I might be the only person loves the aesthetics of Mazda CX-5 (the design, car size, shape etc.)

[jimf]

As an owner of a 2022 CX-5 Signature, I can see the 2025 Signature is virtually unchanged. Suggestions: I would like to see a broader selection of interior colors (the Nappa brown feels great but is very difficult to keep clean…especially sunscreen! ), improved tech/navigation (as you mention here), and improved key fob ( current one feels sub-premium). Overall, however I agree this is an excellent vehicle.

I drove Toyotas all my life decided to switch it up and get a certified pre owned ’21 CX5 I will say the CX5 has probably been one of the best vehicles I’ve ever had!

[davidrupprecht]

I really enjoy my 2020 Mazda CX 5 Signature and would buy it again and again. Can't wait to see the redesign!

Thanks, for the review of the 2025 CX-5 Signature. We're a Mazda CX-5 Signature family.
I drive a 2019 soul red model and my wife has a 2024 eternal blue model she bought in July 2024. She traded in her 2015 CX-5 Grand Touring for it. I've been very happy with mine it now has over 86, 000 miles. We both prefer it over the CX-50 and prefer several design features, such as the 40/20/40 rear seats, fully independent rear suspension, build quality and cheaper pricing over the CX-50. Basically the ONLY thing I would love to change is that dark brown leather is TOO DARK!. It's almost black. It would be more attractive and luxurious if it was a lighter brown or saddle or terra cotta!!
Overall it competes very well against cars like Lexus, costing $10-15, 000 more.
Thanks, for the great videos. BTW, we lived in Lexington, KY from 1995-1999. Beautiful city in the heart of the beautiful Bluegrass country!!
I'm interested in seeing the next generation hybrid CX-5 when it comes out.

I was at the Senior Center, picking up a rider for the non-profit ride service I drive for (shout out iTN Bluegrass) when you were filming that one. Shear coincidence I recently tripped over your channel. Keep up the good work!

Saving my cash for next gen. 2025-26 CX5. It will be offered with their own in-house Hybrid system and rumoured PHEV 328HP as well. Gonna be worth the wait.

Have two of these CX5’s. Don’t change a thing. Best small SUV on the road. Certainly much better than the CRV and the Forester

[brandonangelodiaz]

That’s the exact spec and trim I want! And here in the Philippines, we get 3 trims and the top trim here is the 2.5L Turbo or the Signature you have there in the US. But sadly, all trims have the same old 8” infotainment. But I think the newly refreshed trims to arrive next year will have the standard 10” screens. Great review of this and I love it! God Bless, always!!!😊

[hourgmtchannel]

We bought a used one owner 2017 in soul crystal red and it's surprising how much is still the same. I like that.

[blessedarmadillo]

One note: I just purchased a 2025 CX 5 Select and it does not have auto stop and does not have Cylinder Deactivation. This was my preference also, since I wanted neither. I've heard that some of the Selects will have auto stop and CD and some won't. You might want to check and report on that.

[ryanfrisby]

Excellent review as per usual!! One oversight is that you can’t use the heated seats or USB ports if you have 5 people on board.

[drewyager]

Those front turn signals don’t look like LED lights. You do get a ton of features. Love the CX5

[CarsandTechInfo]

@CarConfections, you guys should review the updated 2025 CX-5 Carbon Turbo which now has the 360° camera system & front & rear parking sensors from the Signature trim. That's the best value of the turbo trims

[deathbat_]

I have the 2024 signature. A big reason why I went with the signature is because of the 360 camera. I'm a bit annoyed now that it is available on the premium plus, bec that's the trim that I ideally wanted. I like the blacked out rims, molding, and mirror caps better

[Blackandwhitecat-uv]

Better than the Lexus for sure for a lot less $.

[palebeachbum]

As a Florida resident who doesn't need nor want AWD, I don't consider any vehicle that forces AWD on me, which seems to be an increasing number of CUVs nowadays. There are many important reasons to avoid having AWD when you don't need it: 1) You have to replace all 4 tires at once, so it's a huge waste of money if you have one bad tire or only need to replace a pair of worn tires. 2) You have to perform AWD differential maintenance. 3) Fuel economy is usually a worse because of the parasitic mechanical drag and added weight of AWD components, which can and do fail later down the road. So unless one truly needs AWD, it's an unnecessary drain on the wallet. Considering there are nice FWD competitors out there for less money, the CX5 isn't a CUV I'd consider. It does look nice though.

Great review guys. Really like the style of the CX-5 and I'm VERY happy that Mazda is NOT using a CVT transmission in this compact segment. Could have used an extra gear or two but it is what it is. For someone like me who's been driving since I could reach the pedals, CVT transmissions are so unenjoyable. I'm currently stuck with one but not for long😁. Hope you do a review of the CX-70 with the 280hp Turbo Inline 6. Trying to decide between this Signature CX-5 and the CX-70 non-S trim. Love your reviews. Thanks fellas. 👍

[JosephPayton-mg]

This CX5 is fairly nice, better than most in the class. It still has fresh styling but it’s age it’s definitely showing in some areas where the CX-50 enhances. Though I will say if technology and having the most room isn’t a major setback for most people it just maybe the best overall vehicle in the segment. Though if it were up to me, I would get a CX-50, I believe it looks a lot better than this and I do prefer the terracotta seats that’s on the 50 as well. This interior is just to dark for my liking.

[Lexicn]

I've got a hankering for a Mazda. Really like the CX5 design and that silver gray color adds some elegance in my opinion. Glad you pointed out the trend by many other car brands shying away from horsepower for vehicles in this class. That to me has been very disappointing. I would like to see Mazda bump up the power in the CX5 even more and possibly build their engine with some flexibility so that if you choose to use Premium Fuel you'll get the max power output. Guys I have one bit of feedback and that is if you could go through the Normal and Sport Modes, if so equipped, when doing your Driving Impression segment for these vehicles. I would love to hear your driver feedback when switching between those modes. Oh, and a bit more exterior B-Roll for those of us who enjoy a little eye candy with some of these well-designed models. I always appreciate your reviews and didn't realize I wasn't subscribed. I am now. Keep up the great work.
