It’s a 2019, yeah I plan on getting it looked at. 5 year warranty is up in mid February. 100% outdoor parked unfortunately.

Hey folks. Last winter the drivers side door of my CX5 became very heavy and hard to open, especially when the temperatures got well below freezing. Initially I just figured that the hinge would need fresh lubricant, although I have never lubed the doors on any vehicle in 30 years and have...

2017 Golf R. Lots of fun. Surprising to say, my CX5 has more torque!

I could have wrote the exact same thing. Finding a Hyundai dealer that wasn't a dirtbag was pretty hard and that pretty sad. They are behind their competitors on this front for sure. We were settled on the Santa Fe 100%. Thankfully their incompetence forced us to keep looking and we tried out...

Amen.

I need to maximize my time when taking the kids to swimming lessons, every bit counts! ;) Jokes aside, I will try it out so my butt dyno can evaluate.

The dealer also wouldn't have put 91 in it which helps. I've only had one tank of 87, looking forward to see how it feels after a few tanks of 91.

Ha, that's funny. Same thing here. Likes the Santa Fe, but the experience was more numb and power was lacking. The CX5 test drive sealed the deal.

310lbs/ft of torque gets you moving off the line very quickly. 6.2s 0-60 is quite a difference. The question isn't "is it faster?", for most it's likely "do I really need the power?".

I think it's easily the sportiest iof the bunch, but that is not always everyone's cup of tea. Most buyers in the segment focus on comfort vs driving dynamics. They can buy the RAV, I'll take the CX5. :)

I can't speak to the off-roading capability but the 2019 RAV4 was one of the vehicles I cross shopped before I bought my CX5 Turbo. I liked the powertrain, pretty stout and good shift logic but unexciting. Decent ergonomics but bad infotainment, nothing new for a Toyota. 2019's do have carplay...

Went from a 2009 CRV, i to was sick of underpowered cars. Test drove everything, CX5 turbo stands out from the crowd. Great overall car already but the power of the turbo makes it really scoot. I have a 2017 Golf R so I wanted to love the Tiguan but its engine is just so lacklustre, and VW...

When I test drove mine last week I was shocked at the low end torque and mid range punch. If money isn't a huge factor I can't see why you wouldn't go for it. Power fixes everything. :)
