Can our CX-5 do this?

That's an interesting capability, but I personally prefer to stick with more established brands when it comes to significant purchases like an SUV! For everyday driving, the CX-5 is a pretty capable SUV.

We as the CX-5 AWD owner need to be careful NOT to drive through flooded water on the road ⋯

A new rear differential (AWD) and labor. Because apparently going down the drive-way when water is flowing across it will flood your diff. I forgot I was in a car and not my Jeep, basically, and figured if the water didn't come up to the door sills, it was safe. You know, live I've done with my Mustang GT, Trans Am, and a P71 interceptor. But no. That was NOT the case, and it ruined the diff. The Mazda dealer begrudgingly covered it, and forever earned my loyalty as far as I can extend it to them and be financially competent.


*I paid $2K for what amounts to a bumper to bumper 6/100 warranty through my CU, and rolled it into the note. I'm glad I did! Noone really knows how these things hold up 80-100K miles, TBH, as the sample size hitting that is still pretty small, so I figured it was smart money. If a rear diff is $26XX including labor, I'm inclined to be happy I did!

Tell that to my wife. She drove her Maxima through about 2 ft of water and bricked the engine.
She now has a CX-5 and hopefully learned her lesson.

That's true of most vehicles. Diffs aren't expected to go boating!

This is why we traded in our CX-5 for a Model Y. LOL

Wow, that's intense! It's incredible to see the Model Y handle such deep flooding with no issues. No wonder these EVs are becoming more popular, they offer an experience you just can't get in a regular ICE vehicle.

I don't understand why people take the risk of damaging their car beyond repair.

I had an "opportunity" to drive through water up to my headlights twice in one day. Had to, had some terrific flooding a few years back after a day of 4 inches of rain and every way home was flooded. Didn't check the rear fluid until some years later (like last year). Luckily there was no contamination. Not something I would advise.
