red looks absolutely gorgeous at night...
heads up display now an option for the CX-5, interior is starting to grow on me just my 2 cents,
there's a button for steering wheel heater
that white interior looks really nice but very hard to keep it that clean, looks luxurious, looks like a smaller veriosn of new CX-9
a pair of LED array bars next to each side of the fog lights would complete the look I think
USA front side markers won't look as nice though, outdated regulations requires mandatory amber light/reflectors

New guy here. (canada)
Joined this community since I heard they will be coming out with a new CX-5. Loved the look of the new CX-3 which was just too small but now the same great looks have grown, lucky me. (eekdance)
The next huge interest for me is the hopefully available diesel. Went to the local Mazda dealer and spoke with the manager who confirmed it will be coming but warned me they will get very few. Delivery is expected around October at best.
I found this article which may be of interest to some regarding the diesel however this is in a 2016. May have some tweaks for our market but I can confirm my dealership said there is no urea injection on this engine as well as this article saying the same. They got 40mpg out of this engine in combined driving with an AWD version of the CX5 so it sounds very efficient. Love the dual turbo charger (low rpm, high rpm) which should eliminate any lag normally found on turbo engines.

I can tell you that the pulling power of the diesel is astonishing but over here in the UK, we are going through a state of panic because the tree huggers are claiming the diesel to be harmful to health. They even charge more to park a diesel car in some cases and some European countries are contemplating banning them.
I will definitely move to the new CX-5 when mine is a bit older but ONLY if the petrol (gasoline) engine is available.

As you may very well know we have very few diesels on the other side of the pond. Here they know about the diesel pollution health issue and this is why VW got into so much trouble trying to satisfy the next to impossible requirements of diesels. Somehow, Mazda seems to have been able to do it so technically theirs is clean so to say.

Diesel
Yes, it's been confirmed by Mazda that the diesel for US market will have urea injection and it's the only way Mazda's SkyActiv-D 2.2L diesel can meet US diesel emission standard. Midnightsun's link is for Malaysia which has different emission standard.
I believe that like a Diesel engine, an HCCI engine will have high max torque and limited RPM range. Unlike a Diesel, it will use regular gasoline and will have less of its torque down low and will not be producing soot nor Nox. Of course, controlling this type of engine is the hard part, so it is quite possible Mazda will be pushing the envelope.
I wonder at what price point will they be able to provide this engine, perhaps lower than their Diesel (no DPF, Urea after treatment, but turbo charger + very high compression).

Mazda SkyActiv-D 2.2L Diesel
Most diesel engines including Mazda SkyActiv-D 2.2L diesel do have a turbo charger.

I realize this however this one is different as there are 2 of them. One handles lower rpm and the other higher rpm. Read the review I posted as it explains it.

Sales people tend to say anything but I put a little more faith in this since this was the manager. They even said they test drove the diesel in a Mazda 6 in North America not too long ago. This is where they were told it will not have urea injection but then again this could very well change or may not even be true.
Quite possible the diesel they drove didn't have it. There were plans to bring a diesel 6 over but they were scrapped for the reason that it had unacceptable performance at the point it met emissions. I seriously doubt that it won't have urea - it's why VW resorted to illegal measures, to save a little money per vehicle by not having the equipment.

Mazda SkyActiv-D 2.2L Diesel
Yes, for Mazda's SkyActiv-D diesel there're two turbo chargers.

One more thing that may be of interest was the low price Mazda was going to offer for the diesel option. He claimed they will go for "only" $3200 more than the gasoline version whereas the normal cost difference is about $1000 more from other brands. Keep in mind I am talking Canadian $ and pricing in Canada.
Well, you never know about pricing as makers vary content by market. Sure the diesel "may" be 3200$ more, but that could be because they intend to only have it available with AWD, or only on the GT version, thus making the diesel more expensive because of what you are forced to have it packaged with.
I'm more concerned with a previous poster's mention of it coming with a DPF. I'm not a fan of these for my application as I'm looking for performance and fuel savings but I don't do the frequent highway driving that these filters seem to need to work effectively while avoiding premature failure.
Just sayin'

What basis do you have for this supposed reliability concern?
