A member of the Australian CX-5 forum on Facebook posted the following:
"From the Mazda sales manager in response to my questions confirming an October update incl the 2.5 turbo
...
It will be a certain update model which arrive in Australia in November as discussed. I haven't had those updates confirmed but it is possible that it could have those options you have mentioned. Generally they will give us a full specifications update the month before they arrive. You will be able to get it in a turbo 2.5 litre turbo. Unsure on price difference at this stage but we are expecting it will cost more."
So it appears Oz land will be getting another update sooner rather than later
The poster is going for current KG model 2.2 Diesel
Really have no interest in the 2.5T as I know the extra power and torque is not really worth the worse fuel economy it will have. Case in point 2.5T Mazda 6 has worse fuel economy that 2.5 NA Mazda 6 & 2.2D Mazda 6.
For context, current Sydney fuel prices:
94RON (E10 ethanol unleaded) = 144.2 cents per litre
91RON (regular unleaded) = 147.9 cents per litre
95RON (premium unleaded) = 160.4 cents per litre
98RON (premium unleaded) = 167.0 cents per litre
