At 16:58 I clocked his 0-60 at 3.9 seconds. Then I remembered it's Canada and is set up for KPH.
Came to say this. Uh...it's ******* winter?Because Mazda staged a press event in BC, supplying the cars.
Unfortunately Mazda's push upmarket isn't convincing enough for me, I really don't like the tablet type 7" screen, for me it should be bigger and built in. Audi Q3 have ditched the on dash screen now and built it into the dash.

Overall, these "opinion' pieces are very positive, with one guy saying that the CX-5 handles like an X1 and is like 95% of the 48K RDX. I think they have a winner and could see the increasing sales 20%.
Yeah, but why stage it there? They did not randomly choose BC in December. They did it to showcase specific attributes of the CX5.
I can confirm it does, though it says "Sig" and is barely noticeable.
Edited to add that badge says "Sg" not "Sig".
yup located below the Cx-5 badge on the rear left side trunk area
95% of RDX?? That's an insult. The RDX has a significant "dead pedal affect", the interior is a cluttered mess and the engine sounds like crap. There's nothing about the RDX that's better then the CX-5 Sig IMHO.
How odd.Not sure what they were going for when they used "Sg" to identify the Signature model. It's on a plaque with the AWD. I hardly noticed it when I picked up my Signature the end of Nov and very discrete. Maybe SGT (for SignatureTurbo) would have been better. GT-R sounds so much nicer than Sg but love the most everything about the Signature model.

But Their whole line up q5 q7 all Have tablet style navigation. Matter of fact I think all luxury car brands have this.
Sure the new Q3 has it built in but I guess it*s a matter or preference and taste.
That's BS. Not all CX-5's are created equal. What Mazda's thrown at the CX-5 Sig. trim can go toe to toe with the upper trims of Q5, RDX, X3, etc. Materials, features, driver aids, performance, handling, etc, etc. The only thing lacking is the $10k higher price tag and the brand perception.
I see no reason why Mazda can't use trim level to differentiate "luxury" from the rest of the pack. Ideally they'd create a new brand like Infinity, Acura, etc but they're way too small.
It remains to be seen if consumers will perceive the Sig trim as luxury/performance at excellent value relative to the competition or an overpriced CX-5.
I can't wait for someone to add intake, downpipe, and tune to the new 2.5T and see if they can get 325 HP out of it on 93. With better wheels/tires you would have a cuv that would surprise most Q5, X3, GLC300 and Fpace owners. And all for $20K less. Of course there are still SQ5, X3M, GLC AMG, and Fpace SC that would be faster, but at much higher cost.
let*s just ignore digital dash tech, pano roofs and no car play. Carry on.
