Meanwhile established luxury brands (such as merc) are bringing out cars that start around 30K. It'll be interesting to see what/how mazda develops in the next 5 years

Steamin' hard at us with all 168hp and 290# torque...
So you keep saying. We get it, you*re quite happy with the 2.5T but you*ve neither driven the diesel nor read a review from a trusted source so why not reserve judgement until then. You never know, you might be able to rubbish the diesel with some justification.
I await it...for year 2, or is it 3, now?
Is Jaguar the only premium/luxury brand still offering diesels? Even BMW dropped them from their American lineup.
What has this comment got to do with anything? Mercedes Benz don*t have anything that is availble for 30k in this segment.
Diesels are also great for pulling large loads without having as large of an impact on mileage. Gas Turbos would take a much bigger hit.
Maybe not an SUV for 30k, but the point being the lux brands are bringing out lower price cars while this diesel drops with a ridiculous starting price. MB GLC, Audie Q3, Infiniti q50, Lexus NX for example start below the price of a diesel cx5, and all with a 200+ hp engine.
Does the extra $5K get a factory standard trailer hitch, or that extra?
Even worse comparison now. The diesel model is also the top trim while the other models you list are entry levels with another 20k to match the diesel CX5.
You*re being silly now.
As a member mentioned before,
since the engine is already developed, they are probably releasing it to recoup some of the R&D costs.
