How is it inside...does it feel cheap, anything out of place, blind spots or anything that doesnt make sense in the 5 days you've had it? Thanks.
Interesting article. It appears from the article that they've only managed to meet the emissions requrements by coming up with their own SCR sysrem. Too bad.
There are threads here about this! Mazda officially announced that their 2.2l diesel is coming to the US in Q2 2017! it is going to be an option on the CX-5, I am not sure what other models will get this option.
Unlikely. VW/Audi diesels are done in North America. There's a small door left open for a high-end premium model, but the Audi A3 is basically a Golf, and those are done.
Im gonna drive one this week. I've read reviews that comment on the cheap plain Jane plastic interior-this is an luxury CUV after all.
I Love it, It has blind spot sensors in the mirror, and even shines a round light as you get out with JAGUAR in the middle. It is pure luxury, that is why I bought it, less than anything else I looked at, and more options. Great value for a classy SUV.
Let me know how to add pictures and I will gladly do that.
This time they're saying they'll bring the diesel CX-5 to North America.
If you look at the Specs for the F-Pace the gas engine gets 23mpg highway and the diesel gets 33mpg highway, that is a 43% increase in fuel mileage. This may be a pretty extreme example because of the vast difference in power of the 2 engines, 340 vs. 180 HP.
Yes, not exactly apples and apples. Cannot find it now, but how about something like the Touareg? Possibly I am in error, but it seems some makes were only like 5 MPG apart. Still a lover of oil-burners, and wish they would come back to the U.S.
You have to look at it in percentage form rather than in MPG form because a 5mpg increase on a 20mpg car is 25%, but on a 40mpg car you would have to increase the mileage by 10mpg to get a 25% increase. The way we rate fuel mileage in the US has a tendency to skew the way people view the numbers a bit. If you convert MPG to gallons/100 miles, I think it makes the comparison more clear.
At least the torque ratings are close: 332 vs. 318, I think.
Agreed, the diesel emission systems are becoming overwhelming. Test drove the Genesis myself, and very impressive, especially when price is factored in. We need something a bit more utilitarian, so considering A Toyota Highlander. What scares me in the gasoline world, especially with Audi/VW products, are the intake valve deposits. Toyota is now incorporating port/direct injection, which should solve the issue. Don't know for sure, but I highly suspect turbo engines are worse, the higher pressures creating additional EGR gases.
