Not that I'll ever get to try it out but have any car magazines tested the top speed of the Signature?

Is 130mph with a turbo? And if with a turbo with regular gas (227HP) or premium (250HP)?????

Gas used doesnt matter, its governed to 130. Get a tune and you can raise it, but drag and the floaty swirly feeling on the skinny stock tires wont be much fun.

Top speed (governor limited) for CX-5 is 120 mph.

CX-5 Specs - Car and Driver

If CX-5s top speed was 130 mph, Mazda wont be able to use H-rated tires on lower trims with 17 tires from factory.

That Car and Driver article describes the non turbo version I believe.

In a Dec 2018 article in C&D about the 2019 Signature model they give 130 mph as the electronicly limited top speed.

I*m wondering if anyone has pushed a factory Cx-5 to its actual top speed. Tires aside, that SUV body and only 250 Hp, I*m wondering if it could really make 130 mph.

Yes, the 250hp will overcome the air drag. Not by a whole lot, but it will.

It already takes a white for my NA engine to get up to 100MPH. I wonder how long it'll take to reach 130MPH

They are pizza cutters. I know everyone likes Pizza, but come on.

Replacing them with 235/70/16 when the 225/65/17 Yokohamas are 50-75% worn.

Maximum I've gone in mine was 110 MPH. I hadn't tried to go farther than that.

Yes it would be interesting to see some car magazine test it to it's governed speed. Agree that with body shape etc. 130mph seems a bit of a stretch.

It could have a drag coefficient of about .7-.8, which is 2-3x that of the average car almost, and still get there.

Now you might need the Bonneville Salt Flats to make it happen, but I believe itll do it for sure. Lol
