👉 2021 Mazda CX-5 Signature AWD CX5 - Ultimate In-Depth Look & Test Drive

[@Hybrid889]

Appreciate you taking the hour and putting a comprehensive video together, sometimes viewers are looking for the extra detail.

[@robjennings7502]

Received this same exact model today as a loaner while my 6 is being serviced. The fit and finish of this car are superb. Not to mention that I've received a few compliments on it as well. Driving this car around further solidifies my reasoning that Mazda is truly the "BMW" of the Japanese auto market. Excellent review my friend!

[@gregoryn7745]

We just bought a CX-5 Signature. We watched many videos before buying the car. This video is excellent, so helpful, both before buying and after. Although the guys at the dealership were very helpful in showing us how to use all of the features, you never learn everything until you actually have the car at home to yourself. This video helps so much after purchase to learn how to use so many of the features. I have to agree that the seats are not going to be nicely comfortable to everyone, but to my wife and I they are very very good. Mike is right, the leg room for the driver on the right side is a bit cramped, but not enough to reject the car - seems OK to me. And there is no issue on the passenger side - more than enough room. We have another car purchased 2 years ago that is much more expensive, and we like this Mazda just as much.

[@saylorgirl799]

Were the seats uncomfortable for you? I keep hearing that same complaint repeatedly… “ very uncomfortable seats”… just wondering if that was your experience as well?

Wow! I have yet to see such a detailed car review! Thanks so much! Really well done! I feel like you covered all the things I want to know about a car that you never have time to do when seeing a car at a dealership.

[@werners5191]

I recently got a CX-5 and love it. Wish you had taken it on the road for part of your review, because a huge asset for this car is how well it drives. It takes turns like it’s on rails. And it is so quiet at speed. And the interior is upscale. And it looks boss. It feels a lot like a luxury vehicle.

Thank you for this! I recently purchase a lease-return 2019 CX-5 to replace my 2008 Toyota Matrix. I was a bit overwhelmed by all the new technological features, but this video helped me see them instead of having to find and read them in the manual. Not to mention terminology is not what it used to be! Anyway, I'm sure I'll enjoy this car even more now that I have a better understanding of where things are and how to use them. Kudos!!

[@duey1083]

It's a great review, but if you really appreciate good camera work, check out the "savagegeese" KZbin channel...he also covers the CX-5, though not the 2021.5 MY.

[@coopidon]

As a Mazda 3 2019 owner, in this color, I can say that as beautiful as this color is, it's way too weak/soft. Almost anything that hits the front end of the car while driving, bird shit left unwiped will leave a mark or chip the clear coat/paint. The best when choosing this color is to take the car straight from the dealership to a body shop and apply a protective transparent foil on it. My next car will be a CX-5 and I will stick with this color but I will take into account already the money for applying a protective film on the car. It's a must, also on the headlights.

[@barborabrnak1887]

The red colour is the most attention catching shade you see on roads. However, when I was looking at Mazdas as a potential brand for my new vehicle, they advised me at the dealership that it chips. That alone put me off.

[@teemcshanney8910]

What's protective "foil?" I've heard of films and ceramic coatings only. I would never apply any sort of metallic finish to paint, and it's never been mentioned in any of the many many car videos I have seen so I'm not clear on what you're talking about.

[@coopidon]

@@teemcshanney8910 I am not a native English speaker so maybe the terms I have used are not that technical. What I mean was to apply transparent protective car wrap. There are various car wraps that can be applied, they don't harm the paint, they are transparent and colourless. There is a type which can even heal minor scratches when left under the sun.

[@paulm2467]

That’s strange, this was a known problem in the 2018 and earlier models, it was changed and supposedly corrected for the 2019 model. I have a 4.5 year old 2019 in soul crystal red, I live in London and the car is never garaged and my paint is immaculate.

[@coopidon]

@@paulm2467 The hood on my car is full of rock chips where the paint has been removed. It's looks like it has been bombarded.

[@tamm_mf]

If I have more savings I would consider 4WD cars, but with what I have I can buy AWD Mazda CX5 2021 brand new, for me, it is the best SUV in its segment. The video is long but it is in the title, I skip the part about the MZD connect part. Thank you for your effort !!

[@scottlowell493]

The premium soul red is my favorite red color on a vehicle, ever. The CX5 turbo: - Best quality interior of any suv in class (Seems like a $55,000 European suv) - best handling (Like a $55,000 BMW) - Quickest in price class - Best looking (doesn't look like a box or a station wagon) - Real transmission, not a cheap CVT. The power is very good, and the premium bose system sounds excellent, thanks to the fact the car is quiet inside the cab. I want a 2022 AWD grand touring.

