^Yeah but not as nice as a 332ft-lb diesel while being more efficient than the non-turbo gas(guessing considerably more in practice on the hwy) but each to their own
2.5T EPA numbers will be 2 to 3 less (not 1) on each cycle- best guess 21/28 for the awd CX-5- ie slightly better than the 9er.
If no diesel, yes I'm interested.

If no diesel, yes very interested- Santa Fe other top contender but probably not the turbo on that due to poor fe and cost.
The diesel would suck for performance compared to a 2.5t. Way less horsepower.
The 2.5t might do better on the freeway. Dunno. The current 2.5 runs out of power and taxes the engine heavily above 60mph. The diesel would do awesome on the highway I'd think.
So I just got a text message from my Mazda salesman whom I asked a few months ago to let me know if the Turbo is coming. I always felt that the car would require more power and was never quite satisfied with the 187 ponies it comes with. I just received a message that the 2019 will indeed offer a Turbo. No exact release date known....yet. This is good news!

The fact that a Mazda salesman told you makes it less likely that it's true. You'd be better off asking a Magic 8-ball.
Why would a salesman tease a nonexistent product? I*d think they*d have more incentive to downplay the turbo and convince the buyer that the current model is sufficient.
If your diesel was like ours then performance is actually quite good.
The cx5 2.5t will likely be high 5s 0-60...
Doubtful
Why? The thing weighs the same as the mazda 6 turbo, and under 60mph aero isnt a huge deal.
You got AA yet? Okay then.
