toy mentioned. That is just me though and this is created more for families. I would urge people to get the CX-9 which is the next step up for those who don’t know. That’s why there is sub-compact, compact, and full size. I do realize the CR-V is larger and if people need lots more space in this segment then get that. I had the Tiguan and it was too damn long. I just don’t want this to get too large. When the Tiguan grew by 11” the whole world seemed to say it was too bloated and under powered.
But I like the CX-5. This is my 6th Mazda, 3rd brand new one and 2nd CX-5. I just paid off my 2018 Mazda 3.
@@2004cyrus 100% agree!
@@eleanormassaro5195 oh thank you!
All manufacturers seem to enlarge each generation and than introduce a new model LOL. The next gen cx5 will get bigger and then by the time the next cx30 comes out it will be same size as this current cx5 and and then they’ll introduce a cx10😩😩🤣
Hiya Guys!! I noticed that this year you only gave this '23 a 3 instead of 4 on your 'smile meter' versus previous Turbo models. What changed?
Oops that was a mistake! Definitely should be 4 because it's quite fast for this class!
To me CX5 looks more classy than new cx50. I hope Mazda don’t stop CX5.
Does this model include the rear cargo cover? And LED cargo area lighting? And I think the Bose Subwoofer was underneath the floor mats inside of the spare tires
Yes it does have all the above, in Oz it’s called the Akera. I picked mine up on Monday soul crystal red. Lovely vehicle very quiet. I drove it home and it’s been in the garage since. I’ve played around with the infotainment briefly and still learning how to use it. Apple car play is wired on mine.
Having the USB ports in the armrest area is nice if there is only 1 or 2 people on the 2 outer seats. However if there are 3 passengers back there you have access to neither the heated seats or the USB ports due to the 3rd person in the middle.
Damn I didn't even think of this. Now I'm worried about big car seats potentially being an issue. Thanks!!
Great review. This sealed the deal for me.
Thank you! Great choice!
I have been waiting since February 16 2022 and it’s September 23 2022 and still no vehicle, however I do live in Mexico! Viva 😂
What is the Premium 2024 Cx5 Mazda price?
I haven’t driven a CX-9 but I test drove a CX-5 and felt every rut in the road spoke with the salesperson and was essentially told that all Mazda’s drive that harshly.
That’s odd cause my CX 5 is very smooth
I Love the styling and looks of both CX-5 and CX-9 in fact the only issue I had was the ride. Maybe I test drove a CX-5 with some bad shocks.
The dealer might not have lowered the tire pressure. When I bought mine last year, the tire pressure was around 48 psi. With the correct pressure, the car has a great balance of comfort and road feel.
@@kaicameron6401 you didn’t, my sisters 2016 is some what harsh but a good car none the less.
@@tails300 my daughter loves her CX-5.
You don't mention the seat function if they raise up / down jest wondering love it on my Chrysler 300s plus if it has seat cooling motion only heat . Love you guys keep up the great work . P.s. do review on the cx- 50 is it same size as cx- 9 ? News to me wish they bring back the pick-up truck buddy still has his from early 2000s
Yes this has seat ventilation. And the seats can raise up: I own 2 CX-5’s and they are great.
The CX-50 is not as large as the CX-9. It’s just a few inches longer than CX-5.
What the heck are coupons? ( often referred to for some reason)
I really like this car but why in the world the Signature has half brown and half black leather interiors?
Just bought a 23 signature, wow wie, fun to drive, Luxurious ride for lot less than a Lexus.
Wished they kept the fog lights
I have one just like this one .the best car i drive
Fantastic review!
You keep mentioning coupons? Do they still exist? 😮
Thanks! And they do haha
Good job very articulate ! zoom zoom !!
I'm thinking of buy new 23' Mazda CX-5 bro.
Appreciate this review--just bought one.
Congrats on your new Mazda! Glad we could help
IT IS A BEAST ON THE ROAD! ZOOM ZOOM! FOREVER!
What color is this car?
Why does everybody spend so much time on the styling when everyone has a differing opinion. You love the new grill i live in farm land and see this grill as a bug collector and a cleaning nightmare. Same goes for all those tight overlapping front facia pieces. They only have blue or red for colors. I am sick or every shade of silver and mazda has three😒
Seats are on the harsh side, for those 50 and over 😁
VERY much agree. 11 years ago I wanted to buy a Mazda but they had sport seating. So I bought something else. Now I find I'm back looking for a new vehicle and STILL!!! sport seating vs bucket seats which are so much nicer, comfortable and easier to sit in, especially long distances. So despite everything else nice on this SUV, I'm likely not buying it because of that reason. Bucket seats should be a standard.
Probably the only SUV in the market that still uses 6 speed automatic transmission.
No wireless Apple CarPlay. Yet there is a wireless charging pad which is realistically useless because you have to plug in for Apple CarPlay. Not nice to have dangling cords in your car in 2022. My Mazda app needs improvements. When you remote start your car , the car shuts off when you open the door. Should sense the the FOB and continue to run.
Buy a wireless dongle for 60 bucks - wireless carplay.
I clicked this video because of the coupons😔. Maybe next time. Good job by the way!
Thanks! Next time 👍
Still no upgrade for cluster like kia..:(
No fog ligjts? Wtf
Can I get manual transmission gearbox??
They do not offer a manual option
I swear those seats are black 😂. They are a very dark DARK brown. In dark lighting it definitely is black but light needs to hit the seats to looks brown. Why that is idk 🤷♂️.
Except the turbos burn oil and Mazdas done nothing about it!
Apple play should be wireless
Is the screen touch screen now
Much better than the CX-50.
Excuse me no fog lights my 2021 signature has fog lights that 2023 sucks
The warranty .. not convincing enough
$1,275 destination charge! It comes on a truck with 20 other vehicles. Another rip off.
It ships from Japan.
Beautiful 🙄👌!!!
Getting long in the tooth..needs a major redesign exterior. And interior. .
I used to like Mazda CX-5 until the new Dodge Hornet come out
This is the old car now they are now selling the Mazda CX60 in the UK most likely a 2024 in North America
Why on earth it has 8 trim level 😂? Just do 3 and make all of our life easier 🤣
Tell me about it lol
To say the truth here in Florida I swa more of a RAV4 on the roads not Cx5 😂
So if there are 3 passengers in the back then how would you turn on the rear heated seats? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
By pressing the buttons. Voila !! Easy peasy lemon squeezy!!
@@irenafacelli2882 by pressing buttons that cannot be pressed because they're covered right? You're a smart one.
@@slaaaaaapped5374 Oh silly one. You press the buttons when you enter the vehicle. How hard is that? Now head back to class.
@@irenafacelli2882 yeah goodluck with that when 3 people have entered the back.
@@slaaaaaapped5374 3 people never enter the back of a CX-5. lol 😅
The Lexus nx did the cx-5 design better than the cx-5
I don’t see many of these on the road. Also, they are boring to drive. We rented one for a couple days. Good thing is they are built in Japan and probably pretty reliable.
Mazda has always had boring rims.
Sorry mazda but I chose Subaru outback
I like ♥
Interior and infotainment is extremely dated
Actually Mazda Is Better Than Toyota 👉💯
Um no, but thanks for the laugh lol.
🙏🙏👌
BMW headlights 🔥
the front ohh no… the grille too many, looks like a bird's nest 🪺 🪹
will get dirty with dust, will bother when cleaning it after the rain 😮😮😛
is it the sunroof made by the glass ? so if I didn’t open still can see the sky ?
