2019 Mazda CX-5 Signature | Blurring The Luxury Line
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 02. 2019
- For 2019 the Mazda CX-5 has improvements all the way around ranging from new GTR and Signature trim levels, enhanced chassis, powertrain, and interior materials. This CX-5 turbo provides more power than you need and a very smooth transmission on top of that. The Mazda CX-5 blurrs the line between luxury and mainstream with this top of the line Signature turbo trim. The only features you might wish for in this class that are missing include a foot activated liftgate and panoramic roof. Overall, the CX-5 is almost perfect but loses in the practicality department due to smaller cargo space and interior storage...but not by a lot.

Thanks for watching!
I just finished up with the bigger CX-9..see it here: czcams.com/video/tDk-dLhOv5s/video.html
I forgot to add the dB ratings: 69.8 dB on interstate at 75 mph and 71 dB on rough road at 55 mph.
Let me know what you think of the Signature CX-5 below! 👍
Here’s my 5 likes and dislikes video: czcams.com/video/ON36cmX0bHY/video.html
Honda 2.0T and 10 speed auto too good of a combination, Mazda needs to go back to the drawing board
S Saini hmmm and that is only for the Accord which is a sedan not an suv, so what is your point?

Mazda’s are the best. I have owned 4 and never any problems. They are so underrated
That’s awesome, glad to hear it! They really are...if Mazda was a bigger market company and had more dealerships...I think they’d sell right up there with the current top sellers
@@PrimeAutotainment Maybe the trick is to stay "small" or "compact" so that it's possible to deliver always reliability. If a company sells a lot of different products, that means they don't focus on just a few things but many things, which results in more problems.
Yeah, I've owned a Toyota RAV 4 and a Toyota Prius v wagon. Both had some problems so Toyota's are not immune to them.
is the CX-5 rear seats big enough for a baby seat?
Pierre-Richard Romain plenty
I’m looking to buy a used SUV. I’d been considering the BMW X1 for a long time, but seeing this Mazda CX-5, I’ve made up my mind. I currently drive an older Mazda 3 and it’s never let me down. Why change the brand now? Mazda is insanely underrated.
From most reports I've seen the modern European premium cars are no longer built to last. Not to mention you'll probably pay double or triple for any service on them
Thank you for sharing. I purchased CX5 Mazda Grand Touring loaded with technology. I pay $200 more for the white snow flakes. I'm loving it. Glad I made the right decision to buy CX5 Mazda. Very reliable Japanese cars
That’s awesome to hear! It’s a sweet vehicle and an awesome value for what you get. I’m actually considering getting one for the next vehicle. Enjoy! 😁👍
I waited until they came out with the signature series and bought it recently. I am 100% satisfied with this car and really enjoy the driving experience. Some things Mazda need to add/update: 1. Proper TPM system to display tire pressures, 2. Cup holders and system control knob should be switched as they are awkward if you have a water bottle, 3. Door arm rest is too narrow, 4. The parking brake is set to automatically turn on when you turn off the car, 5. Remote start, 6. Foot activate the trunk release, 7. Hydraulic hood supports, 8. Ambient lighting is very weak, 9. Improve the Apple Car Plan connection speed (takes about 2 minutes sometimes), finally, 10. Passenger seat memory settings. These are minor points, but, would really up their game to a different level. I enjoyed one comment where someone priced a BMW X3 with same options and it cost $19K more. Keep up the good work on the videos and in spite of my criticism here, I love this care so much. Thanks again.
Thanks for all the input Steve! I have the same complaints as you and it’s great to hear from an owner. Enjoy your CX-5! 👍
I love the CX-5. I told you last year I'd get one and I did. Mine is white and is the GT trim but in our country it comes without sunroof. It's a truly underrated SUV. Smooth and sexy. I like that not many are on the roads so it turns a few heads. Great review by the way 😉😁
I remember you saying that and that’s awesome! Good choice in the GT too..awesome trim. Thanks for watching! 😁
All GT's come with a sunroof! :)
I love this channel! One of my favorites. I just got me a 2019 GTR and I'm really liking it. Still learning all of the controls, but with your help it makes it that much easier.
