With Toyota being way over priced, every Toyota and Lexus shopper owes it to themselves to give Mazda a real look.

Very reliable, phenomenal machines.

I love that you guys include the trim level guide.

I just traded my 2018 CX-5 Grand Touring for a 2023 Carbon Edition. Love my Mazda. It's great that Sky-active AWD is standard now, works well with G-vectoring for a fun drive. Wish I had the budget for a turbo trim.

For the longest I’ve been wanting the Crv after the remodel came out. I currently have a civic so I was like let me stick with Honda. But I do have a heavy foot and just hated how it lagged. And the reason why I wanted a CRV was for the bigger space and mostly AWD (I live in nyc) I saw this Mazda CX5 on the road and it made me reconsider. I love how it looked and the size as well. I’m here reading the comments and now want a cx5

[MrNemo]

Still one of the best! Wish they had offered the wireless and touch functionality for Android/Apple earlier.😐 Hopefully there is a retroactive software update.

[bernardbadrov]

Still one of the most beautiful after 7 years.

The sounds system in this car is amazing.. it adapts to the road so nicely and the base and overall quality is second to none in the premium suv segment

I just bought a base 2021 CX5 Sport two years ago, it only cost me $28, 000 and had everything that I needed, two years later I’m still in love with this car, it’s just a great vehicle at a very affordable price, and you get options and quality only in cars far more expensive. I’m thinking of trading it in due to my high mileage existence, and getting at 2024, same thing. In my book can’t beat it.

Up here in Canada the cx5 GT trim can be chosen with either the NA 2.5 and the 2.5 turbo and the trim comes with ventilated seats, leather and all the good bits. Eventually I might replace my 2016 cx5 with a new cx5.

I purchased a 2024 carbon edition with red leather a few weeks ago and I’m very happy with it. The only thing I don’t love is the entertainment system but I’ll get used to it. I don’t think I can connect my iPhone without keeping it plugged in but maybe I haven’t figured it out yet. Overall, it’s a beautiful car with great features.

I've owned three CX-5's. A 2017 Touring, a 2019 GT and a 2022 Signature. Just a few things I didn't really like about them.

1. stiff ride. Got much stiffer after the 2017.
2. fuel economy with the turbo. If you do a lot of HW driving not a problem. If you do mostly city driving it's fairly hard on gas.
3. front seats have to move way up if the rear seats are down and flat.
4. the USB ports are inside the center console.
5. the engine shuts off when remote start (Mazda App) is used when the door is opened...even if you have the fob on you.
6. the rear wiper seemed weak on all 3 I owned.
7. the rear USB ports and the heated seat buttons are in the rear console, so having a 3rd person sitting in the rear makes those impossible to use.
8. the paint was thin and fragile (2019 was a soul crystal red).
9. the NA engine would perform much better with an 8 speed transmission.
10. the seats in the 2019 and 2022 were somewhat hard and uncomfortable for longer trips.
11. Bose system doesn't sound that great. Had a 2021 Acura RDX ELS system that was light years better.
12. 2022 head unit would reboot often while driving.

This was just my personal experience with owning three of them. That said, I really liked all three. All three were reliable. I'm waiting for the CX-70 and will most likely buy another Mazda soon. No car is perfect.

[jelvermazariegos]

I wish they kept the horizontal mesh pattern from last year with the red dots on this trim looks a bit wierd/brittle

[greene]

Just rented this exact model/color for a mini vacation. This was a great ride, and comfort level was indeed nice.

I've owned a 2008 Mazda 3, 2016 Mazda 6, and a 2019 Mazda 6. Mazda has the best steering aorund. The touch and feel are unmatched. I'm now driving a 2022 Kia Stinger, which is ok but i do miss Mazda. Too bad they've stopped updating and selling the 6 in the States. They could have a real hit bringing it back, updated of course. And stop making silly decisions like using non touchscreens, using the same old 6 gear, calling 250hp a turbo option, and always being the last implementing common tech features. Mazda is already unique, they just need to be a pioneer/leader. I'll very likely never buy a Honda or Toyota. Just not my style but i do like the lifted look of the Crown. It's a modern take on the look of the sedan and i think should be copied. SUVs and their expanding sizes are ridiculous at this point. Lifting the sedans slightly would help with visibility when driving behind these behemoths on the rode.

[KishoreKumar-slfk]

have they fixed the Lane centering in 2024? for better Adaptive cruise on the highway. Can we expect this vehicle to be properly centered in the lane instead of shakin within the lane?

[oscarhalder]

suddenly my 2023 signature seems old lol! wish i had the wireless car play & touch screen.

[josephf]

I have to be honest I never purchased a Mazda, my first one was back in 2021 I have a CX-5 GT in That beautiful soul Red color! And I absolutely love it! Not at they added the touch ability on the entertainment system I think I'm going to go back and turn in my lease and get another one!

[richardsanders]

Wat happened to the red stripes in the grill of turbo models🤔???

[andrews]

Isn’t that grill style new for this year? Seems different

[martincamenzuli]

Love the new sized 19” wheels, beautiful !
Also love love the larger looks like 4” exhaust tips along with functioning dual exhaust. Very nice!👍👍👍
