Mazda CX-5

If this doesnt sell better than Toyota' 2013 RAV4 then it just shows something wrong with our buyers/market.

I saw the CX5 AWD SPORT displayed in Mazda Greenhills.

SRP is 1.685M.

Differences from the other CX5 variants are:
2.5L 4x4 skyactive engine
19" wheels
Leather seats
Sunroof
9 bose speakers
I-Stop
Bi-xenon headlights
Adaptive Front-lighting (AFL)
Reverse Camera
Rear View Monitoring for blindspots
Power drivers seats with power adjustable lumbar support
Moonroof
Auto-dimming rearview mirror
Tilting and Telescopic steering wheel
Start/Stop Button
Tire Pressure Monitoring (available on all variants)

Standard Freebies include: Tint, Matting, Yojin3, 3 years LTO Registration.

Colors: Black, White, Aluminum Metallic, Sky Blue, and Soul Red (with 16,800 Premium)

With these features, it's almost like buying a Volvo XC60 at half the price. I think the CX5 AWD SPORT is worth buying. IMO, it has better features than the CRV, RAV4 and even the Forester.

According to my SA the new 2.5L engine is the same as the one used by the new Mazda6 and is rated at 190hp and 250Nm.

Does it come with i-ELOOP also?

I'm waiting for the DieSeL variant..! Kailan kaya darating ito sa atin?

When EURO IV is mandated for all diesels.

Unfortunately, it's highly doubtful we'll ever see the diesel 6 sold here. According to Mazda, the clean diesel Skyactiv-D won’t accept diesel fuel that has a sulfur content of 500 parts per million, which is what’s widely available in the Philippines. If ever the diesel 6 is sold here, refueling it is strictly limited to Unioil's Euro IV diesel fuel, which has a 50ppm sulfur content.

Yep

For features, the CX-5 AWD Sport has the standard suite of equipment like power windows, mirrors, locks and electric power steering, and throws in a climate control system, a touchscreen audio system and other bits. The unusual bit is that Berjaya Auto Philippines (the official distributor of Mazda) equipped the CX-5 AWD Sport with i-STOP, i-ELOOP, Traction Control, Stability Control, ABS, EBD, 6 airbags, power front seats, adaptive HID headlamps and a sunroof.

I think CX-5 was voted and won best compact SUV sa mias. But how's the sales of CX-5 so far compared to other compact SUV in its category?

Slow so far based on my sightings. Mas marami pa akong nakikitang XV. 3:1 siguro ratio. Less than one year pa naman Berjaya. MI also took a bit of time to ramp up sales when they took over.

Hi Sir JohnM,

I think the AutoIndustriya article made an error. I read the CX-5 AWD Sport owner's manual already and there is no mention of the i-eloop. I-stop lang ang meron. AFAIK, only the Mazda 6 has the i-eloop feature.

Yeah there's no i-eloop. Just i-stop.

Thanks for the correction. AI also updated their article

*Erratum: The CX-5 AWD Sport does not come with i-ELOOP like the Mazda6 as originally indicared in this story. -Ed

i was reading about the cx-5 AWD last night. and feature packed siya. (baka magpalit ako ng auto ng di oras )

isa sa mga nakita kong concern would be the i-stop feature. hindi kaya madaling masira yan? hehe

Tapos compare kayo ng "interiors" ni crush :naughty2:

As long as masikip pa piston rings gagana pa rin sya The engine stops with one cylinder full of compressed air. Pag-start it injects gas into that cylinder and sparks it to assist the starter.

Stop-Start Tech Important To Mazda?s SKYACTIV Strategy | Mazda in the News

May list akong nasagap with the conditions needed for i-stop to work:
A/C – anything other than the lowest or highest setting
Battery charge condition – above 68.4% (or >11.2V)
Battery temperature – 0-70°C
Rear window demister – off
Engine restart time – greater than 6.4 seconds (if in crawling traffic, the system might not stop the engine as often, as you might only creep forward for a second or 2 each time the traffic moves)
Engine coolant temp – 55-110°C
Auto trans temp – 20-120°C
Steering angle – 65° either way from centre or less
Vehicle inclination – 7° or less
etc etc

It can be turned off daw but it automatically turns on again the next time you start the engine.

^johnM, good opportunity to talk to crush next time. para tignan ko yung interior niya hehe

btw, regarding the i-stop, nabasa ko din last night na if one door is open before you start the car, i-stop will be deactivated. pero overall maganda talaga yung features. comment nga nung isang poster na nabasa ko last night is that its like youre buying a volvo at half the price.

magkano nalang ba interest rates ngayon? BPI offered us >4% p.a.

According to the manual, the new CX-5 is equipped with a high capacity battery designed for i-stop systems ( The battery has a sticker on top indicating "For Start & Stop").

Mazda dealers should inform new owners about this feature because if the driver is not knowledgeable, he might misinterpret it as a defect instead of a special feature. When the i-stop activates, the engine will suddenly shutdown and the tachometer needle will drop to zero and when the brake is release or after a few seconds the engine will start by itself again. I think only a few drivers take the time to read the owners manual of a new car. They only read it when they have encountered problems or need help in setting up the audio system. You should also inform your family and company drivers who drive different kinds of cars and rarely read the owners manual.

Here are some other features that the local CX5 has that is not stated by the local dealers and are not listed in the articles publish lately.

-High Beam Control System (activates when headlights are in auto and set to high beam) operates in dimly lit roads when speed is 30km/h or higher by switching to high beam when there are no vechicles in front of you or approaching in the opposite direction.
-Daytime running lights (turns on when shift lever is in Drive and handbrake is disengaged).

I'm checking the specs and features of CX-5's in mazda's U.S. website which has a more complete list and will compare them to the local version. When I finish, I'll post a more comprehensive features list of the local CX-5.
