Mazdaadded another number to the CX-5 for the 2023 model year to make the new CX-50. Mazda is positioning the CX-50 not as a replacement for the CX-5, but to augment the lineup. It's a more "active lifestyle" type of crossover with black cladding and a higher ground clearance than the CX-5. Mazda just loaned us a top spec 2.5 Turbo mpzxc. Foi retocado há um ano mas a diferença maior continua a ser a aposta da Mazda num motor e num esforço para, apesar disso, manter o CX-5 com um preço desde a casa dos 33 mil euros aproximado da concorrência menos musculada que manda no segmento dos SUV 4×2. Uma proposta a ver com atenção, mesmo que a capacidade, potência e binário do motor não resultem num exemplo de economia para os parâmetros de um diesel… Em termos estéticos, o CX-5 é inconfundível e a altura não lhe rouba equilíbrio nem prejudica as proporções. A Mazda continua com um estilo limpo, simples, moderno e sóbrio, na interpretação do chamado Kodo design. A isto acrescenta um interior em que a qualidade percebida está ao nível do melhor da escola japonesa. Bons materiais, combinações de bom gosto, acabamentos irrepreensíveis, ergonomia a dispensar críticas. No caso, ajudava o facto de a versão ensaiada ser a Excellene Pack Leather Beije Navi, uma das mais ricas…. Bancos em pele a perfumarem o ambiente com um toque de classe, reforçado por um rico pacote de equipamento que, também é verdade, leva o preço para valores menos concorrenciais. Mais dez mil euros ! faz deste CX-5 outro SUV… No que respeita a habitabilidade, uma oferta capaz de garantir conforto elevado. Espaço de sobra para quatro e, sobretudo, o desafogo suficiente atrás para movermos as pernas à vontade e não sentirmos a “pressão” do forro do tejadilho e aquela sensação de ter de dobrar o pescoço. O acesso é também bom, portas largas e altas com bom ângulo de abertura, mesmo que num SUV haja sempre um degrau a subir… Fica a ideia de um SUV para lavar e durar, cómodo e espaçoso com uma bagageira vulgar e que não surpreende em matéria de consumos para um diesel. Também a possibilidade de ter um carro com “mais motor”, potência e binário, um quase ao preço de um 1600 Neste particular, menos brilhante é a capacidade da bagageira 477 litros há um pequeno espaço sob o fundo, valor que perde para a maioria da concorrência. A modularidade e os aspetos práticos são bem melhores. As costas dos lugares traseiros têm dois níveis de inclinação 24/28 graus, o banco é tripartido 40x20x40 e o rebatimento pode ser feito a partir dos fechos nos “ombros”, como é habitual, mas também através de dois puxadores nas paredes da mala – solução comum na marca. O plano de carga que não fica horizontal rebatido é relativamente alto. Pormenor simpático, o funcionamento em conjunto com o movimento do portão da cortina que cobre a bagageira e esconde a carga. É sempre mais prático do que estar a puxar e recolher a persiana. E tudo se torna ainda mais simples, quando o portão tem abertura elétrica, como era o caso da versão ensaiada. Virtudes habituais Satisfatório no plano dos aspetos práticos, o CX-5 tem as virtudes próprias de um Mazda no que respeita à dinâmica, aquele toque especial que o sistema Skyactiv empresta à condução dos modelos do construtor japonês. Bem sentados, posição elevada e cómoda ao volante, neste SUV sente-se, é verdade, a altura do centro de gravidade e a transferência de massas não passa despercebida, quando se circula mais depressa ou se passa em zonas ziguezagueantes. Nada capaz de penalizar o comportamento deste Mazda que curva com naturalidade, sempre transmitindo segurança, até porque a intervenção do sistema de controlo de estabilidade é progressiva, eficaz, sem alguma vez nos sujeitar a correções bruscas para levar o carro ao lugar. Para tudo isto contribui o G-Vectoring Control, novidade nesta segunda geração do CX-5 lançada em 2017, um sistema que integra o controlo do motor, transmissão e chassis e que, na prática, otimiza a distribuição do binário aplicado a cada roda. É por isso capaz, como explica a Mazda, de reduzir, momentaneamente, o binário transmitido às rodas dianteiras transferindo mais peso para o eixo e aumentando o nível de aderência. Deste modo, quando se mantém um ângulo constante o sistema recupera o binário e transfere-o para as rodas traseiras com natural influência na agilidade do CX-5. Resulta – e contribui para um nível de confiança muito grande a juntar à agradabilidade de condução! Para a qual contribui a excelência da caixa de seis velocidades manual, muito agradável de manejar, e o bom trabalho ao nível da insonorização que aumenta o conforto de marcha. Bom rolador Capacidade e potência do motor têm naturalmente reflexo no desempenho do CX-5 quando se olha à concorrência, nos valores e aceleração 9,4 segundos de 0 a 100 e 204 km/h de velocidade máxima. Mas até é mais na facilidade das recuperações que o CX-5 marca pontos, fazendo alarde dos 340 Nm de binário que contribuem para toda a diferença quando se pisa o acelerador. Ainda assim, não