I just bought CX5 sport AWD 3 weeks ago. Honestly, it is very good. It has all safety features needed and powerful engine. Definitely good at driving in snow. And it looks fashionable!
That’s great to hear! I’m glad you’re enjoying it and thanks for sharing that! 😁
This video has the car that I have that’s a toy but I already know it can drive in the snow because it needed a powerful engine and also knowing about it so much there’s no sunroof you can look out from it too on road
There’s LED lights that go left and right
Nobody knows about this car because he’s been talking about it forever. Also, we make recipes N CZcams the video part is when So I don’t know when you get this car right here it’s called the 2019 Mazda3
Excellent review and VERY thorough! I LOVED how you took the SUV for a test drive, used all of the functions, AND actually went above and beyond to explain them. Bonus that you had different types of weather also. Just a fantastic review overall, I really appreciate it! Thank you so much! Your in depth details really help me make decisions on my next vehicle to purchase.
Thank you so much! I’m glad it was helpful for you. If you have any questions I didn’t go over please feel free to ask. The CX-5 is really nice and leaves a good impression on me overall. The complaints I have with it don’t compare to the things I like about it. I appreciate the kind words!
I’ve watched several videos on this car and this is by far the best! Thank you!
You had a great idea here and I hope you might consider this in all your reviews. A dusk or night time shot of the front and rear lighting is something I've never seen in reviews before. I would also like to see the dashboard and possibly the interior with its night lighting. That would be awesome and unique to any reviewers I've watch. Go from great to complete!
Thanks Kurt! I will look to do more of that because I think it looks awesome too! I appreciate it
Great job with the review! Best Mazda CX 5 review I have seen yet. Keep up your excellent work and style of delivery! I plan on purchasing the Signature model this spring. Quite honestly, in some respects it is equal to and even better than some entry level (BMW, Acura) small SUV models; especially when you factor in the price.
Thank you so much, I truly appreciate it! No doubt...it packs quite a punch with those other entry level luxury brands which is awesome. Definitely an underrated vehicle with most consumers
we hired a Mazda 6 2 years ago in NZ and I liked it enough to consider Mazda as our next vehicle supplier. We considered it time to replace our nearly 10 year old Subaru Outback 3.6R Premium but the CX5 hadn't the power to compare with the Subaru till this turbo model came out. We now have the new CX5 turbo Akera (=Signature in north America) standing outside my house with 5 kms on the clock.
So July will be a great month to really explore the car's strong points
What a beautiful suv. Brilliant quality, may be even the best! Great review Nolan. :-)
Thank you very much! It was very impressive to me!
One of the best reviews, rich and informative
Susan McDowell thank you very much!
I’ve always been a fan of the CX-5. I drove a first gen model for a while and my sister still has her first gen. Mazda hit a home run with the 2nd gen and addressed most of the shortcomings I think. I wish it was a little roomier and the cargo area was a bit larger. I would give up a little driving dynamics for a panoramic roof though, especially in the Signature. The interior is beautiful and I agree with other’s that say it rivals the small luxury SUV’s. Overall, I feel it’s the best looking and most premium of all the compact SUV’s. If I were looking to buy, it would be between this and the Forester. I would take this over the BMW, Mercedes, Audi compact SUV’s as well. I think it looks just as premium as they do for less money and a lot more reliable. Great review!
Thank you as always! I agree with your points..as usual too lol. They did a good job and I think it deserves more attention from consumers!
@@NosyNick_ Lincoln MKC has a panoramic roof and I've found many positive reviews about how quiet the cabin is. The 2019 mkc model has active noice canceling however.
Just bought my first Mazda, 2019 Cx5 GT. Very impressed with it so far. Traded in my 2017 Honda CR-V because of all the oil dilution issues with its 1.5L turbo motor and poor cabin heating issues. I find this as a big step up in style, handling and performance
That’s great to hear! I was impressed with it as well! Thanks for sharing and I hope you continue to enjoy it 👍
How's the car holding up?
@@Genzo360 Had it for a year now. Handles great and so much passing power. No issues to date. My daughter liked it so much she bought one for herself
Love the O-Blank handles reference. 😉
Seems like a well-built crossover. I’m definitely gonna check it out for my next vehicle.
