2021 MAZDA CX-5 POV Test Drive and impressions

[@SamHP85]

One of the reasons why I love Mazdas is the quality and simplicity of the interior. Doesn't have buttons and piano black materials everywhere like some luxury vehicles do.

[@stanleed.harold5457]

As a BMW driver I agree. Love my 3 series and will buy a CX-5 God willing.

[@tyler5568]

Owned this car for two years. Absolutely love it. Quiet, luxurious, beautiful. Maybe a little more room in the back seats for the kids car seats would be nice, but other than that we love it.

[@THATGIRLCHELSEAS]

What were some problems you encountered?

[@James_Cy]

You drive with some balls and I respect the hell out of you for that

[@Iegend17]

Thank you so much! HHaha. 👌🏼🤙🏽

[@tomtalker2000]

I drive the same way...LOL

[@chasey1978]

We just upgraded from the Mazda 3 to a CX5 signature Turbo this week and it's beautiful. It's amazing what a difference 6 years makes in the camara and infotainment technology lol. The camara is so crisp compared to the 2015 Mazda 3 and the navigation map display is faster and more responsive. In the 2021 cx5 signature the car will even display speed limits in the area via a red line indicator on the digital speedometer!

[@miadeckler8896]

I love mine! I just bought a 2021 Mazda CX-30 and I’m so obsessed with it!

[@Iegend17]

I have a review and i think an evening pov drive vide, great suv :)

[@lulyjones9199]

I really enjoyed how you drove it. I got the CX-5 GTR AWD Turbo in Soul Red for its impressive handling and surprising speed & amount of torque. Still getting used to the feel of driving an SUV, coming from a very well planted BMW 328i with beefy staggered tires.

[@shannic]

This will be my next vehicle purchase. Husband gets the handmedown and I get the new car. I’ll let him drive too I GUESS

“It does have plus and minus.” ... really! Is that standard or do you have to pay extra?

[@angiemcgill7862]

Did you say this car has lane assistance and also does it have a digital speedometer?

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

How bout a sport Cx9 and get a turbo for almost same money as this cx5

[@gracec2650]

Do any of the models have active driving display? If so which ones? Thanks!

[@pedro4858]

Yes the grand touring

[@davebaumhomes8798]

If in Canada it's GT/Touring & Signature. I just got one. Very easy to read & even gives turn by turn & distance to turn on the display when using the navigation. Very happy with it

[@nokubongamasemola3845]

My dream car is a Mazda CX-5 or a range rover velar

[@user-ryoppy8]

so cool!

[@moncho33]

Are there any significant changes between the 2020 and 2021 models? Ride quality, engine and gearbox performance?

[@zeldaoftime]

Just screen inch

[@Iegend17]

No none of that. Everything stayed the same great suv and fun to drive

[@moncho33]

@@Iegend17 Thanks!

[@vvt2257]

The only thing they changed is the infotainment system and camera quality

[@davebaumhomes8798]

@@zeldaoftime I've been told in Canada the newer screen (10") up from 8 is due out starting this June.

[@gildarts_clive]

I don't understand how Mazda has a better infotainment than Lexus. Japanese cars should be the most advanced in infotainment systems, but it's not.

[@chasey1978]

Lexus is owned by Toyota a Japanese company and Mazda is also a Japanese company owned partly by Toyota too (used to be partly owned by Ford but not anymore) 🤔

[@stevenhua]

I’ve heard that Lexus infotainment is still old because they’re trying to be reliable...obviously with newer tech comes the uncertainty of reliability but idk tbh

[@Mussie69]

Just bought the Grand Touring (Soul Red) There are a few things I don't like about the car (to be honest) No built-in XM Satellite radio. NO wireless charging, getting 22.5 per gallon (terrible), and no wireless auto. Besides that, it's an excellent car for the money.

[@Iegend17]

When it comes to mpgs numbers aren’t accurate. Like my accord is rated at 22 city 33 highway. But I get 18-19 mpgs I do push my car here and there. I can’t complain becuase if I really wanted to save gas I should’ve got a hybrid. Wireless chargers are nice to have but little pointless since they charge phones very slow. Wireless CarPlay would be nice though :)

[@Montana270]

You'll get better mpg after a few k miles. My cx3 got 24. With 15k on it now im getting 30 which is what its rated for

[@randomthoughts1001]

Your milage should improve after engine break in.

[@spike9393]

Is it AWD?

Is this 2 5 turbo awd???

[@EarReadMusic]

edit: I WAS WRONG, Everything I wrote in this comment was wrong. CORRECTION NOTE: the display is a touchscreen, however the touch controls are always locked while moving. Once the car reads 0 mph/kph on the speedometer, It will unlock the touch controls.

[@Iegend17]

yes you are right, thank you for mentioning that

[@JohnnySnaps]

@@Iegend17 My man, he was WRONG. 2021 with the 10.25" infotainment screen is NOT touchscreen.

hes wrong, 2021 has the updated infotainment with no touch capabilities

[@gerardoarevalo8350]

This engine is 2.0’or 2.5?

Comes in both. I recommend the 2.5 turbo. Noticeable difference. Had smaller engine in my last car & notice a big difference

[@Mrtellitlikeitis]

@@davebaumhomes8798 oh stop. I’ve driven both. Turbo is only good when I want to pass. It’s not a throw u back in seat turbo. It’s gradual. The base engine is more than enough

“See how it does?” Lol. Does what bro? Learn some words if you want to review things please, that was painful?

[@Iegend17]

Thank you for your feedback. What would you say if you were me? 😃 no one commented about me saying that for the past two years of me doing videos.

[@2004cyrus]

@@Iegend17 People don’t mention because most people watching these are super young or not that bright or have low expectations. Maybe you don’t want your channel to grow. I have no idea. I just discovered you a few hours ago and saw your CX-5 video. Sadly you said “see what it does” 3x in a short video. You can say whatever you want to but words are powerful and they paint pictures, they creat visions for your audience and can spur our imaginations. Words are everything and “see what it does” is super lazy and flat. So I challenge you to use the cars name and say hey this “CX-5” delivers more torque and hp than the competition so hop inside with me and let’s see how it all works together, shall we? Just infuse some personality unless you don’t have any. Don’t you ever watch Joe Raiti or Sofyan Bey or Alex on Autos or dozens of other car channels like straight pipes where they are fun and deliver the facts with neat personality? You can be dry but at use grab a thesaurus and find some words to cheer up your everyday conversations and your channel. Just my 2¢. Yea I’m 32 so probably old fashioned to you: choice is up to you. Consider what I’m saying and I’ll keep watching to see if you improve. If not, it’s your life to live. Take care and thanks for replying. I know you can do better. Thanks

[@Iegend17]

@@2004cyrus thank you so much. That comment means a lot. I am still a small youtuber and I have an accent. English is my second language and trust me all the comments I get from people is making me do better the next video. If you watch my recent videos you will see the difference. It’s harder than you think. Before the video I would want to see a lot of things but in video I forget a lot of things. But again I am improving. I will try to use more vocabulary. Thanks again

[@2004cyrus]

@@Iegend17 absolutely! I’ll continue to support you and share your channel with others. Thanks for elaborating on your ethnicity and other small challenges that you deal with speaking English. I’m sorry if I was harsh. I respect anyone and their intelligence to speak multiple languages. And maybe you can make some notes of your thoughts and outline what you want to highlight and even script out some sentences to sprinkle in the review to engage the viewers. Practice makes perfect. And preparation. You can do it all and I’m here for it!

The engine noise is just too much. And the interior is outdated. Not worth it.