estamos face a uma máquina, um bom rolador, com certeza, despachado e desinibido, também quando se procuram outros pisos, pois a distância ao solo 20 cm proporcionada pelas generosas jantes de 19 polegadas permite algum à-vontade fora de estrada. No que respeita a consumos, o CX-5 não surpreende. Consegui 7 litros redondos em autoestrada para uma média geral de 7,3 em pouco menos de 500 quilómetros. A autonomia nem chega a tanto, o que me parece curto para um SUV a diesel. A média geral assinalada no computador de bordo, para cerca de 7500 quilómetros era de 7,8. Fica a ideia de um SUV para lavar e durar, cómodo e espaçoso com uma bagageira vulgar e que não surpreende em matéria de consumos para um diesel. Também a possibilidade de ter um carro com “mais motor”, potência e binário, um quase ao preço de um 1600, desde que não se carregue no equipamento. E, dispensar certas coisas, é difícil quando se chega a este patamar… A versão base terá de ser diferente desta que vale o juízo sobre o CX-5. Nem todos precisarão de arranque inteligente, faróis em LED com máximos automáticos, travão de mão elétrico, sensores de luz e chuva, câmara de marcha atrás, ar condicionado automático, bancos elétricos, head-up display, reconhecimento de sinais, navegação, sistema áudio Bose, jantes de 19 polegadas, portão traseiro de comando elétrico, só para dar meia dúzia de exemplos daquilo que ajuda – e muito – à diferença e encarece um automóvel.

With a price tag that's much closer to a Honda CR-V’s than a Porsche Macan’s, the Mazda is accessible to the same demographic group as the former, but it's also able to the impress those who fall into the latter's tax bracket. The CX-5's base four-cylinder engine doesn't highlight its dynamic driving personality as well as the optional turbocharged four, but all models have a ride-and-handling balance that's unrivaled in this segment. There are more practical alternatives, especially when it concerns cargo space, but no competitors can match the Mazda's elegantly styled and richly appointed interior. The 2022 CX-5's transcendent traits simply outpace all of its classmates, so we put it on our 2022 Editors' Choice New for 2022?For 2022, Mazda massages the CX-5's already attractive bodywork with smoother surfaces on the front and rear. Its grille also becomes more distinctive with a new three-dimensional mesh texture and wings that extend outwards toward the reshaped LED headlights. Inside, the seats have been updated to be more supportive. Mazda says it also retuned the transmission to be smoother and more responsive. Likewise, suspension improvements are said to make the CX-5 handle and ride even better than before. All models now come standard with all-wheel drive, and the SUV's driving behavior is more adjustable thanks to new drive-mode settings. The Grand Touring Reserve trim is now called Turbo, and the top-tier Signature trim has body-color cladding instead of the previous dark color. The turbo four's engine horsepower increases by 6 to 256 horses when using premium and Which One to Buy We think the new Turbo trim best exemplifies the CX-5. With the upgraded 256-hp turbocharged engine, its quickness better corresponds with its athletic handling. Its exterior is elegantly sporty with trim-specific gloss-black accents. Its interior mirrors that sportiness with red accents and stitching. Engine, Transmission, and PerformanceThe CX-5's standard 187-hp four-cylinder engine has great throttle response when pulling away from stoplights or hustling around town, so it feels quicker than it actually is. It's at higher speeds, such as when trying to pass or merge onto the freeway, that it feels underpowered. The 256-hp turbocharged version we tested provided much quicker acceleration. Both engines pair with a snappy six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. You don't need to drive the CX-5 hard to enjoy it or to appreciate its excellence. Sure, its precise steering and composed cornering make for one helluva Sunday cruise. But it also soaks up rough roads without commotion and has the ride quality of crossovers that cost twice as much. This harmonious interplay of dynamics is unrivaled by its competitors. Pavement imperfections are isolated, road noise is minimal, and the damping is neither stiff nor floaty. At the same time, the Mazda comes alive on curvy roads. The electrically assisted steering provides satisfying responses. The Signature model we tested had a reassuring brake-pedal feel that operated without delay and without being too touchy when you apply the Economy and Real-World MPGWith two engine options, the CX-5 has two fuel-economy ratings. The base engine is rated at 24 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. The more powerful turbocharged engine is rated at 22 mpg city and 27 highway. We've tested both on our 75-mph highway route, which is part of our extensive testing regimen, and the standard engine returned 32 mpg compared with the turbo four's 30 mpg result.

