- 2016 Mazda CX-5 GS
I believe it is...I used it on my Ford Escape about 6 years ago. We hit -28 today when I was getting the kids ready this morning. a remote starter would be great for the winters we have been having lately.
Who else is waiting impatiently for the 2016 CX-5?
- Thread starter skisintheback
- Start date
Great to see the excitement around the '16 CX-5. I'm still happy with my '15 but I would be excited too with the new tech.

Looks like the first North American review of a 2016 CX-5. http://rideapart.com/articles/2016-mazda-cx-5-first-drive-mid-cycle-refresh-brings-new-tech-class

I'm a bit confused about their description of the i-ActivSense equipment. My understanding was that Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) was the short range 18MPH autobrake that was offered in 2015, but Smart Brake Support (SBS) was new in i-ActivSense and went all the way up to 90MPH. The article seems to imply that SCBS and SBS are the same thing.
Did I read the fine print wrong somewhere?

@Wiley264.
You're right, they're different. I went back and read the article and noticed that several paragraphs had been changed in the past hour, ironically, one of them now reflects the difference between SBS and SCBS, where before it didn't.
Cool link about SBS and SCBS here http://www2.mazda.com/en/technology/safety/precrash_safety/sbs.html
I love technology!

I wouldn't call that a review...it is merely an article stating the new features that comes in the new '16 CX-5.

Yeah, you're right. There's a bit at the bottom about driving impressions, but nothing crazy. I frequent RideApart for motorcycle stuff and when I found that some 2016 CX-5 content was on there, I thought I'd share. Looking forward to seeing what the magazines have to say.

Agreed, but it's nice to see someone in the US acknowledging that it exists. Mazda seems to be intent on keeping the launch as quiet as possible. Presumably it's because they want to sell off the 2015s, but the armchair commentator in me can't help wondering if Mazda is throwing away the PR opportunities the launch provides.

Sorry, didn't mean to sound rude to you, my comment was more so directed towards the author of that article.

No worries, no offense taken! I can't wait to see more articles on the 2016s in the coming months!
Definitely - I have to admit, I got excited when I saw you posting a link to a review, lol.
Bummer it didn't turn out to be a true review!
If you want to build one to see some options and colors, use the Canadian site (http://www.mazda.ca/MciWeb/configEn...ction=continue&vehicleCode=CX5&modelYear=2016) and use zip code A0A1B0. At least you can see the colors and what the options include. The silver looks very different and the titanium flash looks good on the Mazda 3s.
But I won't be able to order this one in the USA:
