 What is up you guys and welcome back to another one if you are new to the channel I am Goldpony and today we are in the new 2019 Mazda CX-5 courtesy of Jack G Mbalvo Mazda in York PA and I am excited to be in this one today you know why because there is a new engine available for the 2019 CX-5 and I happen to have it today so without further ado let's start with pricing. So there will be several different trim levels of course for the 2019 Mazda CX-5 first one being the sport that is going to start at $24,350 then the touring for $26,615 and the grand touring for $30,045 that was all front wheel drive to add all wheel drive simply add $1,400 to those prices then there are two more trim levels being the grand touring reserve for $34,870 that comes standard with all wheel drive as well as the signature for $36,890 that's the one that we have today but so then I alluded to the power on the new CX-5 there are two different engine setups available for this one first one belonging to the sport touring and grand touring that is going to be powered by a 2.5 liter naturally aspirated four cylinder putting out 187 horsepower at 6000 rpm 186 pound feet of torque available at 4000 rpm power is going to be sent to the front wheels or all wheels through a six speed automatic transmission giving you MPG numbers coming in at 25 in the city 31 on the highway for the front wheel drive 24 city 30 highway for the all wheel drive but then there is the other engine setup and this one's going to be in the grand touring reserve in the signature and this engine setup is the one that is all new for the 2019 CX-5 but also found on the CX-9 as well as the larger Mazda 6 sedan if you are curious but so this engine setup is going to be the 2.5 liter turbocharged four cylinder engine putting out 227 horsepower at regular 87 octane but 250 horsepower at 93 octane coming in at 5000 rpm and 310 pound feet of torque available at a very low 2000 rpm so definitely quite a bit more power with this engine setup that we have today that power is only going to be sent to all four wheels through Mazda's all wheel drive system and that power is going to be sent to the ground through a six speed automatic giving you MPG numbers coming in at 22 in the city 27 on the highway and so that before we do any accelerations I did want to mention there is a driving mode singular a sport driving mode that button is going to be located just to the left of the shifter there but if you press that it did just immediately downshift for me it's going to hold the RPMs in a much higher level it's also going to adjust the throttle response a little bit so it is going to hold the RPMs in that sweet spot so to speak giving you more power on demand there but having said that I think it is timeless to a quick little acceleration in the new 2019 CX-5 with the new engine and let's see how quickly we can get this one here up to speed definitely got a good bit of pep there to it and I wouldn't say there was any turbo lag either so pretty nice acceleration on the new CX-5 especially the turbocharged engine we have today and we'll also mention if you wanted to shift through your own gears you slide the shifter to the left you do have the availability to do that although this one does not come with paddle shifters who really needs paddle shifters on an SUV anyways but to go along with that acceleration braking is equally important let's go on the 2019 CX-5 for the non turbocharged engine you will get 11.7 inch ventilated front disc 11.9 inch solid rear discs and I mentioned it that way because if you do go with it turbocharged engine front rotors are actually gonna be upsized a little bit bumping it up to 12.6 inches and when it comes to the braking feel not too bad but so to go along with the 2019 improvements besides the turbocharged engine of course there are some handling improvements for this one as well including the new G vectoring control plus system yes Mazda has added a plus moniker to that G vectoring control system that they previously had and basically what that plus designation is going to signify as a new feature that applies braking to the outside front wheel when the driver straightens the wheel which Mazda says is going to improve stability and while I am not sure if there is any improved stability I can tell you that the steering feel is quite nice especially coming off of just reviewing the 2019 Hyundai Tucson steering feel does feel a little heavier in the CX-5 definitely points you in the direction that you want to go a little more precisely than the Hyundai Tucson since I just reviewed it so I do like that in the CX-5 but then in addition to that Mazda has also noted that they have reworked the suspension for 2019 making for a more smoother ride as well and when it comes to ride quality I really have had no issues probably wouldn't say it is as smooth as the 2019 Tucson but I will say it is not bad at all though certainly would not have any issues taking this on long road trips or anything like that for as the cabin noise goes there is a little bit of engine noise that comes into the cabin perhaps because I have the turbocharged engine but we'll say it is a little louder than most other SUVs in this class and as far as visibility goes absolutely zero issues when it comes to that usually smaller SUVs you're really not gonna have any issues but I can see perfectly fine out the back but in addition to that there is also actually a head-up display that I'm looking at right now telling me that the speed limit is 15 miles per hour and I am going 21 so I don't think you can get a ticket for that corrects me if I'm wrong but that is pretty cool that that's there and it is super bright as well and it is adjustable I wanted to make it a little higher up or a little lower but that is pretty cool that that's there it definitely helps you keep your eyes on the road a little better than I guess you otherwise would be able to but enough of the driving dynamics you guys because this is a very nice looking SUV let's check out the exterior of the 2019 Mazda CX-5 and so starting up front one of my favorite parts about the CX-5 is every single trim level of this one will give you LED headlights with daytime running lights LEDs usually don't come standard on SUVs especially in this segment they're usually reserved for the upper trim levels but every single trim level is gonna get it with the CX-5 and you will get the automatic feature with that as well so the headlights can turn on automatically if you want them to and if you go with the touring trim level and up those LED headlights are also gonna be auto leveling so that is really a safety feature in itself as well but in the middle of those headlights that front grille will be the same among every single trim level definitely looks nice up there and LED fog lights are gonna be reserved for the grand touring trim level and up but then make your way to the side on this one body colored power adjustable side mirrors with LED integrated