Hello. Does anybody have an issue with softer brakes on the 2022 CX-5. I have owned other cars where the brakes were more responsive. Otherwise, I love this car. Should I be concerned about the brakes. I push down the brakes on the CX-5 a little more than I think is usual. My 3-year warranty expires soon, and I wonder if I should have the brakes checked or anything else? Thank you.

I have a 2021 and, personally, I find the brakes to be fine. Each manufacturer will have different pedal feel. Try driving a 1966 Buick Riviera where the brake pedal is like an on/off switch.
Was it always like that or is it a new feeling? Were the brakes ever checked or replaced? What about brake fluid? I noticed after I changed the brake fluid the brakes felt much tighter.
You should have all four brakes checked and see what shape the pads are in.
Brakes are normal wear items and should be checked at every service.

How many miles do you have on it? Have you checked the Fluid level? Have the Brake Pads & Rotors been inspected?
Thank you for your feedback! I have about 27,000 miles on the car. For sure will check the brake fluid and have the brakes inspected.
Thank you for the info! I bought the car about 3 months ago and the brakes still seem kind of soft. Checking and maybe changing the brake fluid is a very good idea.
Thank you for your reply. I do think every car is different for the brake feel. Thanks for your feedback.

A little air in the lines might make the pedal soft. Bleeding the brakes will help.
Thank you so much for the info. Will try that as well.
I noticed this during a test drive of 2022 CX-5 also. This has been often noticed on new car reviews I've watched on Youtube also. They usually chalk it up to "linear" feel, etc, etc.
Ended up going with CX-9 and the brakes in that felt more firm/less mush. I always wondered if it was a manufacturing thing with these later year models, or more likely it's just the way they are.

I think they are kind of soft also...