It definitely is! I don’t think it will disappoint
Damn seems like Mazda made an almost perfect suv with the cx5.
All it needs is the new mazda3 dash and infotainment system. And ill buy.
I traded my ‘14 Mazda6 iGT for a ‘19 cx5 sig and I have no regrets! 🤗
That’s awesome! You’ve got yourself a nice ride! 👍
Great review of the car man keep up the work :D
Thank you very much!
Great job on this review Nolan 😊
Thank you very much! 😁
Surprised Mazda did not go with the pneumatic rods on the hood but that could've been a sourcing/pricing issue. That's easy to change. My first review to check out from Prime Autotainment. Very well done and keeps me engaged! Time to check out the other videos!
Thank you very much, I truly appreciate it!
What are your thoughts about the 2016 Mazda cx3 awd gsl?? Thanks 😊
Doesn't cx5 use a cvt transmission ? I do like the exterior though
Hey Nolan, Great Review on this very pretty CX-5. You mention old days in the winter with small inclines and up hill starts. Man oh man with everyone in my area of Massachusetts living in the second most hilliest city in the world next to SF. I remember so many cars and trucks sliding back down or through intersections. We didn’t have radial tires and a lot of people couldn’t afford Snow tires. But you know what? It didn;t stop anyone from going out doing their thing. We didn;t have this “PANIC” we have to day when the 4 letter word is mentioned. And today we have at least Front Wheel Drive and mostly 4WD on the sport utes and people stay home and everything closes now. So different. Today our super market will be mobbed as we are expecting 4-8 inches this afternoon and night. I need to shop for the restaurant and I won;t be able to get in and out with out fighting mobs of people and parking so far away. It’s media that scares these people to death. “Don’t go out unless you absolutely have to” “good day to take off from work” All the schools in the area are already closed for a storm starting at 2pm. The build up of the storm on the media for a week in advance gets people scared. My favorite is a few times we had nothing happen at all and everything was closed for nothing. Lol
Haha man exactly! It’s crazy how it goes and you couldn’t be more spot in with the media. Same story here even if there’s a slight chance. You guys get it way worse than us but I had no idea it was that hilly there. Thanks for stopping by and hope you got your groceries 😁!
gene sounds like he's from Fitchburg!! I used to live there and weather there can make any driving very interesting!
Thanks for the video. I think I’m sold! This really helped!
Glad to hear it, thanks!
Informative and nicely done video Prime! Does the Signature top trim have any better suspension components than the lower trim models? When my 2017 Acura RDX lease is up, the Signature is on my short list.
Thank you very much! I know they revised the chassis for 2019 to better pair with the turbo but I’m not aware of any differences between the signature or others with that aspect. Sorry! It’s a sweet ride!
I have a 2018 Akera. Suspension is fine and comfortable just like every other car. It’s not like a metal tin can with stick rims and 2mm tyres lol cough cough Honda cough cough
Beautiful
I’ve had my 2020 CX-5 Grand Touring for a week - what an amazing car! You are right, the breaks do feel a bit soft, but the terrific handling totally makes up for that. I chose the Mazda over the Honda CRV because of headroom. I’m 5’ 9’ and I literally felt claustrophobic in the CRV! Deal breaker for me.
Awesome to hear, enjoy it 😁👍
Thank you for your thorough reply. I'm just glad Mazda isn't following the trend of Panoramic sunroofs. That alone will push me to buy the Mazda. I wish manufacturers would make this a stand alone option and not make it mandatory.
I hear ya! I don’t think they’ll change that anytime soon!
I think the brakes are a bit soft too when I first drove. But I realized I probably should bed them in a bit. It does have bigger rotors and twin pod calipers compare to the non-turbo models. Heat your brakes up and they do grab better.
