2019 Mazda CX-5 Signature | CarGurus First Drive

[@loiscasey1338]

I bought this car instead of the qx50 and I’m glad. Feature by feature it compares plus no cvt transmission.

[@MisterMannerisms]

That was one of the reasons I went with it too. What color did you get? I spent far too long debating. I went with the SRC.

[@loiscasey1338]

I bought this car instead of the acura rdx Every morning when I start the car I’m enjoying And after 10 years of driving acura I’m pretty happy Good job Mazda

[@benlisi2540]

marek Nyc I bought the QX50 sensory Package Mazda CX5 is no comparison please

[@MarNicole76]

marek Nyc: WOW at an Acura lover now loving a Mazda. I’m debating between the 2019 Acura RDX, the Cadillac XT4 and the Mazda. I’m 13 years Honda Accord driver looking to try something new and super confused. 🥺

[@romeotrinh6415]

I buy this Cx5 every time over those luxury brands out there still save $15,000 for Christmas gìts!

[@richardleston5237]

Lien Trinh 15k on Christmas gifts 🎁 I’m friends with the wrong people 😦

[@johnnytampocao7671]

I just love this car it's the perfect size for me, the interior is beautifully laid out and it seems to perform very well in every surface.

[@rkalla]

Great review, didn’t know about the consistent torque regardless of octane or how the turbo is precharged using the inlet size.

[@MrNemo721]

Great job Mazda! Best in class easily if you even care a little about driving, and not a point A to B appliance.

[@pattim1283]

I'm currently drive a Lexus ES but looking to move into the SUV world. I drove the CX-5 and really wanted to love it. I thought the features were great and it was a fun car to drive but it rode very rough. I've driven the new Rav4 which drove smoother but was not a peppy as the CX-5. I may stay with the Lexus NX but will admit I'm a bit aggrevated with Lexus that some features such as rain sensing wipers are not available on that model. One would think when spending $45,000 that would be standard. It's just hard to top the reliability of a Lexus. But I haven't completely decided against the CX-5 just yet.

[@Kingthin]

Mazda ROCKS!!! Love my CX5

[@MrPicky400]

Help me we dont have acura in my country is the mazda really worth buying over acura

[@swanblake]

Yes. Acura is not great

[@scenicroutetravelers3655]

That was a really good review! I am cross shopping the CX5 against Porsche, Infinity Lincoln, Acura, Mercedes, and Lexus. SO YEAH the Mazda with the signature series is FREAKING KILLING IT! It looks like it is by far the best bang for the buck. The CX9 has even nicer interior so add that one to the list of cross shopping lol.

[@benlisi2540]

ScenicRouteTravelers365 Mazda is not a luxury brand can’t compete in the luxury field I saw a Mazda X5 close it’s not a luxury brand the Infiniti QX 50 is far superior in every way

[@scenicroutetravelers3655]

@@benlisi2540 says who? It's my money and those are the brands I'm comparing. Maybe you should look at the cx9 signature. As I said, for the money the Mazda wins.

[@benlisi2540]

ScenicRouteTravelers365 I agree it's your money the CX nine is not a QX 50

[@zoltangz]

@@benlisi2540 Yeah the price is far superior too !

[@benlisi2540]

zoltangz1 I agree with you

[@secordman]

41K for this, 33K for the CX3 high end version. Not your fault, this is what they give you to review but I'd rather see the more affordable versions.

[@stephenhendricks103]

Good job, Mazda. Haven't driven the new CX-5 but I've driven both the Mazda6 and the CX-9 with the same engine. I suspect its best application may be in the CX-5. The CX-9 is simply huge with a terribly inefficient allocation of interior space. (Less than the Kia Sorento that's over 10 inches shorter.) Furthermore, most of its competition (other than the Subaru Ascent) offer naturally aspirated V6's, engines that are better suited to the larger midsize CUV category. In the Mazda6 the 2.5L turbo does a good job but there the competition from the Honda Accord 2.0L turbo, a version of the engine in the Civic Type R, and naturally aspirated V6 Toyota Camry is stiff. The Mazda is undoubtedly superior to the earlier versions of the Accord and Camry but in terms of performance it trails both the new Honda and the Toyota. As nice as the Signature trim of the CX-5 is, I suspect it's a pipe dream to think it will steal many sales from the Acura RDX. Customers seriously shopping for an RDX won't be deterred by the price premium, especially in view of the more upscale interior, more room, and better dealer experience with the Acura. More likely it will make a dent in Honda CR-V and Toyota Rav4 upper trim sales where the price points are roughly equivalent and the Mazda's engine is arguably superior. The most credible rival is likely to be the Hyundai Santa Fe. Its "tweener" size offers more utility than the smaller CX-5 and in its "Ultimate" trim, it comes close to the Signature trim of the Mazda with better infotainment, a panoramic sunroof, a center locking differential, and a variety of other innovative features. On the other hand, the Mazda is likely to handle better especially considering that its several hundred pounds lighter than the Hyundai. And while styling is obviously subjective, most, I think, would agree the Mazda is more attractive.

