I had the opportunity to rent a CX-90 Turbo Premium for 1 week and drove it over 400 miles in all sorts of different conditions, roads, weather and speeds. Here’s my review of the vehicle coming from a current 2019 CX-9 Grand Touring owner (had it since new and mostly love it despite a few...

For those that have taken advantage of the December CX-5 incentive for 0% down for 60 months, was there a loan origination fee or any other surprise fee tacked on? If so, how much?

Can anyone provide an update on the durability of the CX-5 exterior gloss black trim on the front bumper, wheel arches, side skirt and rear bumper? Are you finding that they scratch super easy? It looks like jofo67 is pleasantly surprised, but I'm curious to hear if other owners of trims with...

Without driving impressions, it's not a review. What we've seen so far are just 'first impressions' of the exterior styling and interior. Excited to hear and see the reviews on Monday!

Will a 360 camera/surround view be available as part of a package on the lower trims?

Frames taken from the latest unboxing video. The deep red looks very nice!

I put these same tires on my ‘09 CX-9 and they're great. Big improvement over stock.

US dealerships have begun to receive 2022 CX-5's, including Capistrano Mazda (Southern California). Salesman there have posted some videos of the various trims on their YouTube channel: Select Carbon Premium Premium Plus Someone needs to go test drive a 2022 and report back on the seats and...

If you end up choosing the CX-50 out of those options, I recommend getting the turbo. I’ve had a naturally aspirated CX-5 and a CX-9 (Turbo) and it’s a night and day difference in terms of power around town and throttle response from a stop. Having the turbo really changes the dynamic of the...

With the CX-50 being manufactured in Alabama, does anyone have concerns about the build quality of this new model compared to the Japanese assembled vehicles?

Now that the 2022 CX-5’s will soon be arriving at dealerships, does anyone have photos and sizing of the new wheels for the various trims for the new model year?

Thanks for posting this pic! It looks like there might be 3 different trims here based on the rims and use of chrome accents. Blue could be a Signature, white a Grand Touring, and red a Touring or Sport.

Does anyone have information on the length and height of the CX-50 compared to the CX-5 and CX-9? I’ve heard that the CX-50 and CX-5 are about the same length, but the photos I’ve seen make the new model look much longer.

Following-up here to update you all on my tire situation on the CX-9 (2019 Grand Touring on 20" wheels). The stock Bridgestone Ecopia H/L 422 Plus lasted about 28K miles and I needed a set of all-season tires that would do decently well in the snow, but was looking to retain good driving...

Wasn't sure how Mazda was going to pull off a 'rugged' design style, but they did a really nice job! This is like a mini 'Defender' Mazda style! Very curious to learn about the dimensions, both exterior and interior, when they're released.
