2021 Mazda CX-5 // Mazda FIXED the TECH (and More) for 2021!!

[@Sam___________]

Mazda has, in my opinion, the best red paint of any brand. That soul red looks amazing on camera, but in person, it looks even better! If I ever decided to get a Mazda, it would definitely have to be in the soul red!

[@amyrichardson7364]

The whole reason I started looking at a new car 😍 eye catching Mazda red

[@Sam___________]

@@amyrichardson7364 every time I pass by a Mazda dealership on my way to work, they have a CX-5 in red right out front lol. It’s like it’s calling my name to buy it just because of the red😂and I already love red, but their red is insane!! I would totally buy it, just because of the color lol

[@5836609]

Made in Japan is probably a big deciding factor!

[@alstoningramjr]

Two deciding factors for me: no STOP START NUISANCE and a 6 speed transmission without CVT! You’ll love the CX-5!

[@brenrenn8306]

I agree totally on both counts, I had a Subaru outback, and was going to get a 2021, but the minute I saw that they’ve gone over to stop start, I walked away, as well as the CVT transmission, just like you said the CX five has neither and excels in both of those with their alternatives. Just bought the CX five its great.

[@rkalla]

Damn you guys already likes the CX5 quite a bit - Mazda is laser focused, nice to see them succeed!

[@scottlowell493]

In this day and age when companies like Dodge never seem to get any better (they make the "do not buy". list every year), Mazda is refining and giving you things you normally would find in a $55,000 European car. Best looking suv, quickest and best handling compact SUV in the price class. Easily the best interior.

[@johnnytampocao7671]

Power folding side mirror should be standard in every model. This CUV is still the best looking car in this segment with the new infotainment system and turbo this is on top of the list for those who prefers speed and luxury. This is the best time to buy CX-5 it's the complete package.👌 👌

[@onlyhuman2015]

@Paul Attard The first thing I noticed about the Tucson is... there is no turbo option, so you're stuck on 187 hp., while the CX-5 can have a turbo that gives you 227 hp, or 250 hp w/ premium gas, and the turbo gives over 300 torque at 4,000 rpm. The CX-5 has a larger fuel tank. The Tucson has Idle Stop/Go... the Mazda does not. With Idle Stop/Go, the engine will shut down every time you stop at a traffic light, and then restart when to let up on the brakes. IMO, this is a terrible and costly thing to have, just for saving a few tablespoons of fuel. Idle Stop/Start wears out many parts on, and in, the engine. In 2021, no new Mazda in the U.S. was given the Idle Stop/Stop technology, which is a big reason why I bought a Mazda. That might change in 2022, though, so keep investigating.

[@inctru]

My next vehicle (my first ever automatic) will likely be a Mazda, simply because they still use standard 6-speed automatics, instead of garbage push-belt CVT's.

[@brenrenn8306]

I agree totally, that’s why I just bought the CX 5 , and traded in my Subaru outback, they have reverted over to that horrible stop start transmission which I just hate, so I walked away and got the CX 5, it’s a great car

[@fairalbion]

Having owned a Gen 5 CR-V, and having just replaced it with a 2021 CX-5, I can confirm everything you say about the quality, solidity & driving dynamics. The CR-V wins on internal volume & fuel economy, but pales in comparison in every other respect. Great job by the way - this is one of the best & well thought-out video reviews I have seen,

[@CarConfections]

Glad you enjoyed the video and congrats on your new CX-5!

[@chrissimmons9969]

If I was in the market for a compact CUV this would definitely be on my shortlist. Another great review as per usual.

[@inctru]

I don't consider the CX-5 a compact vehicle. The CX-30, yes.

[@WhalerGA]

My only complaint about the CX-5 is the cylinder deactivation feature . . . on a 4-cylinder of all things. I'd rather suffer through auto start-stop than cylinder deactivation on a 4-banger.

Mazda and Volvo are the only makers that I know of that make constant, but noticeable and necessary revisions to their cars each model year. I like that Mazda knows the compact CUV class is red-hot and they know that the CX-5 has to remain relevant. While I hate they still did not give the CX-5 all LED exterior lighting(turn signals/reverse lights) like the CX30(which is odd, considering the 30 is supposed to be a notch below), it is good to know they've finally addressed the technical shortcomings.

[@Striker50_]

GRIPES no one is talking about: The gas tank is really small on these. I find myself having to fill up less than 300 miles of range and that is highway driving The rear seat charging ports and heated seat buttons are placed VERY inconveniently. You lose access if 3 people are sitting in the back or if your rear passengers do not know about it being in the arm rest. The key fob makes the buttons so tiny to press. Large buttons are always better, especially when you have gloves on or press the button while the key fob is in your pocket. Then some things that were pointed out like the hands-free tailgate, the panoramic moonroof, and smaller storage than competition all make it stand out. Would also love to see headlights and taillights have actual LED turn signals and not incandescent. Rear leg room could be better but not bad, and MPGs could be a lot better but the biggest thing holding it back is that it does not have an efficient transmission like an 8 or 10 speed or even a reliable CVT like Honda. Mazda could be a HUGE player if it just pushed it an extra 10% in effort

I have a 2019 CX-5 Grand Touring Reserve in red (next to the top Signature model) and aside from the new paddle shifters and a bit more torque my Reserve is pretty much the same vehicle as the 2021. I've upgraded the interior with several good quality Chinese made items from Ali Express for very reasonable prices. Also I replaced the "low rent" hood prop rod with two gas struts. I've added (for over $400. with labor!) factory lighted door sill "CX-5" plates, also MAZDA roof racks and retracting trunk cover. Upgrades make this car even more luxurious. ** Adding 1/2 tank 100 octane gas to 91 octane "western US premium" gas REALLY wakes up this turboed engine.

Had 1 warranty job done, it was a squeaky axle seal, and it only started to make noise after about 40 mins of driving, it was a pain to figure out what it was but no leak, just annoying noise on the highway that can only be heard by younger people, my parents and older mechanics could not hear this noise.

I believe you are incorrect or at least it needs clarifying in your statement at 12:35 that only the Signature trim has integrated Navigation. Only the Signature trim has the Navigation data card installed. But all trims have the port in the center arm rest for the Navigation card, which Mazda sells for $450. So, for $450 from Mazda all trims levels can be upgraded to integrated Navigation.

Interior space and especially cargo capacity doesn't just "lag behind some of the competition." It offers less of both than any other compact crossover. And not by a small margin. The KIA Seltos, a step down in size in the subcompact class offers more total cargo space (62.8 cubic ft) than the CX-5 (59.6 cubic ft). The CX-5 has a number of virtues and is literally the only bright spot in the entire Mazda lineup in terms of sales. But in terms of interior space, presumably an important feature of a crossover, it comes up very short.

[@chief8079]

Mazdas in general aren't the most practical cars. The CX-9 has less overall cargo space than the CR-V and Rogue despite being almost 20" longer. The CX-5 should be a subcompact and the CX-9 a compact SUV.
