If you test-drove in cold weather (<20F ?), youll have some detuning designed by Mazda (dont know why) on CX-5 2.5T as observed by many:
Winter is here...and my cx5 turbo is now a 2.0!
Ive never heard any car manufactures detuned a new vehicle during break-in period. Or they wont put series of warnings during break-in period in owners manual for new owners.
Personally Ive test-driven both CX-5 2.5 T and 2.5L back-to-back and I was not impressed the extra power from the 2.5T. Even the GM of my Mazda dealer who is driving a 2019 CX-5 Signature told me in advance that dont expect too much on power from 2.5T based on his personal experience. And I can attest to his statement after the test-drive.
I can attest to very noticeable difference in power between the turbo and non on my test drives.
