Hmmm. . .I can't blame rollyic. Maybe he tested the 2.0 Tucson CRDi variant.

Maximum power of 177 ps is achieved 4000 rpm compared to the 155 ps at 6000 rpm of the 2.0 CX-5.

Maximum torque of 392 N-m achieved as early as 1800 rpm compared to the 200 N-m at 4000 rpm of the 2.0 CX-5.

You will really feel the kick once you step on the pedal. Even if its an AT, the response is like driving a MT.

Im here in qatar.
I test drive the 2.5. Walang 2.0 ang car dealer dito.
Mas malambot ang steering nya.
Mas responsive ang engine.
Mas tahimik.
Mas maganda ang suspension.
Mas madaling lumamig ang A/C (kasi may air vent sya sa likod)

The only good side i like with cx5 is the BOSE speakers...ang sarap mag soundtrip while driving. 😉

Parang mas sulit si 2016 2.0, ang dami panu nadagdag sa kanya compared to the AWD.

Thank you for the response. Yeah mas marami na nga features with the 2.0 now, it was already okay. But i tried the 2.5 and i was really happier with how it responded. So i already reserved a 2.5. Just curious what is the average fuel consumption of your car?

The CX5 2.5 on the other hand isn't all that convincing over the 2.0, save for the rims. I'd get a 2.0 CX5 instead, then look for 2.5 rims. Only thing I don't like with the 2.0 is that its long second gear means low-speed overtaking is awkward, but if you overtake from 60 kph upwards, it's peppy enough.

Yes i agree that the FXT is more powerful and spacious but its almost 1.9M. As for the rims, if i were to buy those 19s plus the set of tires. won't i be spending close to 100k na for that?
yeah i get you with that feeling of shortness on overtaking especially when i was in edsa/white plains area.

60% na highway (NLEX) siguro sya and 40% city sa Manila/QC area

That is from a 2.5L engine. FC talaga ni CX5 ang happy ako ;). You can go with the flow or be more spirited in your driving without worrying if your FC will take a major hit.

Really good mixed FC driving for a 2.5L engine. My 1.6 MT Altis only averages 10.63 km/L on mixed driving, although my 40% city is always rush hour, while my highway driving is a mix of NLEX/SCTEX and OG Road/Roman Highway which aren't really high-speed, free flowing highway.

Any advice for the navigation problem of cx-5 2.0 2015 model? Always have to use waze [emoji3]

Hi guys,

Hows your cx-5s so far?

After much contemplation and research, im finally decided on getting the 2016 cx-5. Based on your experience would you still recommend buying this car? And which dealers would you recommend and which ones to avoid? And what discounts/freebies were included in the deal.

Im planning to get the soul red, for those with similar color, is it a pain to maintain?

Would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks!