Love my cx5 gtr
I have the Signature trim and it has so much torque that 6 speeds is plenty. This trans is a durable and proven design and I would rather have it than have a new unproven trans with 8 or more speeds. I bought it because it's powerful, fun to drive and has enough versatility and storage for a single guy like me. I priced out a 2019 BMW X3 with the exact same content and the price was $19,000 more. The BMW has an 8 speed trans and perhaps a better nav. Neither is very important to me. As far as the nav goes I don't need the latest and the greatest. I just want it to help get me to my destination. While the Beemer does get better highway gas mileage, but it requires premium fuel which eliminates the benefit.
That’s very true...the torque and smoothness is excellent. That’s wild that it cost so much more but I believe it. Mazda did great with the CX-5. Thanks for watching!
Robert Devoy Sig looks great, is the drivers seat comfortable for some over 6 feet tall?
@@oldtimer3824 I'm 5'8" and of course I have plenty of legroom, but I sit fairly close to the wheel, high, and upright. Even with the sunroof I have about 5 inches of headroom. I suppose it could be a bit of a challenge for someone 6'2" or more depending on how much you like to recline the back. I think with the seat cushion at it's lowest position most tall people will find it to be comfortable. However, before exiting I do lower the seat to the lowest position to keep from hitting my head the next time I get in. I then use the seat memory to restore my favored seating position.
Robert Devoy I agree exactly. I priced it out the same and BMW has poor dealer support and distance between agencies. I also matched up similar equipment on Acura MDX. A fun to drive car as well but not for the $10k more. Mazda has more reliability ratings than those two.
The massive console area is what that attracted me to buy this car. A thinner console area is a deal breaker for me.
man bro your channel rocks!! keep posting your great videos
Thank you so much, I appreciate it! 😁
sure bro, i was very surprised that when i found your cannel you only had 10k subs, iv seen channels that make crap have like 500k i think you'll get popular really fast @@PrimeAutotainment
tech talk I hope so! Thanks again! It’s growing more every month so I’ll keep at it! 👍
Of the various models in which Mazda deploys its turbo4 the CX-5 is probably the most appropriate. It also works well in the Mazda6 but the competition from the Accord's 2.0L turbo and the Toyota V6 is much tougher in that category. And in the CX-9 the turbo4 is up against V6 competition from virtually every midsize crossover except the Subaru Ascent. Considering that the CX-9 is among the largest vehicle in its class, that's a significant deficit.
The turbo4 in the CX-5 gives it a significant advantage over its competition in terms of performance. But that advantage comes at a price, of course. Driven conservatively, the fuel economy isn't bad. But take advantage of its performance and you'll pay for it at the pump.
The weakness of the CX-5 is the "U" in a "utility" vehicle. It's nowhere near as cramped compared to the competition as the CX-9 but the CX-5 isn't just "slightly smaller" in terms of cargo space. The Honda CR-V provides about 25% (!) more cargo space than the CX-5's 59.6 cubic feet. It fares better against some other rivals but the CX-5 still offers less overall cargo space than any other compact crossover.
That may not be a problem for those who want the look of a crossover but don't need the space a "utility" vehicle typically promises. And the CX-5's Signature trim is undeniably attractive. So it comes down to a battle between looks and functionality.
Excellent points and very well said! I agree I. The turbo pairing with the Cx-5 being the most optimal. And the cargo space....if only they could give us more of that utility without sacrificing too much design. Maybe they’ll do that next redesign..who knows. Anyways thanks for writing and thanks for watching! 😁👍
@@PrimeAutotainment Could be but I doubt it for a couple of reasons. First, the distinctive overall design of all three vehicles (CX-9, CX-5, and Mazda 6) results from an extremely long distance from the A pillar to the front bumper combined with the ratio of that distance to the rest of the vehicle. It's a design trick that automotive designers have used for nearly a century to suggest a vehicle's potency and performance, factors appealing to consumers, especially male consumers.
Second, the vehicles' relatively large (and long) engine compartments result from the massive exhaust manifold located behind the engine. That, in turn, is necessary for Mazda to achieve the turbo4's diesel-like low end torque rather than the typical peaky torque curve of a turbo engine.
At 199" long CX-9 is already among the longest midsize crossover. Providing more interior space would be difficult without adding significantly to that overall length. The CX-5 could be extended to improve interior space but that would mean turning the CX-5 into the CX-7, a "tweener" size crossover that Mazda already sells in non-North American markets.
is this washington?