First-rate materials and a fabulous layout make it feel especially upscale. The floor-hinged accelerator pedal feels better than the more common version that is suspended above the floor, the well-crafted steering wheel is directly in front of the driver and not offset at a slight angle, and all of the front-seat armrests are at the same height for optimal comfort. Sacrifices come in small packages in this case, the CX-5 held just nine carry-on suitcases behind its rear seats in our testing. The storage bay does benefit from a completely flat load floor. There are also several nooks and crannies in the cabin to store smartphones and other small items. For instance, the center console has a deep tray at the front and a useful bin with a removable shelf. Infotainment and ConnectivityEvery model boasts a infotainment display that's primarily manipulated through a rotary controller and volume knob on the center console. The interface also operates through voice commands and buttons on the steering wheel. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the board.

It's got as many Car and Driver 10Best awards as it does tires, but after seven years of one of our favorite crossovers, the CX-5 is due for a rejuvenation. It's still a better driver and far more luxurious than the train of competitors behind it, but the new kids on the block have quickly outshined its trophy cabinet. Under the hood is a 187-hp inline-four engine with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The optional 256-hp turbocharged is the powertrain to get, but thankfully Mazda has decided against the popular CVT, and instead uses a traditional six-speed automatic transmission, which sweetens the CX-5 driving experience. While it gives up some space for the sake of style, sitting in a CX-5 is enough to convince you of its luxury. For space, we'd stick with the newer Honda CR-V or the slightly larger CX-50, but despite its age, the CX-5 still drives like it's out to prove something. Where This Vehicle RanksWhat's New for 2024?Like it did for the CX-30 crossover and 3 sedan and hatchback, Mazda adds the Carbon Turbo trim level to the CX-5 for 2024. A CX-5 Carbon Turbo is easy to spot, as it wears brown Zircon Sand paint and black trim pieces including wheels and mirror caps.

Its shortcomings are few, and it remains one of the top-rated vehicles in our compact SUV rankings. For 2021 the CX-5 has been updated with a larger infotainment screen, a new trim level, and a very slight price increase. What are the differences between the 2021 CX-5 trim levels, and which is best? Let's get into Mazda CX-5 Sport Pros and ConsSport is a fitting name for the base trim, as it enjoys the same sporty chassis setup as its higher-end counterparts. It's powered by a I-4 that turns the front wheels, with all-wheel drive optionally available. This engine doesn't make the CX-5 particularly efficient, scoring 25/31 mpg city/highway with FWD and 24/30 mpg with it rolls on 17-inch alloy wheels and has LED headlights. Only black and light blue are included as exterior paint colors; metallic white and red are available at extra cost. Inside, the climate control and cloth-upholstered seats are manually adjustable. Two front-row USB ports, a gauge cluster display, and a four-speaker audio system are standard. The second-row seats recline and have fold-down release handles in the cargo in Sport trim, the CX-5's features indicate Mazda's premium approach. The body-color side mirrors have built-in turn signals, and dual chrome-finished exhaust tips look sporty. Inside, the infotainment display is hard to miss, while the leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob feel nicer than the plastic parts found in some competitors. Like all CX-5 trims, driver assist and active safety features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rain-sensing wipers, and automatic emergency braking are included. These help the CX-5 earn top safety ratings from the IIHS and its solid dynamic attributes and driver assist tech, the roughly $26,500 CX-5 Sport appeals for an entry-level model. We wouldn't be disappointed to choose it, but it's pretty Mazda CX-5 Touring Pros and ConsThe Touring trim adds features that help the CX-5 feel less stripped out. These include hands-free keyless entry, illuminated sun visor mirrors, a six-speaker audio system, and dual-zone automatic climate control. Up front, the driver's seat gets power adjustability, and