At this stage I would just hope the Turbo trickles down to the lesser trims. Signatures are MSRPing close to $39k around here and not everyone is a fan of brown leather and wood trim. (barf)
Test drove a '19 GT-R and Signature today

Yeah, but honestly, you can get the CX-5 Signature for 35-36K and the wood so minimal you will wonder where it is. The brown leather is nice but I agree, I don't understand whey they don't give you the same options that they have in the Mazda 6. Makes no sense.

Does anyone know if Mazda realizes more profit from a loaded Signature vs a basic Sport? Or any other trim level comparisons of profit. Wondering if that would explain offering the turbo in only higher trim levels [like Subaru does/did].

I would love to see the turbo come down to the Touring. That's more my feeling on a price for a CX-5.
I mean, I paid $25k for mine. $35-36k still not very appealing.

and this is why we have aftermarket
if Mazda offered all the performance upgrades from factory ala AMG or M, I could see the aftermarket companies selling less and less of their products.

From my experience,
manufacturers and dealers seem to always make more profit from a loaded vehicle.
But with that said, it's always more of a deal to get a car that comes loaded than adding the options individually.

This is definitely something they need soon.

Yeah if I recall, the GT was the best selling trim (before they added GTR and Sig).
I agree, the guys whining about the brown leather and wood trim probably haven't even seen the car in person. The brown leather looks more black and the wood trim blends in and is hardly noticeable. You have to look twice to even see it. Maybe they should have left it off.

Well I'm stopping at the dealer this week so I'll see in person. I've just seen pics online.

Just be prepared to feel less satisfied with your car if you drive the turbo.

that would be good, but from a marketing standpoint,
trickling the turbo down to the touring trim wouldn't make the touring the affordable well packaged value that it is.
Mazda has to differentiate their premium models.
But with that said, MAYBE in the near future, who knows, the prev gen Cx-5 all had the 2.0 engines right and the whole line up was upgraded to the 2.5.

Sure... I mean faster is faster. But I can't get it in a Gen 1 package so there is less chance of me feeling less satisfied.
I've never driven a turbo before so am genuinely curious.

I mean...is there that big of a price difference between turbo and none turbo 2.5L? Didn't think there was but don't remember.

Seems like about $2k [for other brands as well]. Bet it doesn't cost them anywhere near that much to build it!

i mean i doubt it..perhaps $1,000 in real costs? (just throwing out a number)
but maybe they need to move the current 2.5 engines somehow.
and if it does cost and additional $1000 for a 2.5T engine i doubt that's the price they would have to mark it up by,
