Looks as if it is pretty much confirmed that the 2014 CX-5 will have a 2.5 available in early 2013, doesn't say anything about a diesel option. If this is true how early in 2013 do you think we would see this 2.5 option? I have been holding off on my purchase because of this. I would have no problem sacrificing a little mpg for a but more power.

If this is the case, 189 hp that is even more reasons to wait on next years model. Anyone know how early in 2013 would you expect to see the 2014 models?
Is it worth it though? It looks like the Mazda3 lost 2/4 mpg going from 2.0 to 2.5 liters (old engines), but only gained 19 hp.
The SKYACTIV gains 34 hp, so might lose a little more, so.... maybe loses 3/5, making the CX5-2.5G around 22/26 mpg (AWD auto)?
I dunno. Love to have the power, but... it's not supposed to be a sports car lol. Decisions, decisions...

In the same boat......as much as I would love to go buy a 2013 with the 2.0 tomorrow I would definitely regret my purchase if 6 months later a 2.5 was available. The car if perfect in many ways but an extra 34hp would make it the perfect small CUV. Even to sacrifice 5 mpg it still would get better gas mileage than my current car.
While Im dissapointed that mazda went 2.5 instead of 2.3 or 2.4 (the koreans get 200hp out of their 2.4....), I think you are all going to be surprised that the 2.5 doesnt lose much MPG at all due to the engine laboring less and better gearing
(lets see if this post actually shows up.....)

Promising information, good to see a couple of extra choices for CX-5 buyers. To me, the current 2.0L engine choice is best for my usage (2.0L will continue to rate with best MPG on regular gasoline), but I have other more powerful vehicles too.
Interesting. The 2.5l will be an option. My guess is that only the touring and GT will offer it and it will tack on at least another $1.5k+ US to the price, probably will come with other mandatory options. Also guessing 22mpg with that engine.
Hope any upgrades to the info system are available free to current owners via software upgrade.

Do you think it'll be available with the Touring? With the Mazda3 and Mazda6 it seems the larger engine is only availiable with the Grand Touring...

Personal preference is a GT so for another $1.5K I would prefer to wait.
Sure, makes sense, problem is I was about to get a Touring with Tech, so it'd be maybe a $3,400 increase to go from 2.0 Touring to 2.5 Grand Touring. Ouch
