Very popular in Russia Japanese cars. These machines are in demand not only in the Eastern, but also in the Western part of our country. We also have crossovers. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Mazda CX-5 can be found on the roads. It's compact japanese crossover, first presented to the public in 2011 as part of the Frankfurt Auto Show. Serial production of the model was launched in 2012. Assembly is carried out in several places:
- In Japan.
- Malaysia.
- Russia (city of Vladivostok).
But is the 2017 Mazda CX-5 crossover so good? Owner reviews, disadvantages and advantages of the car - later in the article.
Appearance
This crossover was the first in the Mazda line, the design of which was developed according to the Spirit of Movement ideology. But no matter how the manufacturer exaggerates, outwardly the car looks like an ordinary crossover. In fairness, it is worth noting that the Mazda looks very dynamic and bright. Front - branded grille with chrome trim and lensed optics. The bumper has a neat trapezoidal cutout for air intake. Also on the body you can see plastic protective pads. They are on the thresholds, wheel arches and at the bottom of the bumpers.
A year ago, the Japanese released a restyled version of the crossover. Needless to say, she looks amazing. As noted by the reviews, the car instantly attracts the views of others. Previously, only Tesla practiced such a design. So, the car received squinted LED optics, and the body lines became more strict. The designers also focused on the wheel arches. They are now more pronounced, which gives the crossover a muscular and taut look.
What do owners reviews say about the quality of the Mazda CX-5 metal? There are no shortcomings regarding anti-corrosion protection. Reviews say that the body does not rust. There is not even a hint of "redheads". But there are complaints about paintwork. It's pretty thin. After a year of operation, chips are already appearing on the front. Moreover, there is such a problem both on pre-styling and on new models.
Dimensions, ground clearance
The car is not too big, which is a plus for the city - the reviews say. The length of the body is 4.54 meters, width - 1.84, height - 1.67. Value ground clearance- 21 centimeters. It's pretty good, the reviews say. The car feels confident in winter and on light off-road. Despite such an angular bumper, the crossover rarely catches them.
Salon
The interior is made in the corporate style of Mazda. This is a three-spoke, compact multifunction steering wheel, seats with pronounced lateral support and a dashboard consisting of three separate wells.
After restyling, the Japanese changed not only the appearance, but also the interior. How it looks now, the reader can see in the photo below.
The cabin has new airflow deflectors with chrome trim, and the steering wheel has also changed slightly. The multimedia screen is now integrated into the panel and can be folded if necessary.
Among the advantages, reviews note:
- Good ergonomics.
- Quality of finishing materials.
- Comfortable seats.
- Availability of free space.
Does the Mazda CX-5 crossover have flaws and weaknesses? Reviews say that a strange bounce appears during the ride. As it turned out, the reason consisted of several elements. So, side windows were not fixed rigidly in the ajar position, due to which there is a backlash. This is what caused the weird noise. Another weakness- It's a sealant. It has a special shape, due to which insufficient holding force was provided. But on new machines, these "sores" have been eliminated.
Another reason why an incomprehensible rattle arose in the cabin is a weak tightening of the frame fasteners. windshield. So, with the deterioration of the quality of the road surface in the cabin, more and more bounce appeared. The issue was resolved under warranty.
Trunk
In a five-seater version, the car can accommodate up to 403 liters of luggage. Folding of a back of a back sofa is also possible. As a result, the volume luggage compartment increased to 1560 liters. Under the floor is a full-size spare tire and a stock tool kit.
What are the disadvantages of the Mazda CX-5 in 2018? Owner reviews say that during operation you may encounter a malfunction of the trunk lid lock. The reason was the moisture that formed in the cavities of the lock, usually after a high pressure washer. The issue was resolved under warranty. So, the owners not only replaced the lock, but also installed a special waterproof gasket on the button.
Specifications
For this crossover, several engines are provided. Among them - two petrol and one diesel.
In the basic configuration, the car is equipped with a two-liter Skyactive engine with direct fuel injection. Maximum motor power - 150 Horse power. I must say that this engine is atmospheric. And the engineers achieved such high performance thanks to the upgraded injection and increased compression ratio (on all engines of the Skyactive line it is 14: 1).
Among the advantages, reviews note acceptable acceleration dynamics and high fuel efficiency. So, up to a hundred, a crossover with a base engine accelerates in 8.9 seconds on the mechanics and half a second later on the machine. And the maximum speed reaches 184 kilometers per hour. Fuel consumption - from 6.2 to 6.7 liters in the combined cycle, depending on the installed gearbox.
