Report of severe banging from engine of Mazda CX-5 Skyactiv diesel automatic purchased new in March 2018 and now at 2270 miles. Described by owner as "horrendous heavy banging like two heavy bells being struck together." Mazda dealer made checks, but found nothing wrong. We suspect that one of the glowplugs is not lighting up.

Report of problems with infotainment system of 2017 Mazda CX-5. Sat Nav does not accept full Postcodes (eg looking for PA13EY displays PA14 and can’t be changed). Mazda website videos claim using postcodes is possible but it isn't. Owner contacted Mazda and got response ‘sorry’ big issue with system due to subcontractor and likely to take months to resolve. iPhone paired ok but when you link and use it to call the bluetooth connection is lost and you have to use the phone.

Report of clutch is judder on April 2017 Mazda CX-5 2.2 Skyactiv D at 6,800 miles. Mazda quoted £2,00o for a new clutch and DMF. Accused owner of slipping the clutch. This happened after a software update for a fuelling problem. Owner thinks that SkyActive system where the engine revs to 1800rpm, is a factor in the burning of the clutch causing high spots on the flywheel.

Mazda revealed 2017 CX-5
It’s a completely redesigned edition of the compact SUV that in 2012 kicked-off a generation of critically acclaimed cars featuring the company’s efficient lightweight SKYACTIV Technology and award-winning KODO – Soul of Motion designs.
Mazda refined virtually every aspect of the all-new CX-5, aiming to share the pleasure of driving with everyone on board. The new generation was engineered with a strong focus on human sensibilities to deliver responsive performance corresponding to driver expectations, but also prioritising passenger comfort for a pleasant ride in a remarkably quiet and finely crafted cabin.
The 2017 CX-5 comes with the full range of SKYACTIV Technology including two petrol engines – the SKYACTIV-G 2.0 and SKYACTIV-G 2.5 – and the SKYACTIV-D 2.2 clean diesel. All three deliver powerful, linear performance along with outstanding real-world fuel economy and remarkably low emissions. The new model also features G-Vectoring Control, a new Jinba Ittai – enhancing technology from Mazda. Additional highlights include a windscreen head-up display – one of the first in its class – and a remote-controlled power liftgate.

Revised Mazda CX-5 line-up priced from £27,845
Arriving in the UK early next year, the 2022 Mazda CX-5 features a bold new look with an evolution of its award-winning Kodo Design. Revised front and rear bumper designs combine with new headlight and taillight clusters to give the 2022 CX-5 a distinctly more modern and sharper look. At the front a more three-dimensional and powerful grille design is combined with a new signature wing trim that no longer heads into the lamp cluster, while at the rear the new bumper shape and stronger taillight design sharpens the rear styling.
In the UK, the 2022 Mazda CX-5 line-up features five trim levels: SE-L, Newground, Sport, Sport Black and GT Sport. For the first time, individual model grades feature subtle styling differentiation to give customers the option of choosing a CX-5 with a unique character and focus. The three stand out trim grades: Newground, Sport Black and GT Sport each have a distinct personality to ensure the CX-5 range offers more choice than ever before.
As before, the entry point to the CX-5 range is the SE-L model, which is offered with either the 165ps Skyactiv-G petrol or 150ps Skyactiv-D engine. Making its debut with 2022 Mazda CX-5, and offered exclusively with the 165ps Skyactiv-G engine, the stand-out Newground model features a slightly more rugged look with front and rear silver underguard trims matched to silver lower body side skirts, black door mirrors and 19-inch black diamond cut alloy wheels. Subtle lime green accents in the grille are replicated inside with lime green air vent louver trims, while the Newground’s black half leatherette seats have matching green piping. Perfect for an active lifestyle, the boot even features a reversible waterproof boot floor, while the Newground can be specified in the new for 2022 model year Zircon Sand Metallic paint colour.
Predicted to be the biggest seller in the UK, the Sport model is offered with a choice of 165ps Skyactiv-G petrol or 150ps and 184ps Skyactiv-D diesel. The higher output diesel is offered with a choice of front or all-wheel drive. Matched exclusively to an automatic gearbox this 184ps Skyactiv-D AWD Sport is the entry point of Mazda’s i-Activ all-wheel drive system in the 2022 Mazda CX-5 range.
The new Sport Black trim is another model that offers customers a unique look, offered exclusively with the 165ps Skyactiv-G petrol engine and front wheel drive, it delivers a sportier interpretation of the CX-5’s new look with gloss black detailing on the wheel arches, side moldings, door mirrors and signature wing grille surround. Subtle red accents within the grille and 19-inch black alloy wheels finish the sporty look, while inside the black leather seats feature red stitching, which is also found around the cabin in areas like the door trim, centre console and steering wheel.
Sitting at the top of the 2022 Mazda CX-5 range, the GT Sport is the premium flagship model that combines a unified one-colour exterior with a high-class interior that features the smooth tactility of brown Nappa leather and the luxurious textures of genuine woodgrain. Externally, the single colour body and trim details highlight the CX-5’s dynamic proportions, while the cabin features the luxurious materials and high levels of technology you’d expect of a premium SUV.
The 2022 Mazda CX-5 GT Sport also features a wide choice of engine, drivetrain and transmission with both the 2.0-litre 165ps Skyactiv-G and 194ps 2.5-litre Skyactiv-G petrol available. As before, the 165ps engine is matched to front wheel drive, while the larger 194ps petrol comes exclusively with all-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox with cylinder deactivation for improved efficiency. The GT Sport is also offered with the 184ps Skyactiv-D diesel matched to all-wheel drive.
Thanks to the unique styling of the GT Sport, Sport Black and Newground models, and a 20-model range that offers a choice of automatic or manual gearbox with every trim level, the 2022 Mazda CX-5 is a family SUV tailored around customers to give them more choice and options for personalisation than ever before.

