Mazda CX5 Forum in UAE

I'm planning to trade my fully loaded 2016 CX4, 2.5 AWD, for a used 2.5 AWD CX5. The main considerations are: 1. Since both CX4 and CX5 don't hold their value well, the cost of switching cars should be low, probably just an extra 10-20k. 2. The biggest frustration with driving a Mazda is that, except for BMW, no other cars on the market look good to me. But I can't afford a BMW, and Mazda isn't really stepping up. I'm thinking of getting serious about buying when the 3.3 CX60 is available in China, so for now, I'm just making do. My questions are: 1. From 2017 to 2023, were there any particular years with lots of issues? I remember one year the Atenza had severe noise problems, but I'm not sure if that was resolved. 2. Does the CX5 have any common problems? For the 2.5 AWD version, does the vehicle's central shaft heat up after long drives? 3. Does the fully loaded version come with BOSE loudspeakers? Which year was that??? Please let me know if there's anything else important to consider. Thanks.

Has anyone purchased the 3-year 6-time or 5-year 10-time maintenance package on Yema Starry Sky? Also, I'm looking for a car owner group, thanks!

Friends, does anyone else experience a dull thud sound when driving the 2024 model -5 over bumps?

Does your CX-5 make a cicada-like noise at low speeds, especially noticeable when coasting at 60? Have any of you experienced this?

Hey guys, can someone help me out? Why isn't my USB drive or SD card responding when I plug it in?

Just got the 2.0 Pro. I'm used to driving with one hand, but with this car, I don't dare to. It always feels like it's fighting for the steering wheel with you.

Where can I find the total mileage display in the GWM Pro when it only shows A and B trip meters?

How long or how many kilometers after the first maintenance should I go for the next one?

How do I modify the brakes on the CX-5? They're too soft and the stopping distance is too long.

Can the headlights on the 2015 model be upgraded to LED, and does it require modifying the original components?

Can anyone tell me how to turn on the headlight welcome lighting feature? Thanks!

Sometimes when accelerating at low speeds, the engine revs but doesn't increase speed. What could be the reason?

Hi everyone! What can I use to block the air inlets on both sides of the front license plate frame of the 2024 model - 5?

I recently got a CX-5 less than a month ago, and I noticed that when starting the car cold and shifting to D gear, there's a noticeable "jerking" sensation as the car moves forward. After driving for a while and the car warms up, when switching between N and D gear, the jerking sensation is still there but much less noticeable. Is this normal?

Is the engine and transmission of the Mazda CX-5 imported?
