I was trying to make people more easily to decide between 2017 or 2016.5 CX-5's based on specs. But I hit wrong button ⋯ :) And thanks for the link!
 
Compare the features. None of the things in that chart would matter to me if I was buying today.
 
So gearing (at least for awd) seems identical. She gained weight as I correctly stated here about a month ago but gained 3hp- PTW from my '14 is up to 19.5 from ~19- not helpful but a huge deal. But on weight gain- I thought my earlier lighter version could've used a brake upgrade which +120lbs later I still don't see- same dia, still no vented rears:( Lost ~3/4" of ground clearance which I welcome. Raised height of cargo floor apparently to smooth out rise when seats flipped- def not a fan. Quieter, nicer interior and still a nice value but idk kind of a mixed bag for me (on paper obviously.) Oh- what's up with peak tq happening @4000 vs 3250 for AWD now..anyone know? Need to see the new curve but that could be bad. I'm actually looking forward to driving the 16.5 and 17 back to back. I think a 16.5 on red tag special could still be a very nice option even though its the "old" one...

I hear ya. I'm not a big fan of the all blank interior. That may change if they red accents used in the 6 or cx-9 do not get carried into the new cx-5.

Like I predicted, no Parchment with Sonic Silver. I wish Mazda can add gray interior like everybody else matching silver/gray exterior much better! Many people in hot southern states really hate all-black interior like shaendra said.

What's also annoying is Mazda does offer parchment with silver in the Mazda6. Blah.
 
So is the touring preferred package seriously $780? Did they really botch this in the official press kit?

Why would you think that is a wrong price?

For 2016.5 CX-5 Touring,

Moonroof/Bose Package (Power sliding-glass moonroof、Bose Centerpoint Surround Sound System with AudioPilot、9 Speakers) is $1,130.

Touring Technology Package (Auto On/Off LED Headlights、LED Foglights、LED Rear Combination Lights、LED Daytime Running Lights、Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) w/Auto Leveling、Rain-Sensing Wipers、Smart City Brake Support、Auto Dim Mirror w/Homelink) is $1,275.

According to press kit for 2017 CX-5 Touring,

Touring Preferred Equipment Package (Auto-dimming Rearview Mirror with HomeLink、Automatic On/off Headlights、Rain-sensing Variable-intermittent Windshield Wipers、Bose 10-Speaker Audio Sound System with Centerpoint and AudioPilot Mazda Navigation System、Power Sliding-glass Moonroof with One-touch Open Feature and Interior Sunshade、Power Rear Liftgate) is $780.

Touring i-ActivSense Package (High Beam Control、Lane Departure Warning with Lane-keep Assist、Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop and Go、Smart Brake Support、Auto-dimming Rearview Mirror with HomeLink、Automatic On/off Headlights、Rain-sensing Variable-intermittent Windshield Wipers) is $625.

Grand Touring Premium Package (2-position Memory Drivers Seat、6-way Power Adjustable Passenger Seat、Active Driving Display with Traffic Sign Recognition、Heated Rear Seats、Heated Steering Wheel、Windshield Wiper De-icer) is $1,830.

The sales manager of my Mazda dealer checked his computer and told me the MSRP for Touring Preferred Equipment Package is $1,535 and Touring i-ActivSense Package is $945. Grand Touring Premium Package is $1,835.

$780 for Touring Preferred Equipment Package and $625 for Touring i-ActivSense Package are too good to be true. And you can only select one package out of the two. You can't have both! I guess we'll find out for sure around tax day! :)
 
Somewhere, I read you can get both option packages on the 2017 Touring. Just not sure where I saw it. So there could be a few booboos out there. But if that option pricing is wrong, they should fix that asap.
 
If I was choosing based on these specs, I would go with the 2016.5. Slightly better gas, more ground clearance, more room in 2nd row, hits max hp and torq at lower numbers.

+1

But... the specs don't tell half the story here.
They don't tell you how much quieter the 2017 is.. and fuel economy for most will be the same.

I bet the AWD makes like 184lb-ft@ 3250 vs 185@ 3250 and they both make 185lb-ft at 4000.
I also bet they both still make 184HP@5700RPM.. but instead of falling off after that they continue making more power untill the new peak of 187@6000.

Doesn't the AWD use a different exhaust pipe than the FWD to get around the AWD system? maybe that's why there is a marginal loss in low end torque?