[@2004cyrus]

I leased a 21 in June. I have the GT w premium package in snowflake white Pearl w parchment leather. I’m very happy with it. Only complaint is that I do find my bum to be sore after 30 minutes of driving: I bought a gel pad for the seat bottom. Nissan seats are more comfortable for sure.

[@paulm2467]

@@2004cyrusthe seat firmness seems to be a very personal issue, I regularly drive 6 hours with one stop and I find that it’s the most comfortable seat I’ve ever had but I’ve had a passenger who found it uncomfortable.

[@2004cyrus]

@@paulm2467 absolutely. I’m getting used to it but I carry a couple of gel cushions and employ them often, I don’t have enough fat on my ass.

[@2004cyrus]

I have one of these. I bought key covers off Amazon and snapped them on and luckily I’ve never had the rear-hatch open. I assume Mike was within about 30’ feet from the CX-5 when the button to open the hatch was activated. I have the Mazda app downloaded onto my iPhone so if/when the satellites detect a door is unlocked or open I get a notification. Those 2 things should help Mazda CX-5 owners. Thanks Mike great job always. I like Caturra Brown leather on those signature trim.

[@alau2058]

That would improve the visibility too, I would think.

[@Mike-pb7jm]

This larger screen is a tradeoff versus the older smaller screens (2019 ish). The older CX5 models have smaller screens with touch input under about 5 mph, so you can quickly input street addresses while parked.

[@themadnes5413]

had a bmw x3 before my cx-5 and the shifting and ride quality is better, the x3 was very firm and you felt every little bump, also the cx-5 shifts way smoother. So ride quality is much better then in the x3 and a lot quieter overall. Would buy the the cx-5 again over a x3 every day of the week.

[@aytugdemir1323]

Awesome vehicle and video! I test drove the 2020 GTR model, and I didn't think the seats were too bad, and those are the step-down from the ones you get in the signature trim. I'm sure I would like the ones in the signature trim. I'm not necessarily looking for a La-Z-Boy couch to sit on while driving. I was overall very impressed with the vehicle, it was definitely a great experience over other, more boring, and more basic crossovers in the segment, like it's CR-V and RAV4 counterparts

[@2004cyrus]

I own a 2021 CX-5 and my butt is sore after 20 minutes driving on these firm seats. They look nice but Nissan has them beat on softness.

[@teemcshanney8910]

I drive 8-12 hrs/day in my my 2013 Mazda CX-5 Touring (mid-level) AWD. Seats are amazing, supportive, great for my skinny/muscular butt and legs and decently soft. Incredible design has only improved since then! Only thing I dislike is CUV body roll, which I've heard is better than its rivals. I'll never buy a crossover again, I'm a coupe, hatchback and sedan fan for driving dynamics.

I"m glad you mentioned the "competing" with your leg and the center console. It's actually been a major factor for me in a few cars where not being able to "manspread" means you need to put the seat back quite a bit further.

[@marilynm9100]

@@2004cyrus Agree. I want to lease too but I’ve never done it.

[@2004cyrus]

@@marilynm9100 I’m on my 3rd lease. I love it. Gives me the option to trade into a new car every 3 years without ever being upside down. Or if you love the car you can finance it when the lease is up. But with leasing I don’t have to worry about ever being without warranty and having repairs to deal with, or having to replace tires. Because every manufacturer offers at least a 3 year bumper to bumper warranty. You still pay for your TT&L, and full coverage car insurance. You can tell them you want to buy extra miles up front if you drive more than about 15,000 miles per year. If you go over you can pay them at the end approximately 11¢ per mile. I don’t care to buy a car and keep it for 10 years like a lot of people so I just always plan on having a $500/month car payment (lease) for the convenience of newer cars and no maintenance other than taking it in for oil changes and manufacture suggested maintenance intervals which don’t cost much. You get a vehicle with the latest technology which I like, ventilated seats, wireless Apple car play, panoramic sunroof, safety tech, heated steering wheel and heated back seats and with a lease the manufacturer often offers a near zero interest rate which is called a Money-Factor on the lease. Let me know if you ever have any questions.

