Someone posted a db chart showing the cx-5 below the X3 which is quieter.
So not as quiet as you might think, from group tests I also believe the Tiguan is quieter.

Standard UK summer Toyo tyres 35A are very good on db levels, they take some beating, I agree road surfaces make a huge difference.
17" models have Geolanders, 19" get Proxies here
Actually not even those.
From a Car and Driver article:
Mazda added more sound insulation and a thicker windshield to make the new CX-5 quieter than before. Our sound-level test—conducted at 70 mph—indicated a 4-decibel decrease from the previous model. At 65 decibels, the CX-5 is quieter than all rivals in this comparison; we recently recorded the same sound level in a $280,000 Bentley Bentayga.

Yes, the S-class Mercs are at 64-65 and several Audi models are at those numbers as are several Lexus models. But you don't get much quieter than that. Now, I would not doubt at 90-100 MPH, the differences will be there but at 50-70, the CX-5 is pretty darn quiet.
Thanks. That's the 2017 model. Was looking at the 2018 model to see if they added any more insulation to justify the slight increase in weight

Ome of those links is for 2018 - but wording is inconclusive
It's pretty much the same article except for the changes made (2017 to 2018) and a few other things
Why the assumption that there will be problems with cylinder deactivation? I worked at Chevy for the last 5 years, until this month. I never had one Silverado, Tahoe, or Suburban customer come back and say they had an issue with the cylinder deactivation. I heard the occasional mention of issues in earlier body styles, but nothing in the recent ones
Good to know!

Exactly. It's a proven and reliable technology.

Wait, Uno, are you serious?
Anyway glad to see you start posting. Must be busy making more money I guess!
To answer the guy worked for Chevy, the inherent problems by cylinder deactivation normally wont show up until 4~5 years or over 50K+ miles depending on how often the CD is activated. Most of time the vehicle is out of the warranty and the owner just uses independent garage to fix the problem and disable the CD. Thats why you wont see the problem often at a Chevy dealer.
Also, Mazda implements CD on a 4-cylinder which is the first in the US. Theres a reason why nobody else wants to use this technology in a 4-cylinder as the risk-vs-reward may not make any sense.
Check the internet. GM's AFM problems are widespread. Lots of issues with misfiring and high oil consumption. They also recalled 370k vehicles in the US a few years ago due to a fire risk from AFM. And they are right now in a class action lawsuit.

My experience with it was that it was flawless, in my Jeep. I hate complexity and all that, but honestly, I'd prefer my 2015 have it than not have it, if I had a magic wand.

You’re judging it without giving it chance. It’s 2018 and maybe, just maybe it will have been developed better than thos older models.
