AFAIK, US models don't have SCBS-R, which is based on ultrasound parking sensors. Models in other countries like Australia have it for years. We, in USA, probably have lawyers to thank for that.

About the new in-house hybrid, here is some useful info from Best Car Japan website. Translate the entire page if you prefer English. https://bestcarweb.jp/newcar/1092947

Current CX-5 Turbo + 8-speed ZF => good enough for me. ;)

Best way to be sure is to check by VIN.

I have a '22 Turbo CX5. Have not got the thermostat recall letter, either.

People said that when CX-50 came out in Jan/2022 as a 2023 model. Two yrs later, CX5 is still dominating Mazda lineup. Sales of CX-50 is about 60% of CX5. One is not replacing the other....

Could just be the transmission logics. Your '21 already learned your driving preferences. The new '25 is still under factory setting, and not broken-in. It will get better. I mostly buy vehicles new and keep them for 7-8 yrs. From my experiences, vehicles are at their happiest state at around...

To confirm. I did not receive such letter for my '22 Turbo. Seems to be N/A only (which has CD).

My two cents here: My view on any sort of insurances and warranties is: When the worst happens, can you withstand the hit w/o incurring much pain financially? If yes, no insurance or warranty is needed. If no, please do it as a safety net for you and your love ones. The threshold differs from...

When I owned my '08 CX9 (Mazda borrowed the engine/chassis from Ford Edge), owners ran into wheel bearing failure (not on mine, though through my 8 yrs of ownership). Mazda claimed that, dirt went into the bearing and caused them to fail prematurely ... newer parts had better protection again...

Prevent fob battery drain: Where I place my fobs is not that far from my garage. I obviously have no data to show that this matters. Feel free to question it. I know how PKE (Passive Keyless Entry) works. ;) Relay Theft: With my fob in a Faraday box near the door, I cannot even open the door...

Indeed. They are too small to make big difference. I have them on my '17 CX5 (installed DIY), and decided to skip them for my '22. Personal opinion, of course.

I just replaced the driver side one of my '17 CX5. It has been 7 yrs. The passenger side one still works. Note: battery is 2320, not 2032 ... the latter is more common. I had to buy 2320s from Amazon. Very easy to replace in 1 min.

I don't think this is a common problem w/ CX-5. Maybe at some point, bad fuel got into the system. Do you run it low often before refill? Maybe time to check/replace fuel filter also at 188k kms.

Maybe go to another Mazda dealer if not too far away. In general, dealers don't like to debug rattles or noises.... not very cost effective to them.

If you drop the transmission pan (drain-n-refill proces), only half of the fluid will come out. The other half is locked up in torque converter.

Maybe have someone rev the engine and you can try to pin point source of noise under the hood. What I hear is mechanical friction... Could also be heat shield again a moving part. I would start by locating source of noise along the belt.

Save mode is great for the backup fobs. I was talking about my frequently used fobs. A bit extreme to put it into save mode everyday, IMHO.

Every CEL comes with a code. Just need to get it out somehow.

The difference between 2032 and 2025 is the thickness. 20 (first 2 digits): diameter = 20mm = 2cm 32 (last 2 digits): 3.2 mm 25 (last 2 digits): 2.5 mm. If you can fit in a 2032 w/o breaking it... it will last longer... Same voltage = 3V.
