Worth It? | 2023 CX-5 Premium & Premium Plus Differences 

Thanks for the very informative video.

My 2019 Touring with technology package is just fine for me. Plus it has Bose and power lift gate 😄

So excited for your 2024 version of this

Good information about differences!

CX5 has the best exterior design in the industry. Hopefully Mazda removes the rear wiper blades on the redesign CX5 and gives us a better bigger infotainment screen/digital gauge cluster. The CX5 has the potential to be a coupe version to fight X4, QX55, GLC Coupe

Morning Jon from a rainy morning in Orange NSW 🇦🇺

I have the 2022 Signature. I love everything about the vehicle except for the gas milage. I guess it's true that you can have power or fuel economy, but not both. I can't wait to see what the new CX-70 brings. Hopefully, Mazda will keep the price reasonable. Thank you for the video.

I love my 2022 premium plus. Not even gonna split hairs with the 2 Mazda models in this video. Bar none, I would rather have this vehicle for the price than a Lexus, BMW, or Mercedes. Again, this is taking into account what you get for your money. My only beef with Mazda is our lack of colors, our way of trying to set ourselves apart. It's a west vs east mindset, but maybe the simplicity of models, colors, and option packages also keeps production cost down. Thus one hell of a vehicle for one hell of a price. Now, this is coming from someone who's not trying to keep up with the Joneses, so the cx5 is by far the best bang for the buck in my opinion. Problem is, I'm starting to see more, and more, of them in my area. I loved being the early adopter. Not anymore :). Side note. I wanted to get the CX50, but timing didn't work out with the end of my last lease. I'm actually kinda glad. First CX 50s to hit our area were scarce and suffered from dealer mark up. They seem to have leveled out and are more available. Hey, everyone has different tastes. This is my 6th Mazda. Love them. I even turned my chevy loving wife into Mazda fan. Sorry about the rambling. Zoom. Zoom. And to all of the critics out there, I love the steering feel. Old, fat gut from PA :).

i just viewed your video on 2020 grand touring and grand touring with GT package. both that video and this one are informative. i am a retiree and won't drive very much, so i am debating to buy a cpo 2020 grand touring with GT package or a new premium plus. i can tell the new car has a bigger infotainment screen now. are there other things which are different between the 2 versions? thanks.

I have a '22 black PP...worth the extra $$$ for the Bose and PL at the time. The ventilated seats are pretty awesome...really help out in the summer heat.

The ONLY thing my 2019 Grand Touring RESERVE CX-5 does not have is paddle shifting. I have 4 heated seats, ventilated front seats, heated steering wheel, heated mirrors, heated wipers, power folding mirrors, heads up display, navigation, BOSE 10 speaker system, backup warning, etc. So yeah, a Premium PLUS in 2019 for $35,800. I added many MAZDA and other aftermarket features like C-5 lighted doorsills, roof racks, interior brushed aluminum dress up details, gas strut hood props, 245/50/19 tires (Michelin Cross Climate 2) CORK SPORT intercooler, turbo pipes and crankcase oil vapor collector. TOP THAT!

GREAT Review! Do these have WIRELESS Apple Carplay/Android Auto? Thanks!

I put a deposit down last week. Picking vehicle up this weekend. Now I’m reading about the Toyo tires and getting bummed out. Are will it be fine? It’s a lease. Cx5 23 premium.

Can you show using the radio controls with 2 large McD cups in the holders? Wondering if the cups/straws in the way?

Does the premium trim have wireless charging and is it wireless CarPlay?

If I have the heat on, why would I pay extra for a heated steering wheel that's only heated in 2 spots?

Hi Jon! I bought a 2023 Premium last year November, without the Bose or Powerlift gate, but I really wish I had them. Anything i can do? Can I get them upgraded or credited? Can I submit a complaint? 😱

So, are the LED DRL on these the separate L shaped lights only, or does Mazda still (sadly) use the main LED headlight projector as the DRL as well?

When we will see presentation of new cx-90?

Does the premium plus have passenger power seat?

Hmm... but what are the differences between the features you get with the CX-5 Premuim Plus and the CX-50 Premium Plus?

The windshield driver never works . If it actually does work its so slow it's useless .

MaZda starting to name their cars like apple phones.

i dont think it's worth it...

I was so glad when I got rid of my Mazda with the terrible infotainment screen control system. It's a complete abomination. It is NOT a touch screen I traded it for a Toyota with a touch screen. WHAT A JOY! I can now do everything in 1/10 of the time and much more safely. Also, unlike Mazda, you can shut the lights off ANYTIME you want to. Off on the Toyota light switch really means off. Mazda makes you look like a sissy by driving around with your lights on during the daytime, which two government studies have shown does absolutely nothing for safety. It's just a decoration.
