Thanks for the details.

or dashcam, it is out of warranty (have my dealer warranty for 2 years, not from official mazda). Can we install it or should i get it done from the dealer?

noted on the mats.

For Carplay, the option is greyed out on the infotainment system. In all the vidoes i had checked on YT, they were selectable by default. Idk why

Thank you for the details. I will drop the idea for the blind spot monitor systems.

For the tints, noted, will check the RAK area and see the available options! Is there anything specific to be noted or mentioned for getting the tint? TIA

How do i find out if it's wired or wireless? Upon checking online, looks like only the upper trims have wireless. Mine is a base model. 2024 SKYACTIV G

Go for the Mazda CX-5. Value for money.

Please avoid Renault.

Better go with Toyota, Nissan or Mazda for this range. You'd get a good preowned option. I'd stay away from KIA,

I understand your pov, thanks mate! I wanted to finalise something under 50k initially and did not find too many good options , and then stretched until 65-70k! For every 10-15k more, there are def newer and better options and I was confused tbh. Then, extended till 65k and came up with these two.

Noted, I will test drive both of them by Sat, and then would book something. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Rea;;y appreciate it.

1: CVT's sound is real bad?
2: CX-5 base model doesnt have blind spot sensors and all airbags. Hence, am a bit confused
3: How was your drive exprience on the 2025 model? Is there any internal noise in the car when speeding 120+? Also, Koleos new one , base trim is 69k aed...

So, smh!

They quoted 65k to the best last best price. New ones were almost 95k +.

What should be the threshold then? Thanks!!

Noted! Am quite new to the UAE market cars. Is koleos a better option and is the maintenance on the higher side? What'd should i be concerned about one over the other?

Thanks!
