2024 Mazda CX-5 Turbo Premium - This Is The NICEST SUV For $40k.. 

A good friend just bought a CX-5 and I've driven it a number of times. It's very impressive and fun to drive. I agree -- the controller knob is actually intuitive.

Probably the best review I’ve seen on this car. I just bought this exact vehicle last Saturday in Jet Black Mica. The drive feels so damn good.

Upgraded from a 2021 Grand Touring Reserve CX-5 to the 2024 Turbo Carbon Edition and no regrets, great vehicles.

The fact they don’t try to give you a cvt trans on these is fantastic. (They give you flappy paddles!!) that reason alone makes them worth picking up. Like others here, just went and bought one of these with girlfriend last month and if you are shopping in this category of new vehicles these blow them all out of the water. They’ve been around long enough and are simple enough that it will last forever. For 2024 they give you a wireless touchscreen (when using CarPlay android) something everyone bitched about in every review, but the navigation knob is truly all you need. Also, if you get the Bose sound system, for some reason they are delivered turned all the way down, you have to basically get in the menu to enable it. These are no brainer, quick, no cvt, no hybrid batteries, still has knobs instead of touchscreen iPads everywhere, and the engine has a proven track record of longevity and relative simplicity.

Very informative and complete review! I already own a 2021 CX-5 CE Turbo w/ AWD, but I had to watch this.

Just picked up this exact same vehicle on Friday. I'm in love. It's awesome. Love the gray with the dark rims and the gloss trim. Beautiful inside and out. I enjoy your thoughtful reviews and footage. Keep it up.

Great review! Lots of info that I haven’t heard elsewhere! Looking at them today! Thank you!

Some people will complain about the fuel consumption of 22 mpg city/27 mpg highway for the CX-5 turbo w/ AWD, but the gas mileage doesn't hurt me at all, since I'm retired, and don't drive as much as I used to. I only have 3400 miles on my 2021 CX-5, so I'm actually saving more money on fuel than most anyone with an EV, or hybrid. Get rid of the turbo and AWD, and you'll get better gas mileage, but who wants to do that? Zoom! Zoom!

Thanks! Great thorough video. I have the last model year before the turbo came out (2018) and am looking to get this trim you reviewed. You made me feel more confident this is the right one for me.

Just bought my first Mazda and love it. I looked and researched for many months and have to say that I can’t get over how much more for your money that you get with Mazda. For example with other brands you only get fake leather even in the top trims while with Mazda you get the real thing and with high quality.

Great review! I have a 2017 Volvo XC60 T6 AWD Turbo / Super Turbo Inscription and this Mazda CX5 AWD is nearly comparable. The price difference and fact the CX5 can run on regular fuel makes it a very good value. I may get one based on your review.

I’m car shopping, it takes me about 6 months to decide. Subscribed for your excellently detailed reviews on cars, perfect clip, not boring.👍🏻

Excellent review. Most thorough I’ve seen and I’ve been obsessed. Still trying to find a review of the Turbo Signature as I’m trying to decide between the two.

Considering this car to purchase in the next few months. Most informative video i have seen. Thank you for making this excellent video

Bought one on New Year's Eve. Wanted red but wife really hates red. Did not want her unhappy every time she pulled into the driveway and saw my car over the next five years, so I took dark crystal blue 42M. Not a deal breaker for me but no one does red like Mazda! Trim colors give the little SUV a sporty, masculine feel. Three most important must have elements for me: 1. Insurance real world safety numbers. How many people have died in this compared to my Mazda3 or a Toyota RAV 4? Side impact tougher test for small SUV. I looked at the death tables, the insurance loss tables, the IIHS info, consumer reports, and NHTSA data. CX-5 is a safer SUV, given its small size disadvantage. It was the only small SUV in a study of 20 small SUVs to pass the tougher, but not enacted, new side impact test in 2021. 2. Acceleration must be wicked good and handling too. Fun to drive factor. CX-5 gets the pass. Larger models not as fun for me. 3. Sound/Music. Physiologically, I'm wired for audio more than visual. My ears get a broadband connection to my brain and emotions. It's different for many people who are more connected to the visual. The vehicle must have loud and accurate player capabilities. The Bose system gets a pass. The 12-speaker Bose in my 2012 was also excellent. This 2024 SUV is the best ride I have ever owned. Gas milage is crap. Stock tires are meh, so I put Michelin sone before getting a second tank of gas. This car makes me smile when I drive it! I love it!

