I don’t know… across all manufacturers it seems the plug-in hybrid version of a given model tends to have worse reliability than the gas-only and/or hybrid versions.
And I guess they can’t predict the reliability of a redesigned model, so all the past favorable data of the reliable CX-5 was lost. And they do sell a lot of CX-5s.