Great job on this review
Thank you very much!
16 or 17 ft smaller boot? What are you comparing it to? A lorry?
Unfortunately in Europe there is no 2.5T version, only the 2.5 or 2.0 on gas and the diesel versions. I just ordered mine Sky Drive Privilege edition. It is an amazing car and glad I choose it. I was in between many models from Seat, Suzuki, Skoda or Hyundai but I stopped after I have seen this one. Btw good review
That’s a bummer but still, glad you got one! They’re very nice and impressive. Thank you!
included spare is nice. I got a nasty surprise after my last new car whn I found out that spares are not standard equipment now for many brands...
Dang no kidding, that would stink. It’s a shame
Mazda best car 👍
Mazda is the best
Good review. Good car. I wouldn’t gripe about the shifter taking up space because I like actual shifters compared to FCAs dial or Honda buttons. That’s me personally though.
Agree with you 100% on the shifter.
Thanks man! Yeah I prefer a normal shifter too. I think a lot of people do but what do I know lol. Thanks for watching!
Can you tell me what you guys think about a CX-5 with no AWD? (Mazda didn't release AWD with the Signature in Mexico)
I’ve never driven the FWD only model, but unless you encounter slippery situations, you’ll hardly know the difference. The AWD is FWD biased so it’s primarily a FWD vehicle anyways, unless it needs to power rear wheels for added traction. Plus...you’ll get better efficiency with FWD 🙃
Great review. I own a model 1 CX-5 from 2012 and I love it. No problems whatsoever. I going to sell it this year but I definitely go for a 2019 Signature.
Thank you very much. That’s awesome, it’s always great hearing from owners. The 2019 will not disappoint...it’s an amazing vehicle for the price!
It is an amazing vehicle but it’s a pity Mazda doesn’t sell the 2.5 Turbo in the Netherlands where I live. They only sell the atmospheric 2.5. I wish I lived in the states because the price for a Signature in the Netherlands is around $ 59,000 thanks to our great tax system based on CO2 emissions.
Ahh dang that’s rough! I didn’t realize that...but then again I’ve never been there. either way I’m sure you’ll love the new one you get
I currently have a 2016 Mazda 3 and a 2019 Cx 5 Grand touring.. I’ve had a 2018 cx3 a Mazda 6 Touring.. my first Mazda was the 2003 Mazda CX-7 that they no longer sale..I believe people are sleeping on Mazda because of the fact that Ford was involved some years ago.. but no longer.. it is a Japanese product now.. and needless to say very reliable.. all I have ever had to do on any model is brakes and an oil change.. 😇Hope this information is helpful to someone out there..

How was it comparing with cars with suspension like Avalon?
The Avalon smoothed our bumps better and overall felt softer and a bit more planted. The CX-5 still feels really well planted, especially with handling. It’s ok for softness and ride comfort, but not great. Certainly not bad either though. It doesn’t allow big stuff to really get rough like some vehicles but you can “feel” the bumps and imperfections a little more
Which color is this
We need more Lemon Pledge
Very thorough review --- I'm really keen on the CX 5. My only concern is that its 'reliability ratings' have been less than stellar (earlier versions, at least).
Thanks for watching! Yeah those are always something to consider. I haven’t seen or heard much about their reliability and honestly don’t think I know anyone personally that owns one..
Their reliability has jumped up quite a bit. most of the recent issues they have had have been related to infotainment issues which are still there, but not too bad. Mechanically, they are very reliable.
@@michaels7984 That's reassuring to know, thanks.
@@jhaupt47 no problem. We have actually owned 2 Mazdas. I had a 2012 6 and had no issues and we have a 2018 cx9 now, dont have a ton of miles on that yet, but so far haven't had any issues at all. The turbo has been out for a while too and seems to be pretty problem free. They are good, underrated cars.
I believe Mazda used to be under Ford and their reliability was trash. Now they're owned by a Japanese car company, and their reliability has improved so much that it's close to Lexus and Toyota.
