9:41 look like NFS Underground 2 menu screen lol 😂
Does it have the stop and go button?
you get the big sunroof in the top 2 trims
Focus groups and "lean production " is the reason why there is no physical buttons or rotary dial..times are changing 😢
I have to try out this system but I'm so happy that stupid dial and small screen is gone.
Seeing Yuri struggle with that screen who test drives every damn car made and now imagine someone much older or not tech savy.
Make the 0-60 mph less than 7 sec and I would consider it. Less than 6 and I would buy today.
This will still sell because people don't want to line up for years to get a RAV4 and the dealer giving you a huge favour by selling one without markups 😅and not everyone wants an aging CRV as well.
This is a 100% flop from Mazda. Sales are going to tank because of their screen decision. Whoever at Mazda made that decision to put everything on the screen is going to be looking for a new job after 2026. There is not a chance I would purchase this vehicle with that screen.
Come on mazda! We want physical buttons and a turbo engine.
Mazda is finished
As someone with an EV I prefer no buttons, pretty easy to get used imo. Anywho, this is a great redesign. Might be worth looking at when it's used.
Idiot Screen
Hi, can we turn off the i-stop?
There are so many things wrong with this car! Ugly wheels, piano black plastic cladding, cheap hard plastic interior materials, lack of physical controls, no turbo …
I liked the previous gens no touch screen. it kept the car looking clean when going in. and no turbo 😢. I guess i aint upgrading
Mazda has been huffing the 'we need to be like the premium brands' gas a little too much lately
Screen's are dangerous whoever thought taking your eyes off the road was a good idea should be demoted
più grande è lo schermo, peggiore è l'auto…..
How do all of the controls work with the smaller screen on the lower trims? Are all of those “button” just smaller and even harder to use?
I really don’t understand Mazda’s decision here. I get that the auto press beat them up, unfairly, for their old rotary knob and buttons which no thought worked great. But they have to have seen Honda getting beat up about their volume knob over the past few years. They likely didn’t know about Subaru’s move back to climate controls on the new Outback until this was far into production, but still…
There was a huge issue people had with the dial and the small screen not being touch screen, unless stopped .. & now everyone is mad at the updated ?? 🙄🙄🙄
The only issue I have is the rims, they look like they are rims from a Mazda MPV.
This new Mazda CX-5 has disappointed me, however Mazda CX-50 so much cooler and better 🎉
Hard pass😮
Knobs are so yesterday…bunch of old grumpy men
The transmission stick is not perfectly between the screen really irks me.
You would think that Mazda of all brands would learn from others' mistakes.
Why did they think it's clever to go "all screen" 5 years after others have tried, failed and reverting back already?
Screw-up of the year, and it only just started.
Shame for Mazda, or maybe they want this one not to sell.
Still don't understand why Mazda is making two different versions of the same vehicle.. CX-5 & CX-50. Rather get the CX-50 hands down.
Looks Fugly in the Front.. the previous CX-5 looked wayyyy better.
Jesus .. Why is everyone trying to be more and more like Tesla ? Makes it seem like the design engineers have nothing to offer but to jack others ideas.
A huge Mazda fanboy and an ND2 Mx5 owner. This Cx5 is depressing.
They chasing Tesla , but can’t
get it right ..
Now its ugly. The track is too narrow compared to the body, also the wheels look lost.
8:33 He is not having his eyes on the road for a prolonged time. In my CX-30, the screen is just below the wind screen, also tilted towards the driver. When looking at that screen, I still have my peripheral view on the road. Also, most often than not, I can control the screen (while using the knob) while fully keeping my eyes on the road and using my peripheral view for the screen. Exactly as how Mazda said it would be safer.
