This is one of the few SUVs that don't have a massive waiting list. Is it worth delving into the Mazda CX-5 world if you need a medium-sized SUV? Paul Maric checks out the 2022 Mazda CX-5 Akera 2.5T to see if it's any good after its mild refresh.

Damn straight. They are like Toyotas in reliability but with a bit of soul, they drive great, look and feel more premium than most mainstream cars - like VW but actually reliable. Australians have done a good job, Mazda has long been number 2 to fleet boosted Toyota sales. The Americans still have a love affair with Honda - which is fine if they actually sent us their best cars not the outdated crap Hondas we get here - no wonder their sales have been declining over the last decade.

@YZJB 2 года назад

The AWD system: It just has a rear diff ratio that’s 1.1% taller than the front diff ratio, so when the rear axle is engaged it spins 1.1% faster than the front axle does. So that also means when the rear axle is disengaged, the propellor shaft will be spinning 1.1% faster than the rear diff’s input, so the backlash is always taken up. Overspending the rear axle also helps to make the thing feel more rear-driven, and the Mk3 Focus RS also had the rear axle slightly ‘oversped’

Thank you for such an informative review! First one I see mention the rear diff trickery. Ordered the Sport Design trim (black wheels and accents) w/ 2.5T engine in Soul Red. Cannot wait. My third Mazda after Mk2 and Mk3 Mazda3's. Bonus here in Canada - we get unlimited mileage warranty. Mazda is the only manufacturer that offers it here since the 2015 model year.

@hasib981 2 года назад

Still think its the best looking 5 seater SUV out there. Other brands go for gimmicky looks (eg: fake rugged RAV or fake sporty Kia). Mazda is not pretending. What you see is what you get.

@User-cb4jm 2 года назад

@daves5988 2 года назад

We pick up our new Akera next week. It is identical to the test car i.e. Soul Red and Turbo. It is replacing a nearly 7 year old 2015 Akera (also Soul Red) that my wife loves. Our only real disappoint about the new Akera is a lack of any options on the interior finish, options that seem to be available in other markets. Our existing has White Leather, which has held up very well. Our Mazda has been virtually trouble free, just a couple of recall items that got addressed straight away. We replaced the original Tyres a year or so ago with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUVs and we would highly recommend them. They are quite noticeably better than the stock Toyos. It wasn't mentioned, but one of the upsides of the turbo motor in our opinions is it doesn't have Cylinder deactivation. I don't know of any manufacturers that have successfully introduced a Deactivation system that has true long term durability and reliability. We think the CX5 design is quite ageless. It has changed little but still looks good and fresh. I think the new Outlander looks hideous. it looks like just another bloated American market focussed vehicle.

@joshuawu5055 2 года назад

@daweigo6851 2 года назад

Cylinder deactivation, is that the stop start function?

@daves5988 2 года назад

@@joshuawu5055 Just under $58k on the road (list price in Qld) . It came with 3 years free servicing and $500 towards accessories.

@daves5988 2 года назад

@@daweigo6851 No, Cylinder deactivation happens on the open road when the engine load is low. Basically they mechanically close off half the valve train so the engine is only running on half its cylinders. It is a fuel saving strategy. The problem is the extra complexity needed and the fact the camshaft, rockers etc are being varied mechanically which adds additional failure points. There are lots of videos on u Tube showing why it is a bad idea long term.

@User-cb4jm 2 года назад

Why not wait for the CX-60, since this is largely the same car as the 2017 version that already is a facelifted version of what you have.

@nickcjohnston 2 года назад

Great review, just this in in the GT SP. You can tell and wife it's a sensible family car (which it is) and still have a good time on the open road - a compromise I was happy to make. Small features to add to review: >Kick to open boot - though you lose this when you install a tow bar... >Boot can be flat or dropped 5cm to give larger total boot space or raised to give a flat loading angle. >Fuel eco. response very well to 95 fuel and a father foot (I have got very close to claim when trying).

@davidrome6066 2 года назад

I still think that the CX5 has dated well and Mazda have kept it fresh with small upgrades thru it's lifespan. I'd go a Zircon Sand as I think the new colour suits the size of the SUV with a bit of adventurous stance.

@MichaelElms 2 года назад

Still strong, however inside let down by small main screen compared to those in the recently released Lexus NX & Kia Sportage...

@user-kc1tf7zm3b 2 года назад

At the end of the day, the late 2021 update CX-5 is merely a further progression and extension of the original Mazda Minagi concept which was revealed way back in March 2011. So, the ‘KX’ CX-5 platform is very much a creation of the 2010s. For those who are not in a rush to buy a compact Mazda SUV, one would perhaps be better served to wait for the next model. However, a true KX successor has not even been sighted in testing. So, who knows what Mazda’s plans are for the CX-5 for the middle part of the 2020s? If nothing else, the CX-5 serves the needs of those who want a truly compact SUV which is only 455cm long. As let’s face it, the new Mitsubishi Outlander GN at 471cm is too long for a good many of people. Especially for couples with no kids or only one child.

@user-kc1tf7zm3b 2 года назад

@@MichaelElms Kia? It wasn’t so long ago that Kia was for those who could not stretch their finances for a Japanese car. Even back in the 2000s, Kia was the sponsor of the prestigious Australian Open. So, you had very financially successful grand slam tennis players standing next to a budget Kia, which was rather odd at the time. Oh well, that is marketing and consumer psychology for you. Perceptions are just not forever, which can change over time. For those under 30, 2000s history and culture just does not matter at all.

@PattyCat. 2 года назад

Great in depth review. This helped to solidify my decision to get this over a RAV4, CRV, or VW Taos. I want something practical but also fun to drive. I'm getting the Turbo but one trim down, which I actually prefer as the wheels and trim are black, as well as the front grill having black chrome(and the little red bit in the grill which lets people know I mean business, lol). The only thing I'd want from this trim is the upgraded leather but I'll survive. The fact this has a heated steering wheel and ventilated seats was huge, I also love the fact it's got remote start via the app(which wasn't discussed here so maybe that's just a US thing). So pumped to get mine this week!

@louvega8414 Год назад

I hear you. I went for the Akira because of that napa leather, and will add black wheels when I get it. The black ones look great and it's a shame the Akira doesn't come with them and the black chrome bumper. I may have to resort to some red paint to toughen up my grill 😁

We opted for the 2022 CX5 AWD GT Turbo, just below the Akera but with the same engine specs. Had just over a month now. Things I love about it - the heads up display, very quiet inside the cabin, loads of pull from the engine and a great infotainment system. The seats are very comfortable and the memory function is great as my wife and I share the car. Things that aren't so great - it only has a 58L fuel tank so I'm having to go to the petrol station a lot more than I like, the electric boot is a bit slow to open and there are no shopping hooks (seriously!). I also find it really annoying that when I shut the engine off the accessories go off too, so I can't keep listening to the radio if I'm waiting to pick someone up without pressing the start button again to start the accessories. I hope their is a way, but the Mazda person didn't seem to know.

@stevendellavo1959 2 года назад

Just picked up my 2022 Akera (built Oct.22) and have put 600km touring on it in 2 days. Have they changed the suspension or is the Akera tuned differently to the GT...for 75 year-olds (no ageism intended)?

great review Paul, sadly we don't get the turbo option in UK (bloody emission regs), so our CX-5 is rather gutless, with poor torque. At least now they offer the 2.5 (194PS/258Nm) engine, when i had my 2018 MK2 model, 165PS 2.0L was all that was available, if you didn't want diesel. I thought with the face-lift, the Skyactiv-X engine would have been used.

@AUmarcus 2 года назад

No 2.2L turbo diesel either? Has even more torque than the 2.5L petrol. 450nm

Interesting seeing a manual tac gauge for engine temp. Mums mazda 2012 didnt have one just a hot or cold engine light. Made a lot of sense to me, especially for the common persons car.

WOW ... I have the 2022, 2.5L. purchased in May '22. non premium model ( no sunroof, wood paneling, turbo etc) Mine does have touchscreen. Seems it much have disappeared when they went to the longer/lower screen 😥 Pleased I got the version I have. I love the car it's a great drive. The rear seats are ALWAYS in the down position as I do lots of carrying of gear in the back ( no kids to worry about) I have only 2 complaints about the car. #1 a significant safety thing -- Fan speed buttons use require taking eyes off the road to use them. They are small and located low down. Should have been a better placed rotary knob for ease of use and no eyes leaving the road. #2 the hinge section of the drivers seat, on the right side, digs into my upper right thigh and gets freakin uncomfortable on longer trips. I have had to put in cushioning under the seat fabric/padding to try and ease the problem ( partly successful) Other than those 2 things, it's an awesome car and would buy another CX5 any day ( switched from multiple Toyota cars over many years) I/m tall, around 6'2 to 6'3 and trying to find a car that has both head and leg room for me is difficult. The CX5 was spot on. Toyota could no longer compete cheers, Dave

Hi Paul awesome video quality and review. Any chance you could provide how far the bandwidth is on AM radio . Some AM radio channels require 1620 and 1635 AM and I only know that Ford has that capability where as Kia and Hyundai do not for example. Thank you

@User-cb4jm 2 года назад

Do cars even have AM radios any more. Most are DAB/FM these days.

@ranimbill9331 2 года назад

@@User-cb4jm Yes, all cars have AM. But the bandwidth isn't as long on most makes and models. Some channels are still on AM bandwidth towards the end range. DAB is not reliable and it's just FM radio really. When it's working, it sounds good but again, it's just FM stations. It would be nice to find out while Paul is at it, how far is the bandwidth. Some Arabic, Italian and European channels require the AM Bandwidth between 1620 and 1700. Many car manufacturers do not even reach more than 1590

and it's gone up another 6 grand (Akera) since this review. In fact the GT sport, now, is a few grand more than this Akera in this review, just a few months later. Crazy. Mazda have lost the plot. It's now a 60 grand car. My sister got a relative bargain for her Akera Turbo at 53 a year back and I told her back then it was too expensive but it was still a hard time to buy a car.

So the USB ports are located in that little armrest which is closed and locked right? How do you charge your phone that you want to use with GPS on your window? It's so stupid isn't it?

@RanjivKapuge Год назад

There’s a small gap in the armrest to pull out the wire along with the phone if you need. There’s the wireless charging mat and wireless CarPlay as well. All very practical. I have this car and love it!

The CX-7 turbo and the CX-5 turbo use totally different engines. CX-7 was the Mazda L-Engine (which Ford used as the Duratec and later the EcoBoost 2.0L/2.3L). CX-5 uses the Skyactiv-G which is a totally different concept

making me think should i go for turbo and not the standard engine? what do you guys think

@gsau3000 2 года назад

Absolutely. you will regret it if you don't get the turbo. I have the 2018 M6 Atenza 2.5 Turbo and it's awesome. I had the 2015 regular 2.5L and I was shifting down all the time to overtake. Having the turbo now, I never shift down. I just give the accelerator a gentle squeeze and the car takes off. I never have to use the power switch when the accel is floored either. (there's a kick down switch under the accel pedal. When the car is turned off, floor the accel pedal and then push a bit more and you'll feel the switch.) Cheers

The CX-5 reminds me of any current model Audi. If you are not intimately familiar with the models, you wouldn't be able to tell which is the newer model compared to its predecessor.