turd signals will come standard on every single trim level and again those LED integrated turd signals usually will only come standard on the higher trim levels for most other manufacturers out there so that is nice also zooming out a little bit you will find a chrome belt line molding along the CX-5 when it comes to the wheel setup there will be 17 by 7 inch aluminum alloys for the sport and touring trim levels that is gonna get bumped up to 19 inches if you go with the grand touring or reserve and the signature trim that we have today again 19 inches but they are gonna come with a unique dark silver finish to them but so then make your way to the back of the CX-5 there is a rear spoiler with the integrated brake light along with the rear window wiper just below that for all trims you will find LED tail lights for the grand touring trim level and up and just below it all dual exhaust outlets with chrome tips so you guys know what I have to do next let's check out the way this new turbocharged engine sounds and as always here is that exhaust clip but so now since we are around back as far as opening that rear hatch goes there is a button on the key fob if you like but that button is going to equate to a power lift gate if you go with the grand touring trim level and up and once open up cargo capacity is gonna come in at 30.9 cubic feet with the seats up and if you fold those seats down it is gonna come in at 59.6 cubic feet then make your way up to the rear leg room that comes in at 39.6 inches so actually good bit back there for reference I'm an even six feet tall this is how much space I had back there also there's rear passengers will find a rear center armrest with cup holders if you go with a touring trim level and up and again with that touring trim level and up rear air vents back there as well and heated rear seats if you go with a grand touring reserve or signature so we do have those back there today but they're taking a look at the front seats there are manually adjustable claw seats for the sport trim level you will get a power driver seat with a leatherette finish for the touring and those seats will be heated as well actually grand touring is going to give you a power passenger seat then the grand touring reserve and signature trim levels are going to give you ventilated front seats with a Napa leather that is definitely very high end but so then taking a look forward when it comes to the steering wheel it is tilt and telescoping manually adjustable for all trims but also leather wrapped for all trim levels that is very nice and for the grand touring reserve and signature it is also heated which I do have on right now because it is 28 degrees out today in Pennsylvania very cold but so now then when it comes to the startup let me first start by showing you guys the key here you do lock unlock that button to pop the rear hatch but it is of course keyless entry though so I'm simply just going to put my foot on the brake and press the engine start button which is located just up top of the driver's right knee there but so then once started up tachometer is going to be on your left fuel gauge is on your right and the speedometer is part of a digital setup a digital display front and center you get a cool little CX-5 intro when you turn this one on so I found that pretty cool but loose gauges will also tell you how many miles you have left until you hit empty but taking a look at overall interior quality there is an overhead sunglass holder that will come standard for all trim levels if you go with the touring trim level and up you will get dual zoom climbing control as well and the grand touring trim level and up is not only going to give you a power moon roof but an auto dimming rear view mirror with homelink controls are up to three different garage doors so rather than having the garage door opener that vibrates on your sun visor all the time you actually have it just under the rear view mirror there so that is definitely convenient and less annoying as well did would also mention since I have the very top trim level today there is LED ambient lighting absolutely everywhere including in the back for the rear passengers you don't usually find LED lighting back there found that pretty cool also wood trim accents just above the glove box there and that ties into the doors as well and again Napa leather finishes throughout so definitely a very high end feel for a Mazda for a Mazda CX-5 so I got to say I am very impressed but I think it is time we make our way to the tech display on this one because all trim levels will give you a 7-inch color touchscreen display will come standard with Bluetooth and audio streaming and if you go with the touring trim level and up that will come with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay meaning if you have a smartphone simply hook it up to the CX-5 and you have free navigation as well as the ability to like and dislike your Pandora songs up there speaking of when it comes to the radio settings if you go with the sport or touring trim level you will get six speakers however if you go with the grand touring trim level and up you will get a 10 speaker Bose sound system so you guys know what we have to do next let's turn on the radio see what we got playing this morning and let's test out the clarity of this 10 speaker Bose sound system a ton of bass on this sound system definitely I've had Bose sound systems in my previous cars and it is absolutely amazing I've never had any issues with Bose failing or anything like that so definitely a very nice sound system on the higher trim levels of the CX-5 here but so the last thing I wanted to mention on the tech display is when you do put the CX-5 in reverse you will find a rear view camera for every single trim level however that signature trim level that we have today is gonna add a couple more things as well including front and rear parking sensors so it's gonna beep at you if you get a little too close to an object as well as a 360 degree view camera and that button is gonna be located just by the driver's left knee there but that's gonna let you know what is around you everywhere around the CX-5 so that is definitely pretty nice but as always that is going to lead me into safety and so to start there are front side inside curtain airbags also in the back latch aka lower anchors and tethers to children for the rear car seats rear child door locks also standard for all trim levels tire pressure monitoring system also all trim levels though this is where it gets good blind spot monitoring with rear cross traffic alert comes standard for all trim levels that is definitely not a standard feature usually fine and if you go with a touring trim level and up you will also get adaptive cruise control with stop and go in the touring that's pretty nice also smart city brake support with pedestrian detection and lane departure warning with lane keep assist and so but that is about it for this one you guys thank you so much
