I'm getting sick of this Copy & Paste design we're getting lately.

Live a little and change things up. Remove the badges and from a distance you can't tell if it's a CX-5 or CX-9. Even the OEM wheels IIRC the CX-3 are identical and ugly as ****!! It's the reason why the CX-3 turned me off when shopping to trade my Father's Nissan Rogue.

Anyways...

At least Honda made changes not just the between the Coupe, Sedan & Hatchback but in TRIMS too. I love that the Sport & Sport Touring (can't wait for it) Hatchbacks are different than the base/lower trims by ADDING/CHANGING with Color options, Aero Kit, Exhaust and Wheels.

I am currently looking for new SUV (compact) and CX5 interior space (leg room) was an issue. I am not sure if they did any improvement in this area.

In this interview with Mazda engineer, the Diesel output will be ~170hp and 310lb/ft. They are also removing the base 2.0l and considering offering the 2.5L with a manual.

My wife loves her 2016.5 CX-5 GT but it's slow...she misses driving manual, if she finds out the 2017 GT is available with manual, she will be pretty upset lol

Meh...engines are the same as in Mazda 3. Too under-powered for a car that size these days. Any news on whether they're still bringing Turbo Diesels to Canada? I think they promised something along the lines of 173 horsepower at 4500 rpm and 310 lb-ft of torque at 2000 rpm. Wonder what it will be priced at

With a displacement of 2.2 litres, this four-cylinder engine is surprisingly powerful. According to emissions regulations in various countries, it produces up to 173 horsepower along with 310 pound-feet of torque. Since our emissions laws are stricter here in Canada and the U.S., we can expect the engine’s torque peak to drop by about 20 lb.-ft.

The diesel mill not only impresses on paper. That generous amount of torque means two things. We get pushed against the seatbacks during launches, and it provides lots of passing power if we feel the need to double a slower-moving vehicle ahead of us. Combined to the CX-5’s remarkable chassis, the dynamic driving characteristics of the vehicle are enhanced by the engine’s performance.

This diesel powertrain isn’t only interesting for its output. After driving nearly 350 km/h on the roads of Japan, shifting from city to countryside, in dense and fluid traffic, the trip computer displayed an average of 6.6 L/100 km. An excellent result, considering that the new Honda CR-V boasts a fuel economy average of 7.3 L/100 km.
