Just taken my 2018 cx5 sport nav on it's first proper long drive, from Portsmouth to bishops stortford then home via Brighton and Basingstoke. So far I have done 399 miles on the tank, averaged 43.9 mpg (uk gallons.) Although I did see over 45 mpg average on the way there. Range suggests I have 85 miles left. Mainly drove on cruise control as I do everywhere I go, sitting at 70-75 mpg on motorway had no issues with needing to drop gears to overtake.
Very impressed, given my previous car, Kia sportage 1,7diesel only managed 48mpg on long trips. Given the bad press diesel is getting in the UK , Mazda should be marketing the he'll out there real mpg , they are consistently top in the what car real mpg tests they do.
What's your best?
