Mazda CX-5 2022
Carsguide Senior Journalist Laura Berry had this to say at the time: The Toyota RAV4 GXL Hybrid is our winner. Not only did the RAV4 prove to be the most fuel efficient, it's the best to drive with its combination of good comfort, enjoyable handling and road connection, plus it has good safety tech, great practicality, the lowest servicing costs and the most affordable list price.

Mazda CX-5 2022 Q&As
Check out real-world situations relating to the Mazda CX-5 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

Engine oil pressure in my 2014 Mazda CX-5 diesel is low
A second-hand engine from a wreck is often a good an option, but only if you can find one that has been tested and comes with a warranty, otherwise you could be replacing your worn engine with an even more worn one. But with a diagnosis estimate of $5000 (and any actual repairs on top of that) I reckon a different workshop would be your best option. Frankly that seems (on the surface) a ridiculous figure and suggests that the workshop in question either doesn’t want your business or is assuming you’re a sucker.
Low oil pressure can be caused by various problems, and a good workshop should be able to check it out and give you a definitive answer on whether it could be fixed or the whole engine replaced. The good news is that the CX-5 is a popular model, so a replacement engine shouldn’t be too hard to track down.

Should I buy this 2014 Mazda CX-5?
The CX-5 is a well regarded vehicle in the trade with a good reputation for going the distance and remaining reliable. However, that’s a lot of kilometres for any vehicle.
Which means, you must approach this one purely on its individual merits. That starts with the service history. Unless you can find a complete, detailed record that proves the car has been absolutely maintained correctly, you could be taking a huge punt. You’d also want to learn as much as you can about who owned it and how it was driven. For instance, 300,000km of gentle highway running is a lot different to the same distance in city traffic or towing a trailer around.
Even then, it would want to be really cheap as you might easily find it’s getting very close to the end of its useful life. That said, a well maintained, carefully driven CX-5 can cover this sort of mileage, so maybe this one has some life left in it. Maybe.

Issues with Mazda Connect System in 2023 CX-5
There does seem to be a bit of a trend here where the Mazda software won’t talk to its owners’ phones. It’s not just a Mazda thing, either; plenty of car-makers using proprietary software receive customer complaints when the software and apps won’t play ball.
Some owners have had success by disconnecting the car’s battery overnight and forcing a reset to factory settings, but in other cases, the refusal to operate correctly is intermittent.
However, it’s up to Mazda to make good on a fix for this. Whether that involves replacing the head unit and screen with a new one, downloading new software or a patch for the existing stuff or whatever the solution is, your factory new-car warranty should cover this. Make sure the fault has been logged at the dealership (so Mazda knows it’s a pre-existing condition) and don’t be afraid to tackle Mazda Australia’s customer service division to see what can be done.

Does the Mazda CX-5 have a timing belt or chain?
Looking at the popular CX-5 range from 2017 onwards, is the Mazda CX-5 timing belt or chain driven?
There was a big range of engines used in this model CX-5, but the short answer is a very simple one. It doesn’t matter whether your CX-5 has the 2.0 or 2.5-litre (turbo or non-turbo) or even the turbo-diesel engine option, the engine uses a maintenance-free timing chain rather than a rubber toothed belt.
That means, you don’t need to even think about the timing chain, because it should last the life of the engine. A timing belt, meanwhile, needs regular replacement to avoid doing expensive damage to the engine if it should break while the engine was running.

Mazda CX-5 2022 Boot Space
The CX-5’s boot is a good size for a medium SUV and with all five seats up, you get 438L (VDA) of cargo capacity but pop that back seat down and that jumps up to 1340L (VDA), which is great. It’s handy that the rear seat has a 40/20/40 split fold-down because it offers further versatility for cargo storage.