Mazda the best
Does getting the cx5 turbo worth it? Is there a big difference compare to na
I haven’t actually driven the non turbo engine. This isn’t a super sporty engine...it’s quick but doesn’t make it feel like a race car. I would honestly probably go with the non turbo to save money and gas because that engine seems to still be adequate
Counterpoint, if you enjoy hp and torque the turbo is mandatory. Since I’m long in the tooth, I ask myself if not now when?
Hello, are you going to be reviewing the 2019 Forester (top trim)?
As of right now I don’t have access to Subaru but I’m hoping to soon! 😁
is the interior colour brown or black? it looks black to me....
It’s a really dark brown...an interesting color. Has a dark grayish tone to it also. Without much lighting it looks close to black
Was looking at this to purchase as a family car and was surprised they would put the rear charging ports in the center seat which of course will be useless when I have a child seat set up there. Really bad idea in my opinion. Should have just put it in the front center like most others I've seen. Thanks for this great review by the way. Very helpful while shopping for a new car!
I was thinking the same thing about the location of those...that would be irritating. Thank you and glad it was helpful!
does it have a tire pressure sensor?
Yes it does 👍
I really loved the Mazda CX-5 2019, however not roomy in back seat
That will quickly change with the CX 9
well it is a compact suv!
Hi everyone. I am going to buy Mazda CX-5 Gt. Should I go with black color or Metallic gray???? Please help me.
I’d go metallic gray, just me. I’ve owned 2 black cars before and move black but it only looks good when clean IMO
I did. I bought a gray cx5 , so happy👍👍👍👍thanks so much.
I wish SOMEONE would review this vehicle without turbo and all wheel drive
If you search you can find non turbo models. This is just what they gave me..
If you want your videos to be of informative value for other countries than Liberia, Myanmar and U.S.A., you could add metric translations in subtitles when giving dimensions... ;-)
Agree that the seats are hard to sit on.
Good review, very thorough compared to others on CZcams. The top two levels are LOADED! I bought the 2019 CX 5 GT Reserve in that beautiful Soul Red Crystal. With a tank of US $8.00/gallon 100 octane racing fuel this car is QUICK! But at that price I won't be doing that very often. LOVE this SUV.
->When the OEM 225 with tires wear out I'll replace them with 245/50/19 tires for even better braking and handling - and a bit less gas mileage. ->I already installed a K&N engine air filter for more "breathability" for that nice turbo.
VANITY BADGE: I installed a "2.5 T" chrome logo on the right rear tailgate just below the"SKYACTIVE" label.Why not? I want that entitled Volvo XC 40 driver to know what just passed him/her. ;o) Got the badge from Amazon.
That’s awesome! Glad to hear it and you’ve got yourself a sweet ride. Enjoy it 😁👍
❤😘
They upgraded the Backup camera in the new Mazda 3, so hopefully next year it'll come to the CX5 and replace that god awful one.
I suspect, given the 2019 3 is not even out yet, that once we have it out for 6 months to a year, and the bugs, if any, are worked out of the infotainment system, it will rapidly spread across the model lineup and almost every review seems to mention the current system as a big weakness
Great car. Hooooorrrrrrrible dealer service department.
Купил себе такую!
I like that color for sure, the tiny fog lights look gimmicky and I don't imagine them to be very effective. I think storage is ok, but I would still take the storage of the Rav for practicality reasons. I also like that Apple Carplay has been added. Overall, I still think this a sporty suv and I applaud Mazda for the goal. However, for me, practicality wins over sportiness for me, and for that reason my money remains with Toyota.
I know what you mean! I agree too and would like more practicality of it. Btw I’ve got an unconventional Rav4 video coming out this week. Not a full review but something like it 😉
I have those gimmicky fog lights on my car and I don't know what they did for those tiny lenses but they cut a wide swath of lower light in fog and snow. I was surprised. They are more than a gimmick and will certainly add to future styling of cars. Cargo volume the Toyota does win. Practicality is a bit more dicy. I like the 40-20-40 seats as I can carry 4 passengers and some long items. I particularly like the cargo cover attached to the rear hatch in the Mazda.
