Also, the manufacturers markup their product to absorb that $7,500. Case in point, RAV4 Prime. I was first on the list for one of those until I saw the $50k price tag for a well equipped model. Hence the 2020 Signature in my garage.

If you’re right, then the CX-70 could be a little beefy. I’m anxious to see what the November reveal brings.

Yep, short of a V-12.

The CX-50 is sharing platforms with the 3 and CX-30 though. This looks substantially larger than what that platform could handle.

Are we actually looking at the CX-70 in these photos? https://tflcar.com/2021/05/next-gen-mazda-cx-5-cx-50-spotted-news/amp/

I’m hoping the CX-70 isn’t too big. I was looking forward to a bargain X3 M40i from Mazda.

What part of the country do you live in?

How did you reinstall the plastic shroud covering the harness on the intercooler?

Good stuff! I wasn’t looking forward to removing the bumper cover. My JB4 showed up today. We’ll see how the week goes, but I should have it installed no later than Saturday. I’ll definitely snap some pics.

Nice! That’s the first time slip I’ve ever seen for a CX-5. What was in the left lane? Have you seen/ordered the JB4 tuner for the 2.5t from Burger Motorsports?

They can call it whatever they like as long as it has a straight six with a turbo under the hood and RWD bias. 😁

You’ll also want to check with independent insurance agents. They have a lot more options available and can usually find a substantially better price than the big companies.

I just ordered it on Sunday. Hopefully it arrives in August as they predicted. I’ll definitely do a write-up on it. I should get some sort of device for measuring performance so I can post quantitative results.

I’ll find out in January and report back.

JB4’s are now available to pre-order on the Burger Tuning website. Shipping in early August.

On really hot days I’ll spin the AC compressor faster by running the engine at higher RPMs via manual mode or selecting “sport”. After a few minutes it’s usually blowing cold enough to switch back to a regular driving mode. For reference, I live in an area that regularly hits 90’s and has very...

Absolutely! Reads like a bargain BMW X3 M40i. Although, in that engine’s current configuration I’m a little confused by the plumbing running across the top of the valve cover. Maybe it’s a turbo sans intercooler plumbing in that photo? Maybe an air-to-water intercooler hiding on the passenger side?

Everything else aside, I wouldn’t be a CX-5 owner if it wasn’t for the turbo motor.

Resale value has been terrible, too. Recent transactions excluded.