In the top configuration, a 2.5-liter engine with 192 horsepower is available. This engine generates 256 Nm of torque. With it, the car accelerates to hundreds in 7.9 seconds. In tandem with this agergat, an uncontested machine works. Max Speed- 194 kilometers per hour. Fuel consumption in the combined cycle - 7.3 liters.
The diesel line is represented by only one unit. It is also built using Skyactive technology. So, with a volume of 2.2 liters, it develops 175 horsepower. Torque - 420 Nm. Works with this engine too. automatic transmission gears. Acceleration to hundreds takes 9.4 seconds. The maximum speed is 204 kilometers per hour. Fuel consumption - 5.9 liters per 100 kilometers in mixed mode.
Nuances and problems on engines
What are the disadvantages of the Mazda CX-5 engines? Reviews say that the oil seal wears out quickly on these engines crankshaft. It serves up to 100 thousand kilometers. The same goes for the thermostat. It may become unusable already on the second timing belt replacement. After 80 thousand kilometers, the owners were faced with the failure of the ignition coils.
Among the nuances, it is worth noting the fact that engines are demanding on fuel quality. This applies to both diesel and gasoline units. Indeed, in both cases, a complex direct injection system is used. In order for the motor to serve for a long time, it is also important to service it on time. Once every 10 thousand kilometers, the oil and filter are changed. The manufacturer recommends using only original consumables. If we talk about the shortcomings, "Mazda CX-5" 2017. will be expensive to maintain. This applies to both repairs and consumables.
We should also talk about the i-stop system. It allows you to automatically turn off the engine during idle time (for example, at a traffic light or in a traffic jam). This not only reduces CO emissions, but also reduces fuel consumption by up to 7 percent. But what are the disadvantages? In the Mazda CX 5, the battery was quickly discharged because of this. This was especially true of the first batches of cars. At the same time, she herself intelligent system stopped working when the voltage was below the level.
Chassis
The front of the crossover has a MacPherson strut suspension. Behind is a multi-link design. What does the "Mazda CX-5" 2018 have. disadvantages regarding the suspension? Owners complain about the rumble that occurs when hitting bumps. What is the cause of these knocks? The problem was in the bearing housing. It is quite fragile and breaks frequently. From this, the owners heard an incomprehensible roar in the front. But on models made after 2013, this problem has been fixed from the factory. And on all early models, the bearings were changed under warranty. These are all the shortcomings of the Mazda CX-5 in terms of suspension. As for the rest chassis raises no objections. The car drives great. Yes, and the suspension itself is energy-intensive.
Complete set
Total for this vehicle four configurations are provided. Among them, the basic "Drive" includes:
- Six airbags.
- Multiwheel.
- Cast wheels.
- Electric mirrors and power windows.
- Air conditioner.
- Halogen headlights.
- Fabric salon.
- Various security systems.
The Supreme Deluxe Edition includes:
- Leather interior.
- Company acoustics.
- Light and rain sensors.
- Dual zone climate control.
- Cruise control.
- Seven-inch multimedia center.
- Power and heated seats.
As an option, LED adaptive headlights can be installed on the Japanese crossover. The cost of the option is 45 thousand rubles.
Conclusion
So, we found out all the advantages and disadvantages of the Mazda CX-5. In general, this is a good compact crossover that will appeal not only to family people, but also to young people. After all, the car combines several qualities at once: a sporty look, a large trunk, economical and fast engines. Therefore, despite some shortcomings, the Mazda CX-5 is in great demand on the Russian market.
However, there are practically no reasons for panic left: those "sores" that were noticed behind the crossover are eliminated by the manufacturer quite quickly, and the restyling of the CX-5 left practically no serious reasons for complaints. At least, according to our familiar owner of such a model and, of course, warranty engineers and mechanics at a number of dealerships and services serving Mazda.
Weak battery. i-stop system failure
i-stop is Mazda's automatic engine stop and start system. It turns off the engine at traffic lights or when stopped in a traffic jam, helping to save fuel and pollute the environment less (according to the manufacturer, the average fuel consumption is reduced by 7-10% due to the operation of the system). However, in the first batches of cars, the system quite quickly "landed" the car's battery - cases of warranty replacement of a very weak, as it turned out, factory battery were not uncommon. At the same time, the i-stop system itself stopped working when the battery charge dropped to a certain level.