Thanks for the reply, Kurt G. It's always nice to hear from an owner when it comes to these things. If the fog lights are serving their intended purpose then that's great. I'm certainly not taking anything away from the CX as I was almost a buyer of it myself, but having been a Toyota owner for almost 4yrs now, I'm finding myself hard-pressed to leave it over simple sportiness and stylish lights alone.
22Kevi The NEW RAV4 is no slouch when it comes to handling. The new platform, suspension and AWD System makes for a nimble and responsive setup on curvy roads.
Wow, that backup resolution is inexcusable.
As long as it keeps me from hitting the car behind me....who cares.
Want that 2.5T Signature ... BUT ... NOT available in Europe...
Crazy Mazda Europe.... ALL the competition HAVE high-powered versions here. Why are we FORCED to buy a non-Mazda????
Ahhh that stinks! I didn’t know that, bummer!
🚘🚘🚘🚘👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🚘🚘🚘🚘
😁👍😁
Is too small interior much smaller then CRV. I wish this one would be longer at least 5,6 inches
Yeah CRV is hard to beat with space and practicality!
sounds like the grand tour is the middle ground
Yep that’s correct! Reserve and signature are higher trim levels now
The guys talked about the car understeering. This is 100% because of the dedicated snow tires. Snow tires are junk for steering response and overall handling. Not a good tire to review the car's driving capabilities.
This one has All-season tires standard here in the US. I saw the early test videos in Canada where they had snow tires..but not this.
I honestly thought it handled very well
Folding of the mirrors is not new. I got it on my 2018.
Are you in the US? Mazda says the power folding mirrors are new for ‘19. Manual fold was available before though
Sorry mate, I am in Asia. But in Australia and Asia they come with auto folding mirrors. @@PrimeAutotainment
Ok cool well that’s awesome that you guys have them! Thanks for writing in though, are you happy with your Mazda?
The start/stop technology was a deal breaker for me. Having to disable it every time I take a trip would become too annoying
That's not on my '18 CX5 Touring. I would never buy a vehicle with that 'feature'.
Fix the front end and add hybrid version and it has my money.
You say "compact spare tyre". Does that mean that it doesn't have a full size spare? By the way, it's not a Marrrzda. It's a Mazda.
I’m still torn Rav 4 limited or CX5. Mazda is faster and more stylish but no panoramic. Ugh
I like both choices! I haven’t been able to spend as much time with the new Rav4 yet. But good luck with your decision!

I’ve been in Audi’s, BMW’s, Mercedes, Cadillac etc. I can honestly say. Mazda drives and feels more premium than those vehicles. Except for the display software. BMW wins that. Better software, resolution display, and Bluetooth Apple Car Play!!

the exterior is nice, but mazda still needs to step up there game, example: hondas look a lot nicer, and for this outrages price you can get a lexus nx, which in my opinion looks buckets better than this here car
Styling is quite a personal choice. Comfort and ride is more analytical . The NX is smaller on the inside, doesn't handle as well and equipped to match is still $10K more than the Signature. For some reason Lexus thinks safety is an option. The Toyota brand is now bringing it to standard equipment without ordering the leather upholstery but not Toyota Lexus. Very odd.
hmmm, idk where you heard that obvious lie, cause the what it is, lexus, standard features, blind spot monitoring, forward collision assist, rear cross traffic assist, Vader cruise control@@kurtgrundel4045
true, forward collision and radar cruise control are standard but the blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic is an option. Please refer to the Toyota Lexus website. Auto dimming rearview mirror, leathers seats, Homelink and automatic wipers are an option on the Lexus yet standard on the Signature. Start adding those in and the price excels well beyond the Signature. Not a lie. Maybe reading could improve your information as well as your spelling.@@phillip4692
hmmm, spelling? that was auto correct, @@kurtgrundel4045
With that Tonka Toy Truck dashboard, noisy ride and so-so reliability? No thanks.
Yeah the dashboard is definitely unique and a love or hate lol. Thanks for watching!
Interesting view point, but the dash design is fantastic in that it is uncluttered, unlike the competition. As far as noise, it is the quietest in the class so there’s that! And Mazda just passed out Honda in reliability ratings (if that tells you anything)
Ford
Rather boring exterior.
