2016 CX5 Crappy Navi GONE replaced with new 7" screen

[EddieFord33]

My oldest son works in the car industry and was in the Detroit area. He said in the back was a 2016 CX5. He said it looks like an Infinity and the inside is much more expensive looking and the crappy a$$ Navi is replace with a nice 7" one.

The lights are LED and so are the tails. The grille is awesome he said, looks a million more times better than the current.

I should of waited....cause I frickn hate this crappy radio. I think you could add the grille but the heads and tails will come as a premium.

My Nexus 7 2nd gen is getting no love since I purchased the LG G3. Maybe I should epoxy it right over top of the NB1 ��. Then hide the cable to the AUX port. Better maps, apps, screen resolution than anything out there.

If it looks like a CX-3 then the grill is a huge step forwards, but I believe the 7" nav is still tom tom?

I agree I should have bought mine next year, the upcoming model is far better.

Also a promise of a more powerful petrol engine.

I've had a couple non-car people think my CX-5 was a mini FX.

I think the new grille is super looking, much more intune to a newer look. the old one look like something out of the 80s.

I'm ok with the grille. Just a Q50 grille with less chrome. My only complaint is it is a little harder to wash but with winter settling in that will not matter again until spring.

I should've waited as well. Much improved, and now it seems like a more complete vehicle. Argh

True.
I'm glad the CX is the wife's vehicle and I don't drive it much.

Yay! Too bad I'll have to take a bath financially if I want to upgrade from my 2013. I wouldn't do it for the infotainment system, rather the improved suspension, interior noise and selectable transmission modes are what interest me the most. I think the new interior looks way better.

Hey, my son took a ride in it and he said, so different than my 2015. it is creepy silent and zoom zoomed...

I SHOULD HAVE WAITED ...ARGGGGGG.ARG.....

Personally... As much as the new features and styling adjustements seem interesting,
the only reason I would trade would be for a more powerful engine...
If they eventually make the rumored mazdaspeed 3 (supposedly with a turbocharged 2.5 skyactiv), and by any chance put this engine in a Cx5 (this engine is also rumored to be in the next Cx9), Then, I would make the switch.

Right now it just seems to be more show than go.

Same here a more powerful diesel with more torque.

The competition have surpassed the CX-5 now in the UK.

I see a lot of complaints even with the new infotainment system used in the Mazda 3. Examples: Ipod/iPhone issues and lockups. Hopefully these are all resolved by the time the '16 CX-5 ships.
