Hey guys,
On the Canadian website, the GX (Base model) does not indicate that it has Cylinder Deactivation.
Is this the case? Or did they just omit it??
Thanks!
Hard to believe its true, but I wish thats the case. Theres no way to tell if the 2.5L is having the cylinder deactivation with a test drive. May be we could tell from the different MPG ratings on window sticker or specification?Hey guys,

Here's a screenshot of Mazda's Canadian Build & Configure page showing the lack of CD on the GX description and its inclusion on the GS:
Note the different mileage figures, both FWD:
GX = 7.8L/100KM (30.17 MPG)
GS = 7.6L/100KM (31.07 MPG)
Based on estimated gas mileage alone I believe 2019 Canadian CX-5 GX DOES NOT have cylinder deactivation! Kudos to Mazda Canada at least keeps one CX-5 model without cylinder deactivation on the 2.5L!Here's a screenshot of Mazda's Canadian Build & Configure page showing the lack of CD on the GX description and its inclusion on the GS:

This definitely is a good thing for Canadians who like the CX-5. Go suggest your co-worker's father getting 2019 GX without cylinder deactivation!Yeah, thanks to everyone who pointed it out - I had looked at the PDF brochure online and noticed the difference.
This is for a co-worker's Dad, so I wanted to be sure.
I'm very surprised.
Musta had a bunch of 2.5L non-CD engines left over from the previous year and decided to bundle them and sell them all in Canada. lol.

Considering potential problems even after a safety recall, and long-term reliability issue from cylinder deactivation, lower trim CX-5 GX is a better choice if he really wants a CX-5.But then he's stuck with the lower-end trim, if that's an issue for him.

Or maybe Mazda has realized the error of their ways, and have stopped producing CD engines, will sell the rest of the CDs as 19s, and go back to the 17 version for 20.
Oh well, that was a nice dream.
I pulled out the old 2018 CX5 brochure I have filed away and it notes that in 2018 the CX5 GX automatic (2.5 l) or GX manual (2.0 l) transmission also doesn't have CD. Only the GS and GT models have CD.
Does Canada get their CX-5s from Japan?
Yes! At least my 2018 CX5 GT was made in Japan.

Too bad you can't get options la carte like days of old.