The easiest "folk" way to deal with a rapidly dying battery is, oddly enough, not to use the i-stop system. Some owners simply made it a habit to turn off the system from the button as soon as they start the car (if you turn off the engine, the system automatically reactivates), or almost depress the brake pedal when stopping, thereby deceiving the system. However, the majority still rightly decided that the money for the system was paid, which means it should work.
The manufacturer did not argue. According to the specialists of one of the dealerships, referring to a technical bulletin issued by the company, a certain minimum charge level is required to activate the i-stop system. battery. However, during operation, the battery may begin to process sulfation (the formation of lead sulfate on the plates during the discharge, which prevents the movement of electrons and reduces the ability of the battery to accept a charge). Because of this, the battery does not charge to the level necessary for i-stop to work.
To cope with the problem, the manufacturer not only began to install other batteries, but also changed the battery charge management program and the i-stop system. The minimum value of the battery state of charge required for the i-stop system to work has been reduced from 68% to 65%, and the software control over the battery charging process has been increased when the charge drops to 75% and below. So if your i-stop refuses to work in good faith - run to the dealer!
Dead zone monitoring glitch
RVM is a blind spot monitoring system from Mazda that, with the help of rear bumper The sensor monitors the cars hiding behind the CX-5 and warns about them using indicators in the side mirrors, and when changing lanes, also with an audible signal.
A useful item of additional equipment became at the same time one of the most common problems of the early Mazda CX-5: on the first batches of cars, the system often worked unstable, or rather, did not work at all. The system indicator, which, in theory, should be green, turned yellow, which meant a malfunction. The problem lay in the incorrect software, which, as the officials say, was updated as part of a specially organized recall campaign. After flashing the RVM control unit, the system of CX-5 owners no longer bothered.
Hood vibration
Many CX-5 owners have been uncomfortably baffled by the fact that the hood on their cars has a life of its own - vibrating a lot, especially at high speeds - which, of course, can open at speed. “You have to look at the road, not at the hood,” those who have not noticed anything like this behind their car notice. And someone jokingly advises lowering the seat so that you don’t see the hood at all.
Official dealers reassure: the hood from its rightful place will not go anywhere and does not plan to open. But the problem, as it turned out, is not far-fetched. The outer panel of the hood is attached to the power frame by welding only at certain points, and the rest of the area is attached using a special sealant. In the early years of production, as dealers explain, this sealant was used in insufficient quantities. As a result, during operation, some sections of the frame peeled off from the hood panel, as a result of which the latter lost some rigidity and began to "walk". In later production, this was taken into account, and more sealant was used when gluing the hood. The dealer solved the problem under warranty, so if such a problem suddenly appeared, it makes sense to contact the officials. Well, the popular method is to glue the hood with soundproofing materials - they say this also helps to get rid of vibrations.
Rattle in the cabin
“It was like that, it rattled and rattled at first, like a bucket of bolts, and it’s generally a disaster with open windows. But the dealer fixed everything in the end,” says the owner. The problem, it would seem, is very abstract: a variety of crickets live in the salons of the most different cars. However, in the case of the CX-5, this sore has very specific outlines and sources. In most cases, annoying rattling is emitted by glasses (more precisely, their surroundings) and body elements in the bowels of the dashboard.
In the first case, many owners noted that the side windows do not want to be rigidly fixed in the ajar position, they play a little and because of this they rattle unpleasantly while driving. The problem, according to dealers, lay in the shape of the seal, which provided insufficient holding force. The manufacturer took into account customer complaints, and as a result, changes were made to the design: the shape of the seal profile was revised, and literally in the second year of glass production they stopped annoying the owners. However, as the officials noted, quite recently this problem again made itself felt, but for other reasons. Mazda organized a small recall campaign for a small batch of vehicles that had unsuitable primer used in glass installation. It can also provoke the appearance of extraneous sounds. By the way, because of this problem, not only the CX-5 crossover is recalled, but also the Mazda6 sedan.
The second reason for unpleasant rattling sounds, as our interlocutors assured dealer centers, rather trifling: on the first released batches, they miscalculated a little with the moment of tightening the bolts of the windshield frame, which could rattle the more, the worse the quality of the road surface. In the case of the client's request, the bolts were stretched, and the manufacturer subsequently introduced enhanced control over the observance of the tightening torques of the bolts during production.
