No. What I meant was your figures are for older KF. Mine was updated KG and it's quicker.

Hello 2.5T with more power but worse mpg (uhm)

ROFL!!!
So it's...slower than my 2.5 gasburner, the fuel costs 30-50 cents more per gallon, and it will give me a RATED 3mpg over what my AVERAGE ACTUAL mpg is, and a rated 3-4mpg over my ACTUAL highway/road-trip observations. Oh, and I'd have to trade my vehicle in to get one. I bet it also lacks Android Auto and proper satellite radio.
...but by god, if I am wanting a tiny SUV to tow a horse trailer with...mah gawd I dun found the wun, Margrut!!!!
If it came with a stick, it would still exactly fit my needs. Disappointing 'official' MPG's withstanding.
And diesel's usually 10-15 cents/liter cheaper here on the left coast of Canada.
Nobody's twisting YOUR arm to buy one.

Somehow, doubting the stick will happen, but here's hoping for you that it does.
Here's the only data point of concern for you right now Mr Sport Hybrid Rav4 complete with CVT for your pleasure:

Oh so am I!
That's why I have a deposit on a silver 2018 Mazda 3 Sport GT with a manual that I should be picking up on Thursday!
Less room than I would have preferred but I got a smoking deal I couldn't refuse that kept me from switching teams to the VW Golf Sportwagen (more room and AWD with a manual) we were leaning to.
The 3 Came in ~$7000 less after taxes....heck of a lot to pay for slightly bigger trunk (and AWD).
Either way, no narcolepsy shifter only CX5 in my immediate future unfortunately. Would have loved one if I could get one properly equipped.
Maybe Mazda will bring the 6 wagon back with a shifter (even in 'Outbacked' form) in time for my next car purchase and save me having to dick around.
Picking's getting slim out here for enthusiasts with a wife, kids and a dog.
Our 2018 2.2D is 1751kg kerb weight

Nice, congrats!!!
Quitter..jk jr 3gt is a sweet lil ride for sure and sounds like you scored a nice deal too! Happy you didn't give $ to VW (I know the gsw has appeal) but...well done!
Danke
Yeah, got ~$2500 off sticker with all the rebates and haggling + 0% for 60.
Sure would have liked the added cargo space (and keep AWD) though.... But the 3's a darn nice ride too. Just wish it was bigger.

Region makes all the difference, but we arent getting a manual diesel cx5 here in Murica. That would be nice.

Oh, so the diesel cx5 is on a dealer lot somewhere CONUS for sale? That's the datapoint you need to worry about.
Only Europe and parts of Asia to name a few get the manual diesel. We don't get it either.