both seats gain three-level heating. The second row is upgraded with air vents, a folding center armrest with cupholders, and tinted side windows. All seats are upholstered in leatherette with faux suede accents. Metallic silver and dark blue are added to the standard paint choices, and dark gray becomes available at extra approximately $28,000, the 2021 CX-5 Touring trim adds features that are nice to have but nothing that's absolutely Mazda CX-5 Carbon Edition Pros and ConsMazda might like you to think the 2021 CX-5 Carbon Edition is some sort of lightweight or extra-sporty model, but it's mechanically identical to any other trim in the lineup. No carbon fiber here—that "Carbon" bit supposedly relates to the common color of the element black, like coal. Indeed, the Carbon Edition's grille, side mirror caps, and 19-inch wheels are finished in black. It's coated exclusively in Polymetal Gray metallic paint, which isn't offered on any other changes include black or red leather seating upholstery, red stitching on the shift knob and steering wheel, and black trim panels. But the Carbon Edition isn't only about styling—it's equipped with a moonroof, power rear liftgate, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and 10-speaker Bose audio system. The front passenger seat gains power adjustability, and two USB ports are added to the second at just under $30,000, the CX-5 Carbon Edition adds features that boost its daily usability and enjoyment. If it's in your budget, it's worth a look—so long as you vibe with its blacked-out styling Mazda CX-5 Carbon Turbo Edition Pros and ConsThis trim is just like the CX-5 Carbon Edition but with—you guessed it—a turbocharged engine. It's the first CX-5 trim that's offered with Mazda's turbocharged I-4, which bumps power to as much as 227 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque or 250 hp and 320 lb-ft with premium fuel from 186 hp and 186 lb-ft as standard. It's a significant boost that changes the CX-5's driving demeanor—that is, it's much increased performance decreases fuel economy The Carbon Edition Turbo and other CX-5 trims that use this engine are rated at 23/28 mpg with FWD, and 22/27 mpg with for the 2021 CX-5 Carbon Edition Turbo start at just under $32,000. The trim's increased power and torque give it enthusiast appeal. However, the non-turbo Carbon Edition still has fun handling and the same features. It just isn't as Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring Pros and ConsThe premium feel increases in the CX-5 Grand Touring trim. It rolls on bright-finished 19-inch wheels and gains upgraded LED lighting headlights with DRL accents and curve-adaptive functionality, front foglights, and taillights. Inside, the seats are upholstered in black or beige leather. The gauge cluster information display increases to inches in size. It's also the first CX-5 trim that includes paddle shifters, which work pretty well to control the somewhat outdated six-speed automatic. Mazda tosses in a three-month trial subscription to SiriusXM satellite radio on the Grand Touring with these features, the roughly $31,500 CX-5 Grand Touring's price slightly undercuts that of the Carbon Edition Turbo. However, the Grand Touring model is equipped with the naturally aspirated engine— Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring Reserve Pros and ConsIn Grand Touring Reserve trim, the CX-5 becomes a more worthy competitor to compact luxury SUVs. It's equipped with the turbocharged engine and AWD. Comfort improves by way of the heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, and heated rear seats. Technology upgrades include a head-up display and infotainment voice command functionality. Power-folding side mirrors and a windshield wiper de-icer add just over $37,000, the CX-5 Grand Touring Reserve trim takes a major price hike over the Grand Touring model. With its powertrain and upscale features, that increase seems justified. It's expensive for a CX-5 but a relative bargain against similarly equipped luxury Mazda CX-5 Signature Pros and ConsAs Mazda plots its move upmarket, its luxurious aims are indicated by the range-topping CX-5 Signature trim. Its 19-inch wheels have a dark silver finish, but for some reason metallic silver paint is unavailable. However its interior is covered in lovely dark brown premium leather upholstery, complemented by genuine layered wood trim. Technology enhancements include a 360-degree