Knocks in the front suspension
Literally drove two thousand kilometers - the muzzle began to rumble on any bumps, as if something would fall off there now. But during this time I didn’t even leave the Moscow Ring Road even once. At first I thought that it was just the short-stroke suspension that worked like that, but then I realized that it was still crazy," says our friend, the owner of the pre-styling CX-5.
Actually, at first the officials also said so: they say, the short stroke of the front shock absorbers, a design feature. However, the knocks of the front suspension on bumps turned out to have completely different reasons. Over time, it was found that knocks and squeaks are heard from the installation point of the support bearing front shock absorber. It turned out that the housing of the bearing itself could not withstand the long-term load and gradually broke down, causing unpleasant sounds. In 2013, the bearing was modified - more precisely, the material from which its body is made and the technology of its production were changed. The new bearings were installed on customer request and also appeared on new CX-5s released after 2013.
Trunk release button stuck
“Yesterday, the lock was dismantled in the Genser, they found frozen water!!! They cleaned it, dried it, started working, two questions: how the water got in, and what it affected, they didn’t understand yet, they wrote a request to the MMR, they said to replace some part (when he arrives from Japan, I’ll tell you which one, because they themselves don’t really understand much and get confused in the testimony),” a user A&M said on the cx-5.ru forum. As statistics show, the problem with souring contacts of the trunk button in Russian operating conditions is common.
As part of our rubric, we came across a similar one, for example,. The Mazda CX-5 faced the same difficulties. The manufacturer initially overestimated the resistance of the castle to moisture: one contactless car wash it was enough for water to penetrate into the body of the lock, which brought its own orders there - oxidation of the contacts - and then the failure of the lock.
The solution to the problem was found very quickly: in case of a request, the lock is changed for the client under warranty, additionally installing a waterproof gasket on the button, and later this gasket began to be installed on production cars.
Of course, the owners of classmates-competitors can gloat and be in full confidence that they definitely made the right choice and bought the most reliable and trouble-free car. But perfect cars does not exist - and the fact that your favorite model has not yet appeared in this section means only one thing: we just haven't gotten to it yet.
Shumka say is rather weak, and the machine tupit. And so, an ordinary SUV, like the same IX35, for example, or kia sportage. Well, economical in terms of consumption. Nothing else special.
Mazda CX-5 2.0 AWD AT 2012
OVERALL IMPRESSION
Average car.
ADVANTAGES
Beautiful, compact, fast.
LIMITATIONS
The automatic transmission switches gears with a delay of 1.5-2 seconds, on steep climbs four-wheel drive does not work, the driver's seats are not comfortable, it is not possible to lay out on a flat surface, the front door handles are covered with cloth, it is impossible to clean from dirt, there are no automatic transmission tuning programs at the service station, maintenance is expensive, gasoline consumption is high, components are expensive.
Hello. Bought CX-5 in May 2013 mechanic front-wheel drive, engine gasoline 95, mileage 41000 km. In terms of consumption - the declared consumption is calculated for a quiet ride according to the rules and without traffic jams - city - 60 km / h, highway - 90 km / h. (gear shifting at 2000 rpm). Well, and some other factors, such as terrain, wind, etc. The first year (summer, autumn) 11,000 km is a calm ride, more city, cf. consumption 6.9 liters. During the winter, it increased to 7.5 liters (city, with no big exit out of town). Now 7.6 liters, but over the summer it usually drops by 0.3-0.4 liters. (- warming up, + more driving outside the city).
Last year I traveled with friends from St. Petersburg to Smolensk (+ there in the region) about 1800 km. complete machine people and luggage clothes. The consumption turned out to be 6.0 liters (there was a traffic jam on the highway ~ 3 km, we drove for about an hour), the speed was no more than 100 km / h. Before that, there was our auto industry and two three rubles. The three-ruble note had more consumption, although it was lighter and had a 1.6-liter engine (106 horses). There are not big (for me) shortcomings. Noisiness is about the same as that of a three-ruble note (not particularly annoying). There is a cricket at the right pillar, but before the cabin warms up (I think our assembly affects, the panel on the rack is slightly crookedly fixed). I would like to have a heated wiper area as standard. Mazda stubbornly refuses to put normal roof rails. In general, I am very pleased with the car, I am especially pleased with the expense, I did not expect it from a crossover. There are no complaints about running. Love the maneuverability, turn 90 degrees. you can enter at 50-60 km / h .. Acceleration is also good if you turn the engine. There were complaints about the flash drive, I can say that,
if the flash drive is not pulled out of the USB, then after starting the engine, the last played song continues (for me). Also, if you record all the songs in one folder, you can use the RDM button to randomly select songs. While all.
