That color with the new interior looks awesome.

Picked up a '24 Turbo Signature in place of X3. Love the Nappa leather, 360° Camera(!), design, overall quality, and engaging drive!

Outstanding review! I am convinced that Mazdas are the best non-luxury (and non CVT) cars out there although many people say the drive and handling is comparable to luxury vehicles - close enough for us non-snooty people. The only other cars I am tempted by are the Ford Escape and the Volkswagen GTI but I keep going back to Mazdas. I wish they would come with a CD player - only Nissan is still doing that. My other concern is that the back seat don't lay flat and catch on the front seats. Someone commented on another review that you can remove the headrests and they will lay flat with the front seat adjusted for someone around 6 feet tall. Something that you might want to add to your reviews for your viewers in the northern tier of the country and Canada is that while Subaru is consistently rated the best for snow, Mazda is always a close second.

Man, I agree with this. All except the Ford Escape talk lol and it might be because my work has a Ford escape and I can’t stand it. And I think it looks cheap and boring! Just personal preference I guess lol

I have heard different things. Did it not drive well? Kinda clunky? I guess it has good power. I like the idea of buying American but the Mazdas are just so much better.

@@cbeech1631 it’s mostly the boring looks. Generic feel inside and out. And it’s a mid-level trim….Then when the vehicle shifts it always seems to be searching for the right gear.

Lots of people mention the CX-5 is outdated. I have a 2024 CX-5 Turbo Premium trim and I don't see how it is outdated in any significant way. It's not up to Tesla level tech but it's toe to toe with others in it's class like Rav4 CR-V. And Rogue. The infotainment system is newly updated to a 10.2 inch screen with wireless Apple car play and Android auto. It has a wireless charger. The sunroof is not panoramic but I actually prefer a non panoramic sunroof. Less to break and cooler in southern states like Florida. Has, ventilated seats, LED lights inside and out, rain sensing windshield wipers, directional headlights, the 2024 has USB-C ports. Mazda has been updating this SUV every year or so and really it has all the latest tech except for a hybrid option and of course it doesn't have anything like FSD.

You provide so much detailed and useful info, much better than everyone else out there, seriously.

Awesome job Kenny.

Great review Kenny! I know this is on the high side for pricing but it would be my choice. It has a premium look inside and out for sure. Hope that you are doing great!

Yes of course Kenny & this is my first vehicle.

Thanks to Mazda for giving us here in Europe engines without downsizing them. Great review as always. Greetings

I just leased a rhodium white 2024 carbon turbo i love it because it hold its own against compact LUXURY suv's very well on the road in looks & performance @ a much lower price!

Great job

Mazda has been impressing me.

Top shelf look at the CX5. I agree the NA in the the 3 is plenty and the Turbo is more than enough. But it's required here. Nobody likes that sluggish feel. Although i have not driven the this in either iteration. 👍🏻👍🏻

Heads up display doesn’t work well only with polarized sunglasses, works fine with non-polarized/ regular glasses and sunglasses. I have the CX5 signature.

I hear the glove compartment finally has a light. Wow.

I rented the cx30 awd turbo, lol, that car was a sleeper.

I just bought this, and it makes my 2017 GT feel harsh and unrefined, in comparison.

All review's that I see on Mazda's are good, but no touchscreen is what everyone complains about.

Cx5 is Better than Toyota Rav4

I have the 2024 CX-50 with the regular 2.5 liter 4 cylinder engine. Performance wise, it’s basically identical to the RAV4 that I traded for it. Now styling wise, the my CX-50 looks WAY better than the RAV4s.

The crv quality is good, but it's a slug and no fun to drive. The cx5 looks a lot better, drives better, it's quicker. Important: quiet ride and comfortable for long drives.

That is not an LED turn signal. 😂. The CX-5 is a great car, it's just stale

I still don’t understand why Mazda came out with another trim level for the vehicle. It’s extremely outdated.

All CX-5 Turbo trims fill different niches and have been improved every year (incl 2024). After shopping around vs other cars that provide similar driving engagement (like X3, RDX, GV70, etc), the CX-5 holds it's own but at a lower price point. Others are mentioning Toyotas, CR-V's, Koreans, etc, but they don't provide the driving experience which I value (neither does CX-50). So, no it's not outdated but has aged like a fine wine with annual relevant improvements. For buyers wanting largest screens, etc but no 'feel', etc., there are plenty of options, just not the Zoom Zoom.