parking camera system and road sign recognition capability. The interior overhead lights are replaced with LEDs. Front and rear parking sensors and rear automatic braking help prevent scrapes and scuffs. The turbocharged engine and AWD are standard 2021 CX-5 Signature runs for about $38,500, not a huge lift over the Grand Touring Reserve model. But as nice as that brown leather is, we question if that addition and a few others are worth 2021 Mazda CX-5 Model Is Best?The CX-5 is truly an enthusiast's crossover, and for that reason we think it's best when equipped with the punchy turbocharged engine. As such, we're inclined toward the Carbon Edition Turbo trim—it has that power. What it doesn't have is all the upscale features of higher-end models, but the many inclusions make it a compelling value. The Carbon Edition's catch is that it's only available in Polymetal Gray paint, which won't suit everyone's tastes. Regardless, the CX-5's great looks and dynamics make it a worthy rival to SUVs in its class or even those above. Vehicle ReviewsWe drove the 2023 Mazda CX-50 Turbo for a few days. Check out the few pros and cons that we found. Published on January 14, 2023 2 min read We spent a little time with the 2023 Mazda CX-50 Turbo and enjoyed every second of it. The CX-50 provides a sporty yet comfortable ride and excels in some ways but not in others. Here are a few pros and cons we found during our time with the 2023 CX-50 Turbo. 1. Con The infotainment system is annoying to use 2023 Mazda CX-50 Mazda We have complained about Mazda’s infotainment systems so much that it’s almost just a cheap shot at this point. However, it’s still worth pointing out, considering Mazda has yet to change the system in a 2023 model like the CX-50. Case in point, the CX-50’s infotainment system consists of a display that sits in the center of the dashboard. It’s not a touchscreen, though. Instead, you have to control it with a knob on the center console. Typically, knob-controlled systems aren’t that bad; however, the Mazda system requires too many clicks to get to specific menus. It’s even cumbersome to change radio stations, which requires taking your eyes off the road for too long. We hope that Mazda will change this system in the next generation of the CX-50. 2. Con The 2023 Mazda CX-50 is a little thirsty 2023 Mazda CX-50 Joe Santos, MotorBiscuit A four-cylinder engine powers the 2023 Mazda CX-50 Turbo, but we wish it were a little more fuel-efficient. The EPA rates the CX-50’s fuel economy at 23 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. In our real-world testing, we averaged around 23 mpg in mixed driving conditions. That’s not terrible, but it could be better. If you do a lot of city driving, just know that the CX-50 could be a little thirsty. 3. Pro The Mazda CX-50 is sized well, even for tall passengers 2023 Mazda CX-50 Mazda The Mazda CX-50 is the brand’s second-largest SUV. It slots between the CX-5 and the CX-9, which means that it’s large and roomy enough to fit tall passengers. There’s plenty of leg and headroom in the first and second rows. We imagine that passengers around 6 feet, 4 inches tall, and shorter should be able to fit just fine. 4. Pro The CX-50 drives well on snowy roads 2023 Mazda CX-50 Joe Santos, MotorBiscuit During our time with the Mazda CX-50, we were able to take it on a few snow-covered roads. We weren’t exactly driving in deep snow; however, the CX-50’s i-Activ AWD system did well on the snowy roads we drove on. From a dead stop, the car’s all-season tires gripped the road quickly, which was partly assisted by the all-wheel drive system. 5. Pro The Mazda CX-50’s turbocharged engine provides plenty of power 2023 Mazda CX-50 Joe Santos, MotorBiscuit The 2023 Mazda CX-50 Turbo puts out 227 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque, which is the same engine that’s used across the product lineup. In the CX-50, the engine works really well, as it’s able to pull the little SUV up inclines and onto the freeway with ease. Anyone looking to get into a Mazda CX-50 should consider the extra power over the base engine – especially if they live in higher elevations. The pros and cons of driving the 2023 Mazda CX-50 Turbo The 2023 Mazda CX-50 Turbo is an excellent choice for anyone in need of a small SUV. The pros of driving it outweigh the cons by a large margin. If you don’t mind the infotainment system and the gas mileage, the CX-50 Turbo could be for you.