A little more than three years have passed since the purchase of the Mazda CX-5. Initially, I really liked it, but over time I began to notice flaws - and realized that its cost was too high (by the way - I have the maximum configuration with a 150-horsepower engine and an "automatic"). I'll start with the good. CX-5 pleased with good handling and dynamics (and this despite the fact that it is quite economical). In winter, when driving around the city, it consumes less than 10 liters, and on the highway - even 8 liters. The design can also be attributed to the advantages of the car. I think it looks attractive and modern. In addition, I liked the level of sound insulation. extraneous sounds if they penetrate the cabin, but only at very high speeds.
Now for what I didn't like:
- First of all, I was upset by the visibility - here, to put it mildly, it leaves much to be desired.
- The dipped beam does not do its job well.
- The internal decorative trim began to rattle noticeably shortly after the purchase.
- Weak windshield (I had to change it twice during operation).
- With the quality of the paintwork, too, not everything is as good as we would like.
- The lack of heating of the “steering wheel” is also upsetting (I remind you - in maximum configuration). I believe that this feature should be mandatory in our country.
Mileage 22000km. The first 3 months to the OD as a job. We eliminated the shoals. I bought a car at a discount of 100,000, this is the only pleasant thing.
- stalled at the factory in sub-zero temp. with a fight they changed the firmware. good now.
- drives the seat lowered. changed. did not help did it myself.
- the tailgate was closed from the fifth time. repaired.
- in the cold, the generator belt whistled. The frosts passed, the whistle passed.
- fogging headlights. OD said everyone will change the drops.
- an increased oil level of 1 cm. Benz gets into the oil. A design feature in winter.
- front strut anthers changed twice.
- windshield. lasted 3 months very fragile. replacement by helmet.
- music reads flash drives as she wants.
- Winner of everything. a year later, in winter, the interior of the car turned into a music box. VAZ 09 is quiet compared to the CX-5. To put it mildly, the guard of a car for more than a million.
- dynamics from three thousand. the machine tends to 6th gear.
- knocking when the wheels are turned out. od does under warranty.
- the most annoying thing at 22,000 with a quiet ride, the automatic transmission began to pull and when accelerating and vice versa. The stove takes a long time to warm up the interior.
Other than that it's a good machine. Every day you expect a surprise Mazda cx5 will not let you get bored.
Positive reviews
I studied a car to replace my own, an interesting solution SkyActive i.e. platform, engine in general, the entire chassis is based on this technology, interesting! The car belongs to the class of "compact crossovers" I also want to take into account that wheelbase 2700 !!!and a trunk of about 500 liters!! ! The car is quite dynamic and the box is quite nimble, these engines show a higher compression ratio than others, due to this fuel economy, as for the design, it is quite fresh and sporty. I think great option for purchase, I would also recommend the Subaru Forester
Mazda CX-5 2.0 AWD AT 2013
The car is worth the money. Exploiting 4 years, more like it than not. Before buying tested all competitors. In my opinion the best. At first, I didn’t even consider it, because. I thought it was youth, and I'm far from a boy, but I stopped by for a test, and the next day I made a purchase. Never regretted. Service after warranty every 10,000 km.
ADVANTAGES
Driving performance, I like to manage, not to move. On the track, it stands rooted to the spot at any speed, especially after I put on normal tires. The engine and gearbox are harmonious. Oil consumption, zero. The salon is comfortable and practical. Level reliability. Permeability is sufficient for a crossover. I have never skidded anywhere, although in winter I carry a shovel with me just in case and sometimes I experiment with patency. In winter, it warms up quickly, the cabin is comfortable, both in winter and in summer in the heat. You can't get your trousers and coats dirty in the dirt, the thresholds are covered with doors. Consumption 9-10 in the city with traffic jams, and on the highway 7.5-8 at a speed of 130, which I think is normal. Good, comfortable and fast transformation of the cabin. Often you have to transport different nonsense. backs rear seats folded almost into a flat floor.
LIMITATIONS
Weak windshield, changed twice. Noise isolation is also unimportant, I didn’t do it right away, and then I got used to it. There is no heated steering wheel and wiper rest zone. There is no electric trunk. Weak LC coating, chips on the hood and roof. After 15,000 km, there was a knock on the right front, the subframe was loosened (features of our assembly). The anthers on the racks quickly broke, they were replaced under warranty, now there are no problems. Irritates i-stop, I always turn it off, otherwise the battery will get an early kirdyk.

