1. Are you looking to buy a Mazda CX-5 or any new vehicle? Go to https://carconfections.com/new-car-quotes to get the BEST price and access to invoice pricing information for dealer negotiation!

2. Holy moly that’s a LOT of hard plastic in the interior.

3. I'll wait for the hybrid. The new styling looks good.

4. The problem is all manufacturer are trying to the same thing. It's like blending all colors together and making barely different hues of gray.
   Mazda: quality materials, good handling, engaging drives, simple/reliable and buttons with good tactile feeling.
   Mazda: don't be an appliance like Toyota or Honda.

5. 7:33 Create your own company producing vehicles and make everything "soft touch" over there. Then and only then you won't be "quite surprised and disappointed"… WTF… you think they are stupid over there at Mazda and you are the smart one?

6. Great video. The material of the seats is nappa leather? What about the back side of the seats?

7. As a truly loyal Mazda customer from Belgium for more than 30 years having had several models of Mazda, I am afraid Mazda has lost me with this model. Unbelievable. Hard plastics, looks and feels very cheap, no buttons, dangerous handling needed to change something on the screen and steering wheel, slow interactive voice responses – OMG, no, it's over and out. They went too far this time. A real mistake and killer for the inside. I will now look to Honda, as they seem to have kept a more conservative approach. Sorry, Mazda. Listen first to your customers rather than your engineers and financial institutions.

8. I ❤ MAZDA

9. The disappearance of physical climate, air conditioning, and audio controls, leaving only a screen, is, I believe, very impractical and will likely lead to problems over time. I think the price will drop significantly due to this manufacturing flaw, and we're talking about Chinese cars in general.

10. My father bought it as a 2026 model and it definitely looks nothing like this

11. This will never beat the RAV4

12. It’s crazy to see all of you whine about the interior, this shows that none of y’all even own a Mazda 😂

13. I just know that people who complains about missing knob and big screen in this car are just here for complain. 90% of them don’t own Mazda and will never buy Mazda.

14. I will not buy a vehicle with start stop or cylinder deactivation.

15. I don't like the way the steering wheel hub protudes out towards the driver. That alone would be a game-ender for me.

16. Who "complained about the lack of big screen in cx5"???

    Nobody why actually bought and drove a cx5? I want to drive a car, not watch a tv. I have a 2020 cx5 and love it… I guess I'll buy a used model to replace it. No buttons for HVAC and no rotary for the infotainment… Just stupid. I want eyes on the road, not on the screen. Really disappointing!!

    Also why did they drop the tow rating? And the black gloss on the rear bumper will just get destroyed when you actually pull stuff into in the trunk?!
    And then they got rid of the turbo engine and made the car bigger… Ok… So heavier car with same engine… That means less acceleration and I assume worse fuel economy. Why??
    These changes are really bizarre.

17. My wife owns a CX-5 Signature 2021. I own a 2022.
    We won't consider any CX-5 with no physical buttons at all, Period.
    RIP CX-5 2026 and later.

18. dropping the turbo is such a fumble. I was all in until i heard it

19. Who stole the HVAC buttons

20. Mazda is 10 years behind. They are doing what Honda and the Koreans did 10 years ago getting rid of volume and climate buttons, soft plastics.

21. Mazda caved to peer pressure with this model. Their customer base was totally fine with the infotainment setup in the previous models.

22. I was helping a friend on buying a car. She likes Subaru and not sure about Hybrid. So, I looked at the CX-5 because it would be something she would like. Then I saw the huge iPad screen and I believe you need to use the screen for some features. I crossed it off the list.

23. It is not luxury at all

24. The wheelset are just unattractive.