[@marilynm9100]

@@2004cyrus Thank you so much! I agree! I’m researching how to lease so I won’t get taken. Lol

[@2004cyrus]

@@marilynm9100 well I’m super familiar and was going to give you advice on that. But the car buying world has changed quickly and drastically. The negotiations are dead. You can hope for a good interest rate depending on credit, but the price, well those are sticker plus the dealer market adjustments now. There are always exceptions to this and you’ll have to just visit manufacturer websites as you referred to needing to research. So yes. Some car makers offer $750 off or something but that’s usually on a purchase. Sadly with these silly chip shortages, customers are at the mercy of the dealers & manufacturers. The finance manager will offer you lots of extra products, I listen to their pitch and always always always say no thank you and sometimes you have to turn them down about 3 times. Remember not to cave in because you can always stand up and say thanks but I’m no longer interested and that you are going to “Honda” to do business. Make something up. If your credit is great I wouldn’t put any money down either. Keep your money on a lease and tell them to roll the fees into the payment because they will anyway. Ask them to let you review the contract for 10 minutes before they rush you into signing. Because there is room for them to throw in several fees & charges. Question anything you don’t understand. They’ll often back peddle and remove most of them. Don’t sign anything you aren’t comfortable with. I’m not trying yo talk down to you here. You’ve probably negotiated car deals before. So I apologize ahead of time. I worked in car sales for 3 years and I know the tricks. There are lots of them. Also, don’t act excited about any cars on the test drive or say omg it’s perfect I have to have. I’d you do that, the salesman will tell the manager you were foaming at the mouth and they won’t knock anything off. So keep it very dry and tell them the car is just okay and you expected softer seats or a better stereo or a larger trunk but that maybe the car will work if the numbers are right. Don’t tell them what you do for a living when you arrive at the store and the salesman’s asks, don’t tell them what you want your payments to be and don’t tell them anything about putting money down. Tell the salesman you just want knowledge about the car. Tell him you’ll discuss employment and finances when you get with the business manager. You don’t owe them any information while you arrive for a good test drive. It is okay to provide your driver license and car insurance card for them to make a photocopy of in order for you to take their car out for a test drive. Hope some of this helps. You can verify what I’m telling you if you Search car buying tips online and if you use KZbin a lot you can watch car buying videos. I’m here if you want to know anything else. I’m Kody. Good luck Marilyn.

My favorite part of the infotainment system is that I can play my favorite songs from a flash drive. My songs are very rare, so most will not be found on Sirius, or whatever it's called. Gracenote doesn't even have most of the cover art for my songs. I have the cover art w/ my songs, but the Infotainment system ignores them, so I have to depend on Gracenote, which is practically useless, in my case. When backing up, and using the camera, I don't like the fish-eye look. It's gives a distorted look. It only helps a little my only negative with the Maza CX-5... the blind spots, which I'm sure, all SUVs have.

[@SS-wm1wy]

I have a 2020 cx 5 Signature. Sometimes when I push the Auto Hold button to activate it, it flashes a few times and then disengages. The car has to be restarted to make it work. The smart cruise works fine except rarely it does not slow down the car but beeps at me to brake asap when a car is stopped in front of me. Sometimes there is a rattle on the passenger side near the A pillar but I have no idea what is causing it. My 2013 Mazda6 also does it sometimes. Seat bottom does not extend out far enough, and heated seats and steering turn off every time you turn the car off, you have to manually turn them on- the car should remember the last setting.

[@2004cyrus]

You expect unreasonable things. Of course the heated steering wheel and seats have to be turned on with each start cycle. All brands of cars I owned did this. It’s too much stress on the battery to keep accessories on while performing a cold start. The rattle my brother loose items on the floor or in your door handle cubby. The things don’t extend on non luxury cars. Auto Hold always works fine on my new CX-5 so you are doing something wrong by trying to activate it. Check your owners manual for correct usage. These are outstanding vehicles and I’ve had 5 with no problems. There is no perfect car of course. But there is some nit-picking here that I wish to defend.

@@2004cyrus The windshield readout can be adjusted to where it is not visible at all. As it is, the system displays the Mazda nav info on the windshield only. Just nav info is seen and not radio or music info. But if you don't use the Mazda nav it won't show the other nav from Apple or Google, which seem to have more accurate directions. The map doesn't show. It's just basic turn by turn info for what is coming up within about a mile. I like it because you can adjust the readout where you want it. I put it at the lowest part of the windshield where it is not in my direct line of sight. It's quite handy once you get accustomed to it. Pretty much everybody has this feature on the higher trim levels. I do wonder how reliable it is long term however.

Hello there! Very nice in depth review. I am now considering cx-5 and 6 models. In my country the top trim is called Takumi and it’s not turbo charged.

