    Confusion on installing JBL Basspro hub in 2025 CX-5 w/Bose

    To be fair, it is a sub. Most OEM systems don't use premium materials and amps in their systems.

    Confusion on installing JBL Basspro hub in 2025 CX-5 w/Bose

    I recommend the sound dampening be done to your Bose sub before you buy a replacement. I thought it made the sound much tighter. https://mazdas247.com/forum/t/2nd-generation-cx-9-bose-subwoofer-improvement.123869524/

    Official 2026 Mazda CX-5 Pics and Details Released

    Well, adding 200lbs to the car without increasing the power is a good way to slow it down.... Have any of the usual testers done a real 0-60 time? I don't see an official test result from C&D, MT, or R&T. I am expecting it to be mid to high 8's with the extra weight. The video above said the...

    Exactly. Everything I have seen talks about less soft touch materials which is a step down. The steering wheel also looks "cheap" to me. Not as upmarket as the last one.

    Just did a quick Google and this was the answer: "The 2.5L engine in the Mazda CX-90 PHEV is not an "all-new" engine design, but rather an updated version of Mazda's existing naturally aspirated 2.5L 4-cylinder Skyactiv-G engine. It is heavily modified for plug-in hybrid duty, paired with a 68...

    The 2.5L used in the CX90 hybrid is unrelated to the 2.5 used in the CX5 for over a decade?

    I was thinking it made no sense the hybrid CX5 wasn't ready at launch as they already have a 2.5L hybrid for the CX60/70/90 with 323hp and 369 ft/lbs and an 8sp automatic. Of course, this is a RWD platform, but surely Mazda can adapt it to work with FWD.

    I guess time will tell. I read good and bad experiences with Kia and Mazda all the time so it isn't isolated to Kia. I am at 3500 miles and going in for my first oil change today (along with a software recall update for the emission system). I don't plan on adding any aftermarket stuff...

    Can you elaborate? I would love to know what to look out for on my 25.

    2026 Mazda CX-5: Who’s actually getting one?

    The CX-9 isn't in production anymore, is it? They have three different engines in the CX-50 so it isn't unusual. I personally think they should have either waited to release the new CX-5 until the hybrid was ready or continue the turbo until the hybrid was released.

    Interesting. Maybe on lower end models, but the Telluride has very solid doors. Easily equal if not better than the '21 I CX-5 I had.

    Battery drain due to ventilated seats (2019-2022 CX-5)

    They show a "Used- Like New" unit available for $70 so you still get a deal....

    3 years, 42,000 miles and no dealer visits

    Toyota was involved in the 1st gen CX-9? I thought it was a Ford/Mazda only. In a quick look online (wikipedia), I see nothing mentioning Toyota involvement.

    I don't think the same would be said for Kia/Hyundai.... Lots of niceties for the money.

    Others I might suggest, if you like hybrids, are the Kia/Hyundai twins Sportage/Tuscon in the hybrid trims. They come close to the power of the CX-5 2.5T and provide better economy at the same time.

    Yep, the previous gen Outback had a giant tablet like the new CX-5. They realized it wasn't a great idea and went back to a smaller screen with physical controls. I am shocked and dismayed Mazda decided to go all in on the huge screen with almost no physical controls. Opposite of what they...

    An unwise move IMHO. Sure, offer an electric variant if you like, but at least offer a hybrid (which is what Toyota does best).

    Huge mistake if that is how it is (having to go into the touchscreen to disable every time you drive).

    It's pretty lame there are no upgraded versions available at launch. I think they should have waited to release until a new powertrain was available. An extra 150 lbs with no increase in power? Nope....
