    Mazda teasing all new 2026 CX-5!

    If they used the PHEV drivetrain from the CX-90, they would massively exceed the 2.5T motor. I don't understand why they wouldn't offer this at launch. It is going to use the current 187hp motor and 6-sp as the sole powertrain at the start? Huge mistake IMHO. Where is the new Z motor and...

    2018 CX-5 Paint issues with Rear Spoiler

    That looks like the clear coat failed. Has the car been outdoors or garaged? I would think that part could be removed and repainted pretty reasonably.

    Mazda teasing all new 2026 CX-5!

    If they build the US market CX-5 here, rather than in Japan, it will make me think again about buying one. Much prefer my Japanese cars to be built in Japan. I made an exception with my 20 Frontier, but it's a pretty basic vehicle...

    Mazda teasing all new 2026 CX-5!

    The wording you can see in the link is interesting. "the redesigned 2024 Mazda CX-5" How is it any different from the 22 and 23 models in design?

    Mazda teasing all new 2026 CX-5!

    Totally agree with the ridiculous progression of electronics in todays cars. I will say Mazda still makes a mostly black interior in its current cars. Here is a CX-90 in black... Still looks very similar to the CX-5. My hope is the new CX-5 doesn't have the full touchscreen controls as has...

    Mazda teasing all new 2026 CX-5!

    But Mazda never did tune it well (256hp out of a 2.5l turbo isn't very impressive - most other makes use a 2.0l Turbo and make more hp than Mazda). Most folks don't want to mess with aftermarket tuning as it's quite finicky. It will be sad to see the turbo cancelled, but I get it as the MPG is...

    2026 CX-5 revealed in the land down under?

    We will know exactly what it looks like in 8 days. No need to try and figure it out ahead of time. It isn't like we can buy one next month....

    Mazda Service

    My dealer did the same thing at 30k. Recommended the exact same things at the same prices. I had just changed my filters so that was particularly annoying. They have definitely become worse over time. I will be doing my own work when the warranty expires. I declined everything other than the...

    2017~2025 CX-5 Rear Liftgate Rattle

    Mine has an intermittent rattle which definitely sounds like it's from inside the tailgate. I have never investigated it as it is not constant at all.

    What's next for the CX-5?

    Agreed. It had looked like Mazda was working on headroom and increasing the cargo by flattening out the roofline. Hopefully this photo is a fake...

    If that is real, I don't care for the lower section jutting out. Cheap looking to me...

    2017~2025 Anybody use a washable CX-5 CAF?

    You drive a lot! My 21 has 33k miles.

    2017~2025 Anybody use a washable CX-5 CAF?

    You change your engine air filter every 3-4 mths? How many miles are you driving in that time? I do mine every 15k. Cabin filter? That is yearly as they are so cheap.

    Difference between 2021 CX-5 Turbo and 2025 CX-5 Turbo?

    The turbo has the CX-9 front brakes, which are larger diameter- 12.6" vs 11.7" than the standard CX-5 brakes, but that has been the same since the turbo was released in '19. I can't believe you have driven 76k without any brake work! That is amazing. I had my rear brakes worked on recently...

    2017~2025 Anybody use a washable CX-5 CAF?

    As said above, you can buy the standard filters on Amazon for about $5-6 each. Why not just get a new filter every year rather than going through the washing/drying of the K&N? If you do a filter every 12k/12mths that would be 6yrs of filters to buy the K&N.

    Difference between 2021 CX-5 Turbo and 2025 CX-5 Turbo?

    Interesting about the brakes as they are exactly the same on a 19 and 25 unless they have changed the pads used. How many miles are on your 19? Have the rotors/pads been replaced? With my '19, which was a non turbo GT, I had no issues with the brakes over 20k miles. On my '21 Turbo with the...

    Blower motor rattles. Worth a trip to the dealer?

    Both videos seem to indicate that the motor is faulty to me. I suspect you will be posting that the dealer replaced it free of charge.
