What is your CX-5 “Must have”?

[raikobg]

Yup.

My 2016.5 CX-5 GT has heated seats, heated side mirrors. During more-humid months, we get our fair share of morning dew over everything, including on the glass. It's nice to have the added heat that helps get rid of the excess.

While I don't view it as an absolute must-have, it sure is nice.

Where do you turn on the heated mirrors from ?

They come on automatically when you turn on the rear defroster - which is also generally good to have on when you have windows fogging over on the outside as you drive.

It's been so long since I had a vehicle that didn't have heated mirrors that I just took them as a given standard feature. But yeah... they're an absolute requirement, not just for cold weather. Anybody who lives in an area that's subject to mornings where the dew re-forms on surfaces in seconds will benefit from heated mirrors.

I know what you mean...I've had them for nearly 30 years

I have just found out I have heating on the side mirrors Thanks !
Is that something coming as extra on specific trim levels ? Or it is jist a regular button on all models ....

Is that an option on the Turbo Premium or only on the Signature? I'm not aware that I have that, but I have almost every option except for the 360 camera.

Probably… I wouldn’t guarantee it’s on every trim level, but for sure it’s on most of them.

You have them. I’d guarantee it.

10 way power driver seat with memory is also a nice feature. I only have 6 way power on my CX-5 plus manual lumbar support but I've had 10 way on a couple of vehicles before. Nice for long rides when you need thigh support.

Lumbal support could have been better, I admit.

I don't know about the rest of the world, but in the U.S. it's on specific trims and in Canada it's on all trims. Same for heated seats. Makes sense for northern climates.

There is a news article that the EPA is relaxing emissions. Which to me means, Can we now have the CX-60 SkyActive-D Mild-Hybrid in the US?

Tariffs complicate that situation, but it's also made narrower for Euro streets.

They really should have just made the 5 in the image of the CX-70. Baffles me why they didn't.

I'm glad they didn't! The 70/90's are just butt ugly.

Not uglier than the 2026 CX-5.
