My wife and I bought the first edition way back in late 2012 and we still have it 92,000 miles later. Prior to that we had the Mazda CX-7 (which sold us on the Mazda experience). Our Cx-5 is getting long in the tooth now and we're hoping to change vehicle later this year. I recently drove a 2022 CX-5 courtesy vehicle from our local dealership for a couple of days while ours 2013 model was getting serviced. It was the 2.5L with 186HP so 30HP and 30lbs torque better than ours. So, I got a good comparison of how the CX-5 has evolved. First thing I would say about Mazda having owned them going back to 2006 is in my experience they have great build quality and reliability. We've kept up all the maintenance services over the years and our CX-5 has never faltered once in nearly ten years of ownership. They are great daily driver for people that don't need the space of a midsize or large SUV. As Andrea pointed out the sporty handling and easy maneuverability are strong points. The steering is well weighted and it's easy to know where the wheels are pointed. If you like that overly boasted light steering feel look elsewhere. Some improvements and differences I noticed with the 2022 CX-5 courtesy vehicle over our 2013 are; The extra 30HP in the newer base engine is considerably peppier than our 155HP engine so the 2.5L with the 256HP must feel decently quick. The steering wheel leather is softer and more premium feeling, the seats are much better cushioned and more supportive, the material quality throughout the cabin and especially around the dash with the large info screen and more modern center console is a lot nicer. There's a lot less wind and road noise compared to ours and although the suspension is on the firm side with the newer models it's much smoother over bumps, road imperfections and expansion joints than our 2013 model. Although our CX-5 has the outdated touchscreen I still would rather a touchscreen or at least the choice of it and a rotary knob to use the info screen. The trunk space in the newer models is also noticeable smaller than the first generation. Overall if you enjoy driving, want a bit of sporty handling in a very reliable and upscale feeling small SUV it's hard to beat the CX-5. They may be a small company but with the CX-50, CX-70 and CX-90 on the way Mazda are continuing to put out very competitive vehicles. I just wish the new future models were coming out sooner!

I absolutely disagree with you. If Mazda is the boutique hotel the RAV4 is the Holiday Inn. I have driven both vehicles extensively. The RAV4 feels very cheap. The glass is thin and cracks very easily. I cannot express how noisy it is. Mazda feels expensive , quiet and composed. For build quality the Mazda takes the trophy; it is built in Japan! The RAV4 is built in North America. Even the Lexus NX is built in North America… and I am sure the NX is noisier than the Mazda as well. Some of the most unreliable vehicles built by Toyota used the 2.4L engine in the past.

Just wanted to thank Zack and Andrea for this channel. We bought a compact SUV in early January and used Motormouth and one other great KZread reviewer to narrow down our search. Especially enjoy their different viewpoints. We got a 2021 CX-5 Carbon Edition Turbo. Didnt get a '22 because in the US they dont offer the Turbo except in the highest trim lines, so we were able to get the Turbo for around $33k (US). That was important to my wife - she loved the way to the Mazda drove and the power of the Turbo, and that it was an affordable option to a X1/X3 or Q5. It seems with this review perhaps Andrea and Zack arent quite as positive on the CX5 for '22 as they were for '21? Is that because this generation is showing some age, or upgraded competition from the Tucson and the Rogue? Thank you Motormouth - really enjoy watching your reviews.

Andrea is the best!

My favs!

Too bad they don't have a hybrid. Prices of gas in Vancouver today are 1.82 per litre. RAV4 all the way for me hybrid.

Doesn't the premium fuel have to be 93 octane or better to get the HP difference? That's not just "Premium" and is hard to find.

Would love to see a comparison video of the CX-5 and the CX-50 when it comes out! Very curious to see what people have to say about the 50 Also how is it that Mazda still doesn't have a fully digital gauge? Nowadays I feel like cars still with analog gauges look a bit dated.

I have heard concerns and also believe there is a TSB bulletin on oil consumption with the turbo charged engines regarding the valve seals and there is not a fix yet

Thank you for letting us know that the turbo charged engines are having this problem.

I was looking to do my 2019 trade in for a 2022 but I see the cup holders are still behind the gear shift. It is so awkward to reach back to get your drink. You don’t use the gear shift as much as the cup holders. I guess I will hold on to my 2019;;I love my Mazda but my 2016 was better. If I had my heated seats on before turning my car off, it would come back on when restarted. My 2019 doesn’t, so it’s still cold when I go out. My visual screen was inlaid not stuck up luck a sore thumb

I just became a proud owner of the CX5 premium plus and there is no badging that states the trim level. I'm not really a fan but it is what it is.

Is the suspension really that firm?

@K it is firm but not overly firm. I'm coming from a 2020 Corolla XSE and honestly it feels pretty similar.

That's the beauty and understated confidence of Mazda. They don't need to slather their vehicles with stupid emblems.

I wish they had the badging on the car also.

Zack is wrong about the upcoming CX-50 being based on the current CX-5. The CX-50 is based on the newer 3/CX-30 platform with a torsion beam rear suspension, while the current CX-5 has an independent rear suspension and is based on the older Skyactiv platform that debuted way back in 2012 and heavily updated for 2017.

I had one as a rental. The Apple CarPlay wouldn’t work. It kept connecting and disconnecting constantly and everytime I had to go somewhere I’d have to enter a destination manually, which took forever.

great car!

Classy people shave their badges. Clean look.

How does the new Mazda CX5 compare to Lexus NX350?

Is 22 has huge difference over 21.5 cx5?

I wish the Turbo would come with the lighter Parchmen leather option. I don't like the Black or Brown, and its the only options on the turbo models.

Me too, I ended up leasing the Mazda CX-5 Premium Plus Package in the Soul Red Crystal metallic with the Parchment Leather seats. I really wanted the Turbo Signature for the power, beepers and navigation but I did not like the dark brown seats and the Turbo with the signature had black seats. Hence, I decided I just wanted a more airy feeling in interior which will make me happy. Hopefully in 3 years after my lease ends, the Turbo will allow a lighter Parchment Leather Option.

Very good video
