(Model | Gallery) The Mazda CX-5 is a 5-seater C-Segment SUV that slots in between the CX-3 and CX-8. It competes against the likes of the Honda CR-V and Subaru Forester. The CX-5 is locally assembled at Mazda Malaysia's manufacturing plant in Kulim. In October 2019, Bermaz Motor introduced an updated version of their most popular SUV but do note that this is not a facelift exercise. This update is known as a running change where manufacturers revise the specification list – for better or worse.

We've examined the 2019 Mazda CX-5 2.5 Turbo in detail from its exterior panel gaps, interior space to fuel consumption in our WapCar Ratings. Here's an overview of all our tests. With 230 PS at its disposal, the CX-5 2.5 Turbo is the most SUV in the segment. Being a Mazda, it also has unrivaled handling prowess but at the slight tradeoff of ride comfort.

Kereta SUV menjadi kegilaan ramai pembeli di Malaysia masa kini, dan syarikat pembuat kereta cuba sedaya upaya untuk mengisi kekosongan barisan model mereka dengan kereta-kereta SUV. Antara yang popular termasuklah Mazda CX-5 dan Mazda CX-30 yang secara teknikalnya berada dalam segmen C dalam pasaran SUV. Mungkin ada yang beranggapan CX-30 sebagai kereta crossover.

Manufacturers seem to be filling in all the niches possible in their SUV lineup. Here we have the Mazda CX-5 and the Mazda CX-30, both are technically in the C-segment SUV market, and we've lined them up for a CX-5 vs CX-30 comparison. Well, some would consider the CX-30 to be a crossover but let’s not get into the whole SUV vs crossover thing just yet. Back to the topic, the Mazda CX-5 and CX-30 not only sit in the same segment, they are within similar price bracket as well. So, which do you pi

Mazda recently introduced a new 2.5-litre turbo variant for the 2019 Mazda CX-5. On paper, it packs the most firepower of any C-segment SUV but we want to see if this is true in the real world. The Mazda CX-5 2.5 Turbo AWD sold in Malaysia is powered by a 2.5-litre turbocharged direct-injection 4-cylinder petrol engine paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The SkyActiv-G turbo engine pushes out 230 PS and 420 Nm of torque. Power is channelled to all four wheels via the permanent all-wheel

Mazda cars were never known to be spacious and the same is true for the 2019 Mazda CX-5 Turbo. Let’s evaluate its interior space and practicality through our WapCar Ratings. The Mazda CX-5 is a 5-seater C-segment SUV in the same category as the Honda CR-V, Proton X70 and Subaru Forester. The second row is nowhere near as spacious as its main rivals but it is still acceptable for 3 adults abreast.

Mazda CX-30 Nama Mazda CX-30 terasa sedikit janggal, kerana SUV segmen C ini diletakkan diantara CX-3 (segmen B) dan CX-5 (segmen C). Patut ia dipanggil CX-4, betul tak? Namun atas sebab tidak mahu menimbulkan rasa kecelaruan di antara CX-4 yang wujud sebagai model berbeza yang dijual khas di negara China sahaja (berasaskan model CX-5 sebelumnya), Mazda rasa perlu untuk memberi nama yang lain.

The Mazda CX-5 is locally-assembled (CKD) at Mazda Malaysia’s manufacturing plant in Kulim. The Malaysia-assembled SUV is also exported to neighbouring countries like Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines. We examined how well built the CX-5 is and look at the features available on the Mazda CX-5 2.5 Turbo.

If you’re eyeing for the 2020 Mazda CX-5, you’d be looking at no less than 5 variants of the model, from the 2.0G 2WD Mid all the way to the 2.5G 4WD High T/C. Mazda CX-5 As the saying goes, buy what you can afford. But there’s usually a pick of the range, the sweet spot if you will, for any car.

2020 has been a challenging year for many, including car manufacturers like Mazda. Though at least with the SST exemption in place, sales were respectable. Sources close to the matter at hand revealed that the Mazda CX-5 is sold out. It is said that all Mazda CX-5 variants were completely sold out before 31 December 2020, which was original deadline for SST exemption.

Thailand has just gotten ahold of the Mazda CX-5 Turbo, which was officially launched here last month. The range topping CX-5 is priced at 1.85m Baht, translating to just over RM 250k. Lucky for us Malaysians as ours are priced at just RM 181k. To reiterate, 2.5-litre turbocharged engine came straight from its larger sibling - the CX-9. It makes 230 PS and torque output peaks at 420 Nm. Transmission duty is handled by a 6-speed automatic that drives all four wheels. It might be pricey but the Th

The oddly named Mazda CX-30 slots between the B-segment CX-3 and the C-segment CX-5. Why is called the CX-30 instead of a more logical CX-4 then? That's because the CX-4 already exists as a totally unrelated China-only model (based on the previous generation CX-5). This 2020 Mazda CX-30 that you see here is Mazda's latest global product. It's a C-segment SUV, similar to the CX-5 but this one sits closer to the smaller Toyota C-HR than the larger CX-5. Just as its little brother the CX-3 is based

The Mazda CX-5 is one of our favourite crossovers here in the WapCar office. We like the premium quality and performance of the turbocharged 2.5-litre Skyactiv-G engine. While it has a handsome style, Mazda reckons it's time it should get some upgrades. That is, if you’re living the United States of America as the 2021 Mazda CX-5 is given a few new upgrades which includes a new 10.25-inch infotainment screen.

Positioned between the CX-5 and CX-9, the CX-8 is essentially a smaller version of the CX-9, developed for the Japanese market, where vehicles are taxed based on the body size. In terms of dimensions, the Mazda CX-8 is 4,900 mm long, 175 mm shorter than the CX-9. It is also 129 mm narrower and 17 mm lower than the CX-9.

Bermaz Motor has introduced an option to the 2021 Mazda CX-5 with a larger 8-inch infotainment screen, on top of the standard 7-inch unit. The option costs RM 1,000. Unlike the newer systems in the Mazda 3 and CX-30, the 8-inch infotainment screen still runs on an older generation MZD Connect system as in the smaller 7-inch screen. So the difference here is mainly the larger screen estate and reduced bezels. Note that this is not the running change seen in other countries such as the US, where t

Here’s a phrase you’ve probably read or heard of – nice to drive. Sounds pretty straightforward and yet if you delve into it a little deeper, some confusion may arise. For example, both the Mazda CX-8 and Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace R-Line are nice to drive, but both feel worlds apart in terms of driving experience. The confusion stems from the rather vague description of the phrase “nice to drive” and every individual may have a slightly different interpretation of it. Some use the phrase to des
