Yes although I imagine there would be a lot of overlap if they offered all four here, especially when you consider we also get both the CX-8 and CX-9 as well. It might make more sense to bring just the CX-60, CX-80 and CX-90 which could act like a premium range to the CX-5, CX-8 and CX-9.

I wasn’t sure about the exterior styling when it was first revealed, but I think it looks fantastic in this spec! The interior looks great too, and I love the new digital instrument cluster. Performance looks very strong, and of course being a PHEV it will have very low running costs. It was...

I think I prefer this lower-spec one as well. The vents look sleeker and the overall design looks sharper and less blunt-nosed. The higher-spec bumper has some awkward shapes which are particularly apparent in the lighter colours.

I created another Photoshop hack job, this time based on a red CX-60 using Volvo XC-60 wheels: The original image appears to be a base model due to the black plastic lower trims and different front bumper design to the other images we've seen: I'm still not a fan of the weird looking...

I must admit I'm not a huge fan of the exterior design, although the pictures of that red one look pretty good. I guess it depends on the spec and colour. I've done some rough Photoshopping of the white one to see how it would look with a blacked-out grill, bigger wheels (from an Audi RSQ8) and...

Love it! The body kit looks great with those wheels. I was thinking of getting the same one, but it was a $2k+ option in Australia and I couldnt justify it 😩

Mine were also 3. Once theyre clamped on they wont rattle. Note that I painted the ends of the original tips black so they were less visible inside. Theres another thread on here about exhaust tips if you need more ... err ... tips :P

Thanks! Those tips should fit, but Im just not sure if theyll look too big. Mine already look pretty big at 100mm.

Hehe, thanks! I actually think the CX-5 is one of the best looking SUVs on the market, especially with the right stance. It puts a lot of more expensive SUVs to shame, let alone other SUVs in its own price bracket. Of course Im not biased at all :P

Couple more pictures in better lighting. You can also see the new 4" exhaust tips I've fitted.

Thanks ziggi! I havent had the chance to test it in the wet yet as its been pretty dry here, but Ill report back once I have. Cheers!

That color combo and wheel design look excellent! Great choice!

I think the main reason people tend to go with 245/45/20 is that its closest to the overall diameter of the standard setup. Having said that, I would probably go with 255/45/20 if I was going with the same size all round because they would look a bit more substantial inside the wheel arches...

I also prefer the clean and sharp lines of the CX-5, but theres no denying that the Merc has striking road presence. I have a custom number plate. The standard ones are a bit bigger and have 6 digits. 275 with a +35 offset might protrude too much. Im already pushing the limit with a +45...

Thanks guys, I do like the more aggressive stance, especially from the rear. It almost reminds me of the Mercedes GLE Coupe, which is not a bad thing in my eyes!

Got my wheels and springs fitted and Im very happy with how it has turned out. Wheels are a staggered fitment off my old car in size 20x8.5 +35 (front) and 20x9.5 +45 (rear) with 245/45r20 and 275/40r20 tyres. Ride quality is surprisingly good. It feel slightly more pillowy than the standard...

Those wheels do look awesome on your car. I really like that colour combo. Too bad Im in a different country on the other side of the world! Ive recently taken delivery of a 2019 CX-5 GT Turbo in Soul Red and will be transferring the 20 wheels from my previous-gen CX-5 onto the new one in the...
