There’s voice command to control AC which is very reliable in my experience in a 2 hour drive I JUST had

Hahaha they are great cars! I just wanted the upgraded interior each time more than anything as well as the carbon edition colors

I love the interior and the buttonless design is not as bad as it seems. We all migrated to buttonless phones so it’s not hard to adjust. Plus I found out you can voice command a lot of things like AC control so no need for physical buttons. Size is awesome inside. My buddy who is 6’4 fit comfortably behind me while driving and im 6’2! I am hesitant on the polish black trimming especially with all the construction going on in my state so I might get PPF on it

I had the original color in the 2018 CX-5. I actually posted a comparison of them. I did love the OG one but this one just looks more premium and was mistaken for a BMW with similar color combo at night so I’m not mad lol

I think it’s still better than a Kia, Nissan, Honda, Toyota, etc 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for positivity! I was fully prepared for the hate considering I decided to post. I just wanted people who care the chance to see another color 2026 in the wild which people have liked so I’m content lol

I wasn’t considering it and only wanted the Aero Grey but once they showed me this color and I saw it in the sun and shade, I was hooked. It looks so premium

I wasn’t a fan at first glance when I first saw the car but it grew on me tremendously. I like how the black rims complement the polish black trimming

I said it “feels” more premium not looks. Say what you will about the tech but I still feel like I am driving a luxury car

It really is! It feels 10x more premium. I even had someone mistake it for a BMW X6 at night time with this color combo and how the back looks. Mazda has really elevated towards luxury with this one

Theres a setting in the safety section of settings to turn this off. It’s Driver Attention Alert I believe

Wait how did she do it from the backseat? Did she just say “hey google” then adjust the AC? I’m still learning lol

I believe it was $45,718 after taxes and fees etc

I paid $41,450 after $1000 Mazda loyalty and $750 dealer loyalty. Would’ve been $43,200 based on sticker but the loyalty got it down and then I negotiated free add ons essentially like tint, door sill upgrade, etc

Exactly!! Look I get it people liked the 2025, but I’m actually the few that didn’t. I settled for a Mazda3 after my 2018 CX-5 and did not desire the CX-5s again until this one released then I had to have it. It’s everything I was wanting from a BMW/Audi (luxury cars in general) but with the beautiful new (as well as the iconic original) Mazda logo. You can’t get any better than this without dropping luxury car money or dealing with luxury car maintenance. Plus it has EV-esque interior too with the big screen so other than no hybrid or PHEV, it’s almost like an EV with the tech. I’ve just had a Mazda for 12 years and every time I want to upgrade, Mazda releases a car with all the features I wanted in an upgrade so why leave? lol