Good evening everyone! Probably the last review of this car. It's time to change) Passed 121,000 km. Finally, something got worn out. Just replaced the bushings on the front suspension arms. Zadubel one, but immediately replaced a couple. THAT I pass only at the officials. But they completely change the levers at a price of 12,000 apiece. Replaced in the "White Service" for 10 thousand, along with work and silent blocks. As before, I have not replaced a single light bulb, which, in principle, is surprising. For 120,000 km. replaced the front pads twice, once the rear pads, wiper blades and replaced the discs at 115,000. Everything. You draw conclusions.
ADVANTAGES
Those expectations, when I took the car 4 years ago, were fully justified. I'm going to take the Mazda CX-5, restyling 2017. I'll wait until they go on sale. True, I'm going to take 2.5 liters. One more thing. Evaluated it by trade-in....gave 750....took for 950....Good luck to everyone!
LIMITATIONS
Everything else is trifles that do not require serious costs.
Good day! became the owner of the Mazda CX-5! drove the first 200 km. great flight! happy with almost everything!
I'll start with the cons:
- Shumka, as everyone writes, leaves much to be desired. I had a 2008 Mazda 6 before. the same music is expensive. hoped that the CX-5 would be better, but hopes were not justified!
- there are no rear parking sensors, the Touring package, they could put it, they stuffed everything into the maximum speed and are happy.
- armrests and door handles sheathed with cloth, imagine what they will be in six months.
- there is no windshield heating or wiper rest zone. forever have to beat off the snow and ice.
- no driver for tailgate. I was on a Mazda 6, very comfortable. all of the cons. and then the main part is my personal wishes, as a consumer.
pros:
- high! already managed to climb where he never dreamed of on the machine.
- four-wheel drive is certainly a thing! I drive stock summer tires(not changed yet) - great!
- suspension - passes (eats) all the bumps in the road. doesn't break anywhere. softer than on the machine.
- steering wheel is responsive
- holds the road well but it was calmer on the machine.
- brakes are good
- the trunk is large. You can carry two dogs. (I have two labras).
- the seats are comfortable. heating works great.
In short, I'm happy with the car. I haven’t fully figured out the functions yet, I’m reading the manual as thick as “War and Peace”.
Seven months ago I became the owner of the new Mazda CX-5. Opinions about her were extremely positive. During the operation, I found only a few shortcomings (which, in my opinion, are insignificant). The car looks just great. I believe that this is the most aesthetic and beautiful representative of its class. Yes, and I also liked the salon - everything is in its place and does not irritate anything. I liked the perforated leather trim, soft plastic, informative instrument panel. I don't feel the lack of free space. Landing is comfortable. However, I adjusted the seat and steering wheel for almost a week. But now I immediately take a comfortable position. The motor suits me perfectly. The car is quite frisky. The gas pedal is responsive here, and the gear shifts smoothly. Lately I've been refueling only 92-octane gasoline. In the city, the engine consumes an average of 9.5 liters of fuel. In my opinion, the result is not bad. The suspension copes with small irregularities perfectly, and on large pits I feel its rigidity. However, the ride is comfortable. Noise isolation is good, especially in urban use. At speeds above 120 km / h, extraneous noise penetrates into the cabin, but for me this is not critical.
mazda cx5 diesel
I chose a car for 3 months, and my wife and I looked for all the test drives: Honda SRV, Foltz Tiguan, Outlander, Rafik4, Ford Kuga. We didn’t consider Koreans. .And 2 months ago we became the owners of the Mazda cx5 diesel. Previous auto ford focus3. I wanted a car higher and more spacious. Mazda meets all these requirements. From the pros: a fairy tale engine (shoots from any revs, a cannon!), Comfortable high driving position, spacious interior and trunk, the machine works clearly and without delay, a lot of electronic assistants , the transformation of the rear sofa is very convenient. Of the minuses: frequent maintenance every 10,000 (for a diesel engine), poor sound insulation rear arches and a trunk (there is no noise at all) I solved the problem on my own in one day (I made a noise). There is not enough rear-view camera (not provided in this configuration). I am very afraid to run into the left diesel fuel, although I refuel at proven gas stations. Mileage 2500, the flight is excellent, I enjoy the ride. Although the price diesel version an order of magnitude higher than gasoline, I did not regret the choice. Average consumption is 9.5 liters. I'm waiting for the colder weather, check how it will start. Well, something like that, bye everyone.