Mazda CX-5 updated with mild-hybrid tech
With the first cars arriving in March next year, the 2023 Mazda CX-5 is available to order and configure now. The 2023 model year CX-5 builds on the success of the significantly updated 2022 Mazda CX-5, which made its debut in January, so it’s no surprise that the award-winning styling, cabin and chassis of Mazda's spacious and dynamic SUV remains unchanged.
However, the 2023 model year sees the introduction of 24v Mazda M Hybrid mild-hybrid technology across all petrol models, while the addition of cylinder deactivation to 165ps petrol automatic models, means all petrol CX-5’s now feature this efficient technology – the result of both updates is a petrol CX-5 range average Co2 reduction of 9g/km.
Other incremental updates to the 2023 Mazda CX-5 include the introduction of wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, while the front USB ports are changed to USB-C. Additionally, the 2023 Mazda CX-5 becomes the second car to be offered with Mazda’s new signature paint colour – Rhodium White, which made its debut on the larger Mazda CX-60 SUV.
While the 2023 Mazda CX-5 retains the same 20-model line-up, it now features new trim level naming to match other cars in the Mazda family. The 2023 Mazda CX-5 range features five trim levels: Centre-Line, Newground, Exclusive-Line, Homura and Takumi. Individual model grades feature subtle styling differentiation to give customers the option of choosing a CX-5 with a unique character and focus. The three stand out trim grades: Newground, Homura and Takumi each have a distinct personality to ensure the CX-5 range offers lots of choice for individual style.
The entry point to the CX-5 range is the Centre-Line model, which is offered with either the 165ps e-Skyactiv G petrol or 150ps Skyactiv-D engine. Offered exclusively with the 165ps e-Skyactiv G engine, the stand-out Newground features a slightly more rugged look with front and rear silver underguard trims matched to silver lower body side skirts, black door mirrors and 19-inch black diamond cut alloy wheels. Subtle lime green accents in the grille are replicated inside where the black half leatherette seats have matching green piping. Perfect for an active lifestyle, the boot even features a reversible waterproof boot floor.
Predicted to be the biggest seller in the UK, the Exclusive-Line is offered with a choice of 165ps e-Skyactiv G petrol or 150ps and 184ps Skyactiv-D diesel. The higher output diesel is offered with a choice of front or all-wheel drive. Matched exclusively to an automatic gearbox this 184ps Skyactiv-D AWD Exclusive-Line is the entry point of Mazda’s i-Activ all-wheel drive system in the 2023 Mazda CX-5 range.
The Homura trim is another model that offers customers a unique look, offered exclusively with the 165ps e Skyactiv G petrol engine and front wheel drive, it delivers a sportier interpretation of the CX-5’s look with gloss black detailing on the wheel arches, side moldings, door mirrors and signature wing grille surround. Subtle red accents within the grille and 19-inch black alloy wheels finish the sporty look, while inside the black leather seats feature red stitching, which is also found around the cabin in areas like the door trim, centre console and steering wheel.
Sitting at the top of the 2023 Mazda CX-5 range, the Takumi is a premium flagship model that combines a unified one-colour exterior with a high-class interior that features the smooth tactility of brown Nappa leather and the luxurious textures of genuine woodgrain. Externally, the single colour body and trim details highlight the CX-5’s dynamic proportions, while the cabin features the luxurious materials and high levels of technology you’d expect of a premium SUV.
The 2023 Mazda CX-5 Takumi also features a wide choice of engine, drivetrain and transmission with both the 2.0-litre 165ps e-Skyactiv G and 194ps 2.5-litre e-Skyactiv G petrol available. As before, the 165ps engine is matched to front wheel drive, while the larger 194ps petrol comes exclusively with all-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox. The Takumi is also offered with the 184ps Skyactiv-D diesel matched to all-wheel drive.
Thanks to the unique styling of the Newground, Homura and Takumi models, and a 20-model range that offers a choice of automatic or manual gearbox with every trim level, the 2023 Mazda CX-5 is a family SUV tailored around customers to give them more choice and options for personalisation.
