Speculate about what options will be added for '17.
What's in store for the '17 CX-5?

I would have liked having the memory seat in my CX. It is a feature that I miss as my other cars have it.
Really interested to see what's up for the 2017. Will be buying the end of summer/this Fall unless I hear something about the 17. Actually fiancee and I both will been picking up cx5s. Any possibility of hearing news about it by then? I know it's tough cause the 16 came out early.

If Mazda doesn't intend on resurrecting the CX-7, the CX-5 needs to grow a tad. Otherwise, the Mazda 3, CX-5 and CX-3 are all too close in proportion.
I don't know if 17 model year calls for a new cycle. Just saying...when that time arrives, that'd be a welcome change.

Doesn't make sense to change too much from the 2016. It's still at or near the top of comparisons, etc. Memory/power passenger seats, paddle shifters, that's about it. Any other change would be too drastic. If they wanted to do it for the 2017, it'd already be in the 2016. I foresee 2017 and maybe 2018 being the same, then brand new model for 2019.
CX-3:
Wheelbase: 101.2 in
Length: 168.3 in
Width: 69.6 in
Height: 60.7 in
Curb weight: ~2800 lb
CX-5:
Wheelbase: 106.3 in
Length: 179.3 in
Width: 72.4 in
Height: 65.7 in
Passenger volume: 102 cu ft
Cargo volume: 34 cu ft
Curb weight: 3564 lb (2.5L GT AWD)
The CX-5 is 11 inches longer than the CX-3. It does not need to get any bigger. In fact, it could do better in losing some weight.

I'm on board with that. I would deal with another 100# of pork, if it were in the form of some foam and dynamat.
If they do I hope they make it upgradable for the 2016's

I was anticipating this senseless response.
Exterior dimensions mean nothing. The SHO/Taurus is gargantuan on its exterior, but is literally just short of cramped on its interior. Offers quite a bit of volume in the trunk, but has a small opening, making it mostly useless.
I own both a 15 MZ3 hatch and a 13 CX-5. While the CX-5 obviously offers more rear cargo area, they're very similar in their passenger space offerings, namely in the rear.
The CX-5 can easily be outgrown, if one needed to utilize two infant carriers simultaneously, as the only optimal position on the rear seat is in the center.
The CX-9 is, and presumably will remain a family hauler. But, there is no in-between.
Once my CX-5 is outgrown, if there is no middle offering, I'll have to shop the market elsewhere. Hell, if they Skyactivated the 5 and brought it back to USDM, I'll bet I could get my wife into one of those and have plenty of space for more than a single child.
