    Hope it does



    Mine is the gas variant 2.0L, fuel consumption is around 8km/liter city driving with light to moderate traffic
    I'm also planning to buy a mazda cx5 this month, is the diesel variant worth the price vs the gas?

    Not worth it unless you really crave that diesel torque. At 80kph, you can hear the dual-stage turbo whirring like you're about to take off. Very addicting drive.

    Downside, diesel has a DPF which requires additional maintenance, like regularly checking oil level. Exhaust smells like rotten eggs on cold starts, extra bad compared to regular crdi motors due to low compression.

    The 2.5 AWD isn't a gas guzzler, you can probably do 8km/l in light traffic with a conscious foot. I'd get that if you're a city slicker. Proven reliable.

    CX-5 is really close to Euro crossovers like the previous X3 or GLC. I'd say like 80%-90% of the quality for half of the price. Interior is impecabbly designed, there's real wood trim on the dashboard. Switches and knobs are all solid, NVH is also outstanding. Mazda hit a home-run with this imo. In other countries, it's being cross-shopped with the Euros already.

    Well for me depends kung ano yung “worth it” na for you matters most... if really on the price of gas vs diesel lang given the situation today, mura na ang gas.... for extra power maybe yes, but 2.5 is more than enough already for it’s size... perhaps install the orange virus thing if you want more power for the gas engine...buy now! What color you prefer?

    kung madalas ka sa akyatin na lugar like Baguio or mountain province, loaded to full load mas okey ang diesel. Pero kung normal use to above average, gas is fine for me.

    Lakwatsero nailed it, sir. If your regular routes are short & slow, go petrol.
    The CX5 & the kodos are indeed euroesque minus the diva gene.[emoji4]