Mazda CX-5 2016
I was looking for a family car for urban use, we live 30 km from the city and my wife and I go to work and on other matters. I will not go into the details of the choice or compare with other cars, just talk about the pros and cons of the model. First, about my copy - 4WD, 2.5-liter engine - 192 horses, automatic.
The purchase turned out to be pleasant, without the arrogance and perseverance of managers. All competently designed and installed crankcase protection. Since the road was not close, I decided not to delay the installation in order to save money. The seats are very comfortable, that's just a detail that I don't understand - there is no adjustment of the rear row backrests by inclination. Good sound insulation, although the Germans are much better. Comfortable high landing, and the best part - all LED optics. Illuminates very cool, simply indescribable, you need to sit behind the wheel yourself.
In our Supreme configuration, in comparison with the next one, only a couple of electronic assistants and a sunroof are missing. The system for turning on parktronics is incomprehensible to me, well, the rear ones are understandably turned on with the camera, but why press the button every time to turn on the front ones? In terms of all-wheel drive, everything is expected, it pulls normally down a steep mountain, but in a snow-covered light off-road it got tired - it showed that the clutch had overheated. The engine is torquey, in sport mode the box showed itself better. Lobovuha and paintwork disappointed, chips and cracks stable. In general, the Mazda CX 5 met my expectations.

pros
The exterior is strict and beautiful; Roomy trunk; The salon is quite spacious; Steering excellent; Maneuverability.
Bought half a month ago new Mazda CX5. During this time I got used to it enough to write a review. Initially, this car was bought for a family (there is another car for work). Why this manufacturer? Despite the lack of Russian-language reviews on Mazda, the company has proven itself well. My wife and parents also have a Mazda, and when choosing a car for a family, other manufacturers were somehow not considered.
So, in my Mazda CX5 there is a leather interior and a fairly roomy trunk (what you need for family trips). With my rather large growth, the driver's seat has to be pushed back to the maximum. Here, the minus of the car manifests itself - if the child sits comfortably behind the driver, then there will not be enough space for an adult. Despite this, I can say that the interior is quite spacious. I would like to express special gratitude to the manufacturer for the convenient and ergonomic front panel. The exterior of the car is also worthy - strictly and beautifully.
The steering is excellent - the car is obedient, holds the road well. Mazda accelerates quickly, brakes quite easily. It behaves well in the city - nimble, makes it easy to change lanes in Moscow traffic jams. The presence of high ground clearance protects against trouble with curbs. Running a little harsh, but absorbs all road imperfections well.
Mazda CX 5 (Mazda CX 5) 2.0, 2012
I bought a Mazda Cx5 on February 23rd. My wife rides on it. Before that, I had a fiat grande punto 3d. I myself drive a Suzuki grand vitara. You can’t compare it with a punt, because these cars are not at all similar. Compare with GW. On GV I have a permanent four-wheel drive, as well as a differential lock, reduced. You can say almost SUV. He justified all this in almost 2 years for mushrooms, on the hunt and at the dacha. This machine is much softer, has very good noiselessness. I got an amazing experience riding in the industrial zone, where the snow is never removed at all. The new clutch and ground clearance of 210 showed themselves very well. It would not be correct to compare this car with some front-rear-wheel drive sedan. This car is in any case more interesting than Tiguan and Rav4. Other types of competitors smoke nervously on the sidelines. After all, here we are talking about SUVs up to 200 hp.
Long chose the car, stopped at the Mazda CX5. Satisfied with almost everything except the little things like a knock in the extreme positions of the steering wheel (for everyone), insufficient noise. The 2.5 engine allows you to easily overtake, the average consumption of 9.1 is quite satisfactory considering that I mainly drive around the city. I don’t drive fast, but I tried to accelerate to 200 km and the car kept the road well. Ground clearance, consumption, design, spaciousness, comfortable fit, transformation of the rear seats, all these are the pluses of Mazda. I can not recommend with full confidence because the car is only a year old ..
Great crossover. Powerful, fast, stylish. The trunk is large, but at the same time, the car is quite maneuverable. Visibility is good, I park on it faster than on my previous cars. I looked at the reviews of the owners when I planned the purchase, therefore, I knew what I was going for. The price is not small, but the Mazda CX-5 fully pays off the money invested in it.
