Do all CX-5 units have the i-Stop/i-Eloop feature? May specific battery kasi for this kaya daw mahal. Pero kung totoo ngang 5K lang yan, pabili ako ng 2 hahaha :-D

As far as I know, Mazda is now owned by Berjaya and sila lang ang nag o-offer ng 3years free maintenance so I'm sure under sa Berjaya ang Mazda Davao.

I did ask about the i-Stop battery and that is what they told me. I was also hesitant to get the CX-5 at first kasi mahal yung battery according to this forum. That is why I clarified it with my SA and he told me na 5k nga lang daw. As far as I know, all 2014 FWD models have the i-Stop. I'm not sure about the AWD if it also has it.

Mazda Davao is under Autohub group. Make sure it's really 5T, a lot of SAs are not well informed.

Sorry boss. I'm not really sure which group it belongs. It's just a wild guess. Anyway, here's what happened. I asked the SA how much is the battery and he directly asked their Sales Manager about it so his information came from the manager itself. I think that's pretty reliable.

Im sorry sir but i believe you're misinformed. Better asked the service advisor for that, some sales personnel are not well knowledgeable on that part. Before, I asked 3 different casas (makati, q.ave, and greenhills), all answered "local battery won't work" and the prices was 13-15k as far as i remember.

Even checking online, the battery for cx5 with istop is different against the conventional battery.

BUT.. I read that if you installed an ordinary battery, only the istop system shall not work . (not sure of this) and if this 5k cost of battery is accurate, well im not complaining haha

Autohub and Berjaya are two different entities. Much like how Jollibee Corp is different from its host of franchisees.

Anyway, all CX-5's now have i-stop, so I'm sure the battery will not cost only 5k. Mahal nga yung battery pero wala ka naman babayaran sa maintenance. Also, if you back read a little bit more, I remember someone posting na as long as the i-stop will give you 10% (not sure about the figure) better fuel economy, then you can already recoup the cost of the battery from your fuel cost savings.

Also, while yes you can install an ordinary battery, who knows what complications this might give your P1.5M toy? :D

Went to mazda alabang yesterday, I asked the SA about the battery cost. He told me that Motollite already has a battery for CX-5... But he cannot give me an exact price.

Sa mga users ng CX-5, how's your FC so far? TIA
