MAZDA HAS HIT THE BULLSEYE THIS YEAR !

Retread, 02/22/2025
2025 Mazda CX-5
This is my third brand new Mazda CX5 in 5 years !! - I had a 2022, 2023 and now traded into a 2025. You may ask why - Its because we kept wanting more factory accessories- such as ---the a/c cooled front seats, heated rear seats , touch screen car play (1st year ) 360 cameras, wireless phone charging + wireless Bluetooth., Bose Audio .- were the main items. --The wheel wells are body … color instead of black plastic also.--But there was much more than bargained for after I drove off the lot --NOT having driven the vehicle because it had 02 miles and I assumed it was the same as my previous years ---uh --NOT !! The 2025 being our 1st Premium Plus (non-turbo model) after having the Carbon Edition , Premium and now the P-Plus. The main reason I am deciding to write yet another review on what many might think is the exact same vehicle except the bells and whistles--- well its NOT ! It ended up being a re-engineered powertrain ,( transmission, suspension and engine )...and Mazda has not mentioned anything of this ? First -- I took delivery with 02 miles on the ODO and it still had the PDI tape and seat plastic covers etc --Right off the truck -- So After the exhaustive trade in process -- I opened the hood to check the oil ( just a quirk ) and I immediately noticed the intake noise baffle looked completely different than the 22,23,24 ? So I just figured Mazda designed a better cover --but upon closer inspection the intake was changed as well -- hoses , etc were routed differently and had other things. I had about a 50 mile drive home and thats when I immediately noticed that the way the power was delivered from the engine was unbelievably smooth and predictable - it seemed more powerful by far than the 23 I had just traded in - Then the shifting was extremely sensitive and once I got used to the transmission it was far improved --I could literally use the gas pedal to find the exact gear I needed effortlessly and quickly --so quickly I needed to change my previous habit of applying much more pressure and often using manual mode on the 23 because the down shifts where sluggish comparatively. This is like a manual automatic and I use the paddles far far less--because I dont need to ---- There was no jumpy break in period where it would lunge trying to stay at one consistent speed - Then the suspension -HUGE difference -- picks up little road imperfections- and has a feel like a 100% sports car- yet luxurious? Is that possible ? --- the firmness in the turns was still there - no play- understeer / oversteer whatsoever - It had been tweaked ( in my opinion )- very quiet and less road noise at all speeds --- No doubt new engine mapping occurred- even though the torque/hp are the same as the 23 --the power is greater at all points in acceleration and roll on is magnificent - , Transmision changes I cant define- its beyond perfection --- and the suspension may be one the of finest of ANY vehicle I have ever driven --this includes my 2001 MBZ S500 - and I am not exaggerating , Mazda had literally after over 10 years finally nailed the CX5 to absolute ultimate . Its beyond unbelievable and I drive it every chance I get just to make sure its actually what I last experienced and not a dream. Mazda did announce the suspension changes in 2025 - but that was it -- nothing else about engine mapping or transmission shift changes --- But why ? I can only surmise that Mazda IS changing the CX5 body next year for the 2026 model . They have been collaborating with Toyota and exchanging technology -- Mazdas hybrid drive is directly from Toyota - and Toyota is apparently using the skyactive driveline for its new SUPRA inline-6 turbo --which is made 100% by Mazda in the CX-90/ Also Toyota wanted some of Mazdas engine technology -- Yes you read that correctly TOYOTA wanted engine technology from Mazda ! --So Did Toyota help retune the CX5 ? We know the new Hybrid drive in the CX5 and CX-50 + 70-90 is Toyotas as well except Mazda uses its skyactive driveline --My opinion ..YES -- Toyota did help tweak this stuff in preparation for the 2026 CX5 and other Mazda Hybrids from Toyota --Which are the gold standard for Hybrid drive systems .I still prefer this good old school naturally aspirated non-turbo 4wd set-up. So to anyone who can use my experiences with my previous CX5s-- ---Nows the time ( unless you want Hybrid ) - as I think they got the drivetrain . suspension done for the 26 CX5 early and put it into the 2025.5 CX5- Thank you Mazda / Toyota for what I now claim is the finest , best driving car I have ever owned --( at 5000 miles now )- Remember that Some CX5 models do NOT have 19" rims --the base select and a few others have 17"s which Im sure are good --But know there is a difference in performance getting the 19"-s
