It should open in a new window, but you should see it. Offhand it sounds like the image may be corrupted. Try again with a new image?

Yep, youre right! 2018 CX-5 has eliminated constant Distance to Empty display just above the fuel gauge! I definitely like the way of 2017s with constant Distance to Empty display just above the fuel gauge; and a much nicer compass! Another reason to get 2017 over 2018 CX-5 in addition to cylinder deactivation!

Yep, you’re right! 2018 CX-5 has eliminated constant “Distance to Empty” display just above the fuel gauge!

Nope. Same as shadonoz here, only a "Attachment 218559" link shown and then "invalid attachment" after clicking on it.

I have a '17 CX-5. Here is my display. The miles to empty are at the bottom and the average trip mileage is in the center.View attachment 218557
There is also a little blue tick mark in the graph at the top to show your average.

Thats the only screen to show Distance to Empty. You have to move away from other info to see it. I think it should be displayed constantly like 2017 serving as a secondary low-fuel warning. Thiss what the OP wants but unfortunately his 2018 CX-5 simply cant do it.

Wow. I'm completely perplexed as to why Mazda would eliminate the DTE in the fuel display. The only thing I can imagine is that people were confused with so much information in front of them. Now, for 18, you have to scroll through displays to see DTE. Strange.
Not ever having had this feature before, I knew that getting close to the "E" and the inevitable low fuel symbol meant I had about 50 KM (30 miles) to go for my Honda Element based on the mileage I was getting and what I read in the manual.

I'd like engine temp to be always visible, too, but it's not. Maybe Mazda does think it's info overload. OP wanted to know if MTE could be visible on Trip A or B for the 18, and we discovered that's it's not. But is is available elsewhere. Like it or lump it.
The alternative, and what I always did before instruments with MTE displays, is to reset trip B when refilling. That way you can easily check fuel consumption for that tank. And if you know your average range, simple subtraction yields the MTE answer, more or less. I bet many of us here do that.
I personally don't care about MTE, cause I try to fill up around 1/4, anyway.