[@Xyleksoll]

Mazda 6 turbo is not even comig close to the "old" Accord V6 in terms of performance. The new Accord 2.0t barely edges the V6 sedan thanks to the slick 10 speed.

[@normt5463]

Car & Driver just tested CX-5 2 5t 0-60 mph at.6.2 seconds. That is about a half second faster than the RDX 2.0T.

[@denisilyayev1878]

Its slower than Aspec 2.0t ....

[@ismet_sxv]

Brilliant car and video 🔥

[@jj5515]

I'd like to know how mazda is in reliability and quality. Anyone know where I can look or read up on?

[@MrLanceboil]

Jinu J Consumer reports publishers reliability results and the CX five has top pic in that department

[@randomthoughts1001]

Mazda Just knocked Toyota and Lexus out of the top spots , Consumer Reports most reliable. 🤠👍🏻

[@SidneyDiongzon]

Woooo-hooo!!! The Whistler team!!!

[@mareknyc9320]

Beautiful review

[@3lectronic0]

Rav4 2019 or this one?

[@kateguns4953]

3lectronic0 this is what I’m debating on

[@ludovicoc7046]

Isn't it the law in Canada that cars are required to have snow tires in winter? If so, then the review should have mentioned that, since the ride, road noise, and handling would all be affected for this test vs. testing with the standard tires.

[@bobvee1694]

Differs province to province, but I believe only mandatory in Quebec. The test car was registered in Ontario, (based on the plates), where I believe the only mandate is that drivers using winter tires must receive an insurance discount.

[@secordman]

Ontario does not have a winter tire law. Many of us have them though.

[@youtubehub8190]

wish i had the money to get a cx 5

[@brucekendall52]

Thks.

[@manuelias86]

I wish it had a bigger screen and a panoramic roof.... I may just go for the xc40. Lexus front is too ugly to even consider.

[@hoiyo429]

Difficult on my mind and ears to get through this video. We are the talented people?

[@aaronwilliamarce3521]

it would be nice if it has a Manual option for this Car.

[@zoltangz]

Come to Hungary, you'll get manual up the gazzoo !!! I had a hard time getting an automatic here !!! They are all nuts about manuals here in Europe.. and there is absolutely no reason anymore with today's automatics. In many instances they beat the stick shifts, and they are not a pain to drive in the city, which is usually most of the driving anyway.

[@sweetlady2037]

I'm gonna have to find out b4 I purchase 1!! I want no parts of a ford on any vehicle of mine

[@danielbob4310]

They stopped working with Ford a long time ago. Not sure about the parts, though.

[@ABSVabeautifulsunsetvlog]

Haven’t had Ford parts since 2012

[@bextar6365]

CX5 is due for a restyle, I purchased a all new 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL 2.4 with FWD for $26k. Luv the new body style and standard safety features. Another plus is the interior versus the CX5.

[@atl3630]

Bextar636 Huh? The cx5 is better, inside and out.

[@kdomster9141]

Sorry that you bought inferior and generic Hyundai ....

[@benlisi2540]

k domster No you didn’t Hyundai Santa Fe is a beautiful automobile

[@zoltangz]

You are joking, right !?!? The Santa Fe has a cheap plastic interior, and the horrible forward tilted, unadjustable head rests will give one a crick in the neck in short order!

[@benlisi2540]

zoltangz1 No I find the 2019 Santa Fe a beautiful automobile

[@fatbowe]

FOR 38K I CAN GET A VERY NICE F150....;;--),,,,,,,,,,

[@mssha1980]

billy fatbowe it’s crazy you have to pay that much for all the features. At that price you can get a 2 year old RX350 or GLC300.

[@Jim007baker]

Garden hose, this turbo is as fun as a garden hose haha, I drove it and couldn't tell if it had a turbo, not really that fast sorry Mazda no real zoom zoom in this garden hose, this Cx 5 is truly disappointing. I'll stick with my fun to drive 2016.5 CX 5

[@medellon]

Nice car but I don't care for the octane requirement.

[@pwrshots]

most turbo engines require high octane. mazda gives you a choice. however the torque stays the same. torque is what gets a car in motion, not horsepower.

[@swanblake]

You clearly haven't driven a new car with hp. Stop being so cheap

[@medellon]

@@swanblake It just feels gimmicky, off the top of my head I don't know of other engines that have differing HP numbers depending on octane. Unable to get 93 octane in my fairly large city.

[@zoltangz]

Then don't buy a turbo!

[@Islanderchillexpress]

Paint chipping,not reliable piece of shi..customer support dont exist. No long term value.