Segment compact crossovers, for urban driving and outdoor recreation, is rapidly gaining weight. Another popular SUV, from the Japanese automaker Mazda, was first introduced to Russian motorists in 2012. At the beginning of the active sales stage, the CX-5 was offered in a 4 power plants to choose from, but a little later from diesel engine with a volume of 2.2 liters and a power of 150 hp, they refused to sell in Russia.
At the choice of the buyer, two types of transmission are offered, namely a 6-speed manual transmission and a classic hydromechanical automatic transmission with six speeds. The wheel formula of the SUV implies a basic 4x2 and all-wheel drive with a plug-in rear axle using an electromagnetic clutch.
2015 Mazda CX5 is undergoing restyling, during which the shape of the bumper overhangs, side mirrors have changed, the front and rear lights have also been modified, automatic transmission appeared sports mode significantly improved the level of sound insulation in the cabin.
What are the shortcomings noted by the owners
Poor sound insulation of the car, especially in the area of wheel arches.
The windshield does not have sufficient strength, a high tendency to scratches and chips.
Not comfortable and short armrest between driver and front passenger.
Lack of heated steering wheel and windshield wipers.
Low wear resistance fabric upholstery, especially door cards, gets dirty easily.
In the winter season, the trunk release button often jams.
High sensitivity of all engines to fuel quality (EURO-6)
Positive aspects of the Mazda CX 5
-Low fuel consumption.
Incredibly low fuel consumption, one of the main emphasis of the manufacturer on this car. All three engines available in the line can boast of high efficiency.
- Good head light.
The dipped-beam headlights are arranged so balanced that turning on the foglights to improve the visibility of the roadside is completely useless.
- Comfort and fit.
The seats have a well-fitted shape, under the outline of a person. Passenger space is also not deprived of comfort, alas, there are no rear seat adjustments.
- Clear handling and stability on the road.
Driving the Mazda CX5 is more like a car than a crossover, occasionally reminding of this only when cornering.
- Good dynamics.
For the most part, car owners note throttle response in engine traction, regardless of the working volume. It is important to note the fact that all "classmates" consume much more fuel.
- Elastic suspension.
Despite the fact that the CX-5 is equipped with a conventional MacPherson strut, which is applicable for rigid suspensions, the engineers managed to create something in between "roll and wood", which at the output creates sufficient comfort and stability on the road.
Weaknesses and sores of the crossover
1. Wheel bearings.
A very common disease of many Mazda vehicles, including the CX7 and the Mazda 6 sedan. premature exit their failure usually occurs on the front axle of the car. The main reason for this, bumps and pits in pavement, plus a hub not designed for such loads. The bearing is changed along with the hub assembly.
2. Ignition coils.
Until now, the problem of gasoline engines, with a displacement of 2.0 and 2.5 liters, has not been cured. Early failure of ignition coils. The manufacturer gives several reasons for this fact, and the most common of them is the poor quality of the fuel. Symptoms of a failed ignition coil are: engine tripping, bad traction, the “check engine” indicator lights up ... Frequent cases of such breakdowns are observed on a run of 40-70 thousand km.
3. Auxiliary drive system.
Broken alternator belt and failure tension roller, not a very rare malfunction, a pattern can be traced on a run of 25-40 thousand km. The main reason for this phenomenon, many endure work I-Stop system, which turns off the engine on "every occasion".
4. Steering.
The steering rack shows itself quite well in the conditions of Russian operation, and as for the operation of the electric power steering, alas, cases of its breakdown are not uncommon. It is checked quite simply, the main symptom failure of the EUR, serves as a different effort when the steering wheel is rotated to the sides.
5. Catalyst.
Early clogging and melting of combs, in catalytic converter located closer to exhaust manifold, matching is not uncommon for the CX5 with gasoline engines. Most likely, the reason for this is the motor “strangled” to the high environmental requirements of EURO-6. If the fuel quality does not meet these requirements ( EURO-5 not at all gas stations) some owners eventually change it to a “flame arrester” with the installation of deceptive sensors. It is also worth noting that the gasoline recommended by the manufacturer, with an octane rating of at least 95.
6. Turbine and injection pump.
Diesel unit with incredibly low compression for modern analogues. Developed by Mazda engineers, specifically for the sake of fuel economy. Diesel fuel consumption is not high, with a torque of 420 N.M. When buying a used car Mazda CX5 with diesel engine, it is strongly recommended to check the condition of the injection pump, and it will not be superfluous to diagnose the condition of the turbo. Middle turbine service life without repair 150 thousand km, the life of the fuel pump, largely depends on the quality of the fuel and timely maintenance.