Only problem with Mazda is the depreciation which is mainly due to the company selling so many as fleet vehicles to the car rental companies. Because of the buyback agreement manufacturers buyback older models from the car rental companies thereby allowing them to buy new models. Auto manufacturers then sell the older models to auto auction companies who flood the used car market which deprecates your resale value by thousands of dollars.

[@2004cyrus]

Just least like I do. I never see Mazdas on rental lots. I wish I did. But Mazda is a small company relative to others. I see Ford Chevy Nissan and Hyundai on our rental lots. Resale is getting better. Cars are just not good investments as you know.

[@DenisBissonExplorerchess]

@@francesdinicola6669 Ha! Ha! Yeah... But KITT was talking too! :-) (Thanks for the info).

[@2004cyrus]

I just put the location in my phone map and it connects to the Mazda via CarPlay. I don’t use the keyboard hardly ever

Bought a 2021 Touring CX-5 in Mica Blue with black interior and of all the new cars bought in the past 40+ years I love this one the best and I have owned a couple of new Cadillac's, Thunderbird and Dodge Ram. The only thing that is annoying is the screen is not touch enabled. When my wife and I are in the car, it would be nice if she could scroll Google maps with CarPlay and move around. Otherwise if I was to buy another new car it would be another Mazda CX-5.

I just bought the 2021 Mazda CX5 signature. I am having a problem with the the button on the left hand side of steering wheel which you describe as used for "changing tracks on radio" on my car this button only changes my preset channels on FM. does not work on Sirius. Know one seems to know anything about this. I've activated the Sirius radio and set all my favorites. but this button will not change stations on Sirius. DO you have any idea . if this is a malfunction of a reality, Ive even called mazda and they told me it is used only for non pre set stations. nothing makes sense. Would appreciate your help

[@russclaeyborn3587]

Just imagine how I felt when I bought a 2021 CX-5 Carbon Edition, and I tried understand all of that technology, after driving a 1999 Mercury Mystique for 22 years. Fortunate for me, I don't need to use many of the buttons. I just plug my flash card into the USB port to listen to thousands of my favorite songs that I copied from my CDs. It just takes a little setting up.

Mike, great review! Quick question: I just purchased the CX-5 Touring in Soul Red. Do you think Mazda will allow WIRELESS Android Auto in the near future? I don't like wires and my previous car(10 years old) had XM radio built-in and I miss having that option in this vehicle. I have the Touring preferred options. At over 30K, I'm surprised my new car did not come with XM built-in.

[@aytugdemir1323]

In the Canadian 2021 models they already have the wireless feature, so that'll probably be coming very soon in the US models, probably for the 2022 model year.

[@gareyris345]

@@aytugdemir1323 True, but unfortunately we didn't get the new infotainment system, probably because if currency issues. Otherwise, I have no idea why we didn't get it. Will be interesting to see if sales are affected much.

[@2004cyrus]

That is interesting. I have a new CX-5 as well and it does have XM. But it depends on the trim level you chose. Mine is Grand Touring. I would assume the Touring has it as well. And the sport probably does not. Most people don’t care about XM but I use it daily.

[@SLone3251]

Woulda been perfect if they gave this car auto-dimming for the side mirrors.

[@2004cyrus]

I thought the left side had it but I may be wrong. I know their Mazda 6 has it

[@SLone3251]

@@2004cyrus Yeah the 3 and 6 (certain packages) have it but I just don't get why the CX-5 doesn't have it. Makes no sense.

[@Kenny_Mars]

Took out a 2021 cx-5 turbo today from the local dealer in Canada and it had an 8" screen. What the heck? We get burned for everything in Chinada.

[@2004cyrus]

Wow are you sure about that? Sounds like the 2019.

[@Kenny_Mars]

@@2004cyrus Positive, we bought it, signature version. Only available with 8" screens in Chinada, wife loves the car so it's fine.

[@rajeshmurali3932]

Hey Mike. I like your reviews. I have a small doubt on one of the buttons on Mazda CX-5 tailgate. There is a regular button to open tailgate between license plate lights. But there is other one to the right of those lights. Which is a bit confusing. Can you please elaborate on this or make a short video please?

[@MikesCarInfo]

The button to the right is to lock the vehicle.

[@rajeshmurali3932]

@@MikesCarInfo thank you

[@db-ro6ui]

The fact that the Grand Touring model is missing a digital speedometer and a capless filler gas cap….bruh.

[@2004cyrus]

It’s missing a digital speedometer? You don’t like the analog? Those are nit-picky complaints. Look for them to appear on the next generation.
