I test drove the Jaguar F Pace before this car and I kid you not, the Mazda experience was more pleasant.» Read More
The car rides well, not too much body roll for an SUV, the transmission was smooth, no jerky take offs or awkward engine braking.
The car was comfortable and very user friendly. About the only negative was the small boot.
I also thought that they could have squeezed more power out if they had turbocharged a smaller engine.
Skyactiv is interesting in that it runs petrol motors at diesel compression ratios but the end result is unremarkable. -
The Mazda CX-5 was an unintended choice when I was looking around to change my ride about 6 months ago. I wanted to change to a SUV/CUV then, and had test-driven several models - Subaru Forester 2.0L & XT, Nissan X-trail, Hyundai Tucson, Mitsubishi Outlander & ASX, among others. The CX-5 was never in my considerations mainly because of its price. But then when I accompanied some friends to Mazda to test drive the Mazda 5, I tried out the CX-5. The rest is history.» Read More
As I had driven a few sedans and hatchbacks, and my previous ride being also another sedan, I was a little worried that I may not get used to driving a CUV. The CX-5 made the transition rather smoothly. In addition, the CX-5 gives me more of what I was looking for humbly for my new ride:
a. Good-looking CUV
b. Luxurious interior styling
c. Spacious cabin
d. Easy & smooth drive & ride
e. Good fuel efficiency
I only wish it could be less expensive. -
Have shortlisted a few car before the decision to buy the CX-5. The reference are Nissan QashQai, X-trail, Vezel, Harrier and even S60.» Read More
The best comparison is actually Qashqai, was comparing the feature in the 2.0 and 1.2T which there is huge diff in accessories but do not like the high gear stick and interior of the car, externally it is not bad. The key rejection is actually CVT transmission which i have been worrying about.
Vezel is not bad but key issue is support from PI which i cannot come to term. Harrier is too expensive then and also support from PI plus japanese wording.
S60 is because it is Diesel power which make road trip northward challenging. Even they mention can use the diesel but might need to service the car earlier which did not get any confirmation from them.
Finally CX5 which is a looker, 6speed AT transmission and good interior space. -
Checked 3 cars. X-trail a good car but felt little under powered. Qashqai 2.0 is smooth but found little cramped at rear seats. My wife who was sitting at rear seat said it is driver car & not passenger car as spacing is not comfortable. At the end, selected CX-5. Though it is little expensive but met all our requirements.» Read More
I have been driving from last 2 weeks & It's simply awesome car. Overall very happy with it. Great look especially my selected red soulmate color, beautiful interiors, smooth driving with perfect handling. Driving elevation is perfect and with premium Bose speakers, every trip is enjoyable with my iPhone music.
Only little issue I have is iSTOP of sky active, which sometimes is irritating but you can always switch it off.
With 60-70% Highway driving, I am clocking excellent 12 to 12.5 km/l and hopefully it will improve as engines smoothens over period of time.
Mazda design has always set new benchmarks for automotive styling, and the CX-5 is the first under the new 'KODO - Soul
of Motion' design theme. The KODO design language - inspired by a movement of a cheetah ready to pounce - brings the
beauty and vitality of economical, agile to vehicle styling.
The CX-5 is also the first to fully showcase the SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY - a revolutionary suite of engineering breakthrough that gives lower fuel consumption and emissions with no compromise in driving pleasure.
Every major vehicle component - engine, transmission, body and chassis - was reengineered from the ground up for greater efficiency and lighter weight for astounding improvements in fuel efficiency, emissions performance, and safety. Not to forget the signature Zoom-Zoom performance and handling.
Welcoming, spacious and comfortable are three words that perfectly describe the CX-5's highly functional cabin. From the first instance you open the door, the CX-5 invites you to settle in and get comfortable.
The world's first remote controlled rear seats lets you fold down just the centre seat, so you can transport long items with 2 child seats in place. With all 3 seats folded, there's 1560 litres of carrying capacity.
The world's highest levels of safety performance let you enjoy CX-5's no-compromise driving pleasure to the fullest. An upgraded Rear Vehicle Monitoring (RVM) system warns you of vehicles approaching from behind or driving in the blind spot.
The Hill Launch Assist (HLA) function supports smooth start-offs without rolling backwards on an upward gradient. Further active safety measures include Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and Traction Control System (TCS), four-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (4W-ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) System.
The CX-5 represents a new breakthrough in engineering and a unique statement in the art of building cars. The CX-5 is an active lifestyle vehicle with performance, style and utility to support and fulfil you in everything you do.
