2021 Mazda CX-5

My 2021 Mazda CX5 signature from Clutch.

PROS

Ride and Handling

Turbo powered 2.5 L engine. Love Mazda’s automatic transmission.

Seat Comfort

N/A

Technology and Entertainment

Heads up display, wireless carplay

Interior Space

Is average

Value

It was a 2021 model with only 23000 kms on it, top of the line priced reasonably

Fuel Economy

Is average.

Styling

Love the sleek design of Mazda. They mature nicely. Doesn’t get outdated too quickly.

Reliability

Like any Japanese cars.

CONS

Technology and Entertainment

2021 models are two types- one type till Aug of 2021. They come with smaller 8” screens compared to the 10” that comes in the second half. But you get wireless carplay. However the UI is laggy and restarts sometimes.

Interior Space

Feels a little claustrophobic. The interiors use the most premium materials like Napa leather. But the sleek design outside makes inside feel a little smaller. This is a personal opinion.

Fuel Economy

Power comes at the cost of fuel. Low mileage compared to other makes.

2018 Mazda CX-5

Mazda CX5 An all round winner

PROS

Ride and Handling

Everything is in great condition.

Seat Comfort

There is a slight cabin noise when you drive very fast on the highway but otherwise unnoticeable.

Technology and Entertainment

Love the blind spot monitors, lane departure warning

Interior Space

I love the space in the front. Back is a little tight but okay.

Value

My car is bang for buck. I paid around 23k (pre taxes for this car).

Fuel Economy

It performs exactly at par of what Mazda claims. I get around 9.4l fuel efficiency (highway and city combined)

Styling

I have always loved the exteriors and interiors of Mazda cars. The 2018 CX5 was a no brainer. Kudos to clutch for making sure the interior was spotless and as clean as new.

Reliability

Have faced zero issues with the car since the day it was delivered to me even though I bought it a a mileage of 91k km. I’ve driven it for more than 25km now in 8 months.

CONS

Fuel Economy

It’s great but not as great as competitors primarily because they have a smaller engine

2022 Mazda CX-5

WONDER DRIVE

PROS

Ride and Handling

Excellent is just one word to describe the way it responds.

Seat Comfort

homely comfort? That's what comes to my mind in comparison, when I sit on my sofa at home

Technology and Entertainment

Reliable and very well designed with passenger safety as its prime consideration. With no bells and whistles to distract you from driving safely.

Interior Space

More than adequate for our needs.

Value

Have been a Mazda user for over 10 years and this is our 3rd Mazda. Mazdas are feature rich and reliable, apart being competitively priced. The drive is always peppy and you can feel its response in every aspect.

Fuel Economy

For my driving schedule it's more than satisfactory.

Styling

It's technology presented artistically - to say the least.

Reliability

Following the maintenance schedule of the user manual is more than adequate to ensure your wallet remains intact. With my earlier Mazdas, the annual maintenance was always low and hopefully this one too will not disappoint me.

CONS

Interior Space

I wish the trunk was a little bigger.

The driving assist is super helpful.

Interior Space

Plenty of room for what you need.

Value

Great value for the money.

Fuel Economy

Great on gas!

Styling

Great looking car, especially with the 19” wheels!

Never fails to get me where I need to go!