I just bought the exact same one in blue. Love it!

Wonderful. Bought CX5 2014. Have gotten stuck here. Once my income rises, I'll definitely acquire CX5 2024

Very nice/ informative/ complete review of this model. Saw a milage and dyno test of the 2.5t (RU-vid); the 2.5t CX5 tested performed the best (both power and milage) on 91 premium - better than on 87, 89 and 93/4 all of which were tested. Another technical reviewer believed that the DI related carbon build-up will be less over time on premium vs regular.

The perfect next car for me, thanks for such a great review! Subbed… was on fence between this and CRV, this def the winner

Just purchased this Mazda but a new carbon turbo edition. Like your review so I don’t have to study the manual. Thanks

Looks gorgeous and sleek in machine gray ❤️👍

nice videos reviews its very informative details.ty

FYI. Ability to change to KMH on speedometer is a great feature for those who drive into Canada or into Mexico from the US. I live in San Diego and find that feature extremely useful when I drive into Mexico.

My aunt has 2022 CX-5 with 2.5 N/A engine. Pretty cool SUV. Great review as always. Greetings

Well done Mazda!💪 this CX-5 review was great!

I bought an Eternal Mica Blue 24 T.P in Dec when % from Mazda was 0% for 60 months. Blue with Black trim except for the badges and hockey stick window trim.. Y they didn't do all black trim is beyond me.. I really enjoy it, gas mileage is terrible. needs a 8 speed transmission to lower RPM's at 75mph to about 1800-2000 RPM. Love the sport mode, haven't really used it much, had a 14" snow storm and put it in offroad mode and the thing took off like I was driving a rally car.. Has it's pros and cons.. I'm liking the 0% the most.. Saved me close to 8k over the life of the loan.

Great presentation and detailled, km display is useful to come visiting Canada,

Excellent review keep it up

Great review! I’m thinking about switching my old Outback out for one of these.

Hey i enjoyed the video. Bought a 2024 cx5 signature in canada. Not sure if youre aware but for 2024 but the screen is touch-screen as long as youre in android or apple carplay mode. This is new for this model year. Also the swap between kph and mph is very useful for those of us that cross the Canada-US border frequently. And finally the signature trim does come with the 360 camera (as i use it)

Test drove a 2023 while checking out the cx90. I found the engine buzzy and im tired of blacked out interiors. Miss the days when a cars interiors matched the cars exterior or you had choicesof colors. Now its take what you get

Doing mod on mine this weekend, installing hood struts, hate the crappy prop rods...

Canadians love the chrome hockey stick on the side window trim.

for a good reference, maybe you could also mention your height while you demonstrate the leg room not only in this video, just for us to evaluate better about the spacing we can have for this model.

Thank you! I love Mazda! I have the Carbon edition non turbo, and wanted the turbo, but the car is still great. I'm debating if I should get this exact model and color you reviewed or try a Lexus NX 350 F Sport, as I love both car manufacturers. I think it's about time that mazda gives the option of a panoramic moon roof. Thanks for your amazing review!

It’s better to stick with premium fuel ⛽️ and 5W-40 oil change in every 5k since it’s turbo charged engine ! Nicely done bro I love Fairfax,Va Tyson corner the best state for living !!!

Just bought a 2024 CX-5 Signature Turbo. Great car EXCEPT for the radio/audio system. I can’t turn it OFF without out shutting off the Mazda Connect screen completely. And the audio STILL comes back on when I turn on the Connect screen (by pressing “home”). Same with turning car off and on: the audio comes back on. This is really weird (and a Mazda glitch). Am I doing something wrong?

Definitely Mazda CX-5 will be my first car

Your presentation is awesome dude.

Does it offer remote start via the key fob, or is this only available via the Mazda app on one's smartphone?

Does the infotainment screen have anti glare? I have a rogue and when its sunny i cant see a thingggg

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 also if anyone can help share what are your pros and cons with the vehicle. Thank you

Are you sure it’s possible to setup any feature for favorite button?? How to do it?

I wonder how much difference do u feel using premium fuel as opposed to regular fuel.

Looks awesome!

A concern I have is long distance driving. How comfortable is it on trips over 2 hours for example?

Amazing review! Which one would you pick between this one and the Audi Q3 Premium? Thanks.

I enjoyed watching your video on the mazda cx5 turbo can you test drive the acura RDX AWD and compare it to the mazda cx5 turbo and see which one would you choose personally please respond stay safe.

I have a 2016 so smooth some times when it's on I double guess if it's on that good

The transmission is an Aisin, one of the world's best.

I own a 2020 Signature. Hard to part with because there's nothing out there that drives for the price. It's almost perfect.

The screan actually do have touch now

Try keeping that gloss black scratch free

Hi I love your videos I changed my mind completely to the Mazda cx5 any Mazda

Excellent Mazda bro.

Well done 👍 😊

Remote start?

23:25 The Signature has a 360° camera system

sounds like you're trying to talk youself into buying one! I think its got a really combo of all the good stuff at the price.

What no one is pointing out is the terribly too thick window frames that block your view as you turn left. Couldn't Mazda make it thinner like in other vehicles???

surprised they don't have some led fog lights

Seeking twin turbo for CX 5 plus 8-speed ZF gear box😊.

I wonder is it piano black plastic or car paint?

can i assign the favourite button to waze?

Isn’t the infotainment system touch-enabled when on apple carplay / android?

Have to turn on the touch screen in the Bluetooth option settings.. should do better research before reviews

They look more like 18” rather than 19” wheels

What happened to the red stripes on the grill of turbo models???

Does Hud now show AA and Carplay nav directions now?

Maybe it's me but I feel like this vehicle has not changed visually in 10 years.

I think of buy a new 2024 Mazda CX-5 bro.

The looks nice but the rear end looks a bit dated now

No cvt and turbo is a reason I'm looking at this otherwise would be going subaru

It is touchscreen with carplay and android auto

I really do not get the attraction to this 'blacked out' look. I guess the appeal is for a vehicle to look clean and stealthy? Quite honestly, the last thing I want is to appear invisible on the roadway. You talk about the lines of this vehicle and how sporty it looks...well, it's kind of hard to really see that.

Isn’t the 2024 model have iStop Technology?

Is the turbo Worth the extra money is the question

So, none of the new Mazdas have a remote-starter? That’s insane, my 2008 Mazda 3 GT has one…it is imperative to have this in the North East winters. Fail.

Is this better than a Mazda cx 50 turbo? Seems like Mazda cannibalizing itself

No parking sensors in this trim level, unfortunately.

40k?? We all complained about the costs of EV so instead of lowering the costs of EVs companies just raised the price on ICE vehicles

I love it

Why would you need Km/hr available? Likely due to 99% of countries using that metric over MPH. If you travel… anywhere else…. Hence why in Canada we have ‘thinKMetric’ signs for individuals from the US that go significantly over the posted speed limit.

Great vehicle, but I wouldn't buy anything with a turbo engine + GDI from any automaker & keep it longer-term, for a variety of reasons.

360 camera?

HATE the no touch screen -

Am i the only one who doesn't like the front grill?

I thought this only comes in two colors as the exterior , unless this is not the carbon turbo but a trim higher than that..

Well, the fuel consumption is just high. Tnx for the review.

Why do you reviewers NEVER show the ease of or difficulty level of the navigation screens? You'll show everything else!!!

🔥💪

Quiet at 70mph??? Decibel reading??

LOL, compare Cx-5 to Rouge!🤣🤣

Subaru Outback XT - More room, more power, nicer interior.

So outdated inside the same thing over and over again. I'm surprised they can't come up with a new gage system...

Hot car and a hot guy 🎉

CVT= Crappy Vehicle Transmission.

$40k?....for THAT?🤣🤣🤣

$30k would be better

It's nearly 2024... There's no excuse for a tiny little suv like this to have such horrible gas mileage. Also, they still haven't molded the center display into the dash. Instant deal breaker. Nothing looks cheaper in a car than Mazda's center displays.
