2015 Mazda CX-5 Test drive review
Crossover Mazda CX-5 all this year offered the Russians with
only one 2-liter engine. And suddenly - such a gift in the name of
"potyazhelevshy» 2.5 Skyactiv-G. Sellers, with whom we talked the other
day about the latest innovations, they say that much awaited "adult"
engine. The reason is clear: a segment in which positioned the CX-5 is
different nedetskiy competition, and all with a single power supply star from
the sky to get uneasy.And let it automatically makes the CX-5 is more expensive by
75 000, fans of the brand and the active drive is unlikely to alienate. Quite
the contrary.

The company Mazda Motor Rus predicts that the appearance in the
line 2.5-liter engine will draw on more than 50% of all sales of the crossover.
In 2012 (to be exact - with the II quarter) together Russians have become more
13000 "Test X Fifth", which immediately brought the car to 2nd place
in the lineup Mazda. In 2013, the projected 17 percent increase in sales
obschesegmentny, and Mazda have all chances to "escalate the
atmosphere." In any case, the company plans to implement harbors in Russia
about 20,000 CX-5.

So, what constitutes 2.5 Skyactiv-G, and what this engine
compared to the 2-liter "namesake"? Immediately it should be
emphasized that this engine will be available only in four-wheel drive
modifications, and only a 6-step "automatic" - the smaller it is not
exchanged. According to the power output is "novice" makes his
younger brother blush: 192 hp compared to 150 hp Moreover, this is achieved
"weighty" horsepower at 5700 rev / min (2 in liter at 6000 rev /
min).

2.5 Skyactiv-G has a compression ratio of 13: 1. This is,
perhaps, not a record of 14: 1, as in "dvuhlitrovika", but on the
characteristics of the traction engine to track the difference will not work.
The maximum torque of 256 Nm at 4000 rev / min (against 208 Nm at 4000 rev /
min in 2-liter versions). The indicator of the average flow "95th"
gasoline only 0.6 liters (7.3 l / 100 km versus 6.7 liters) more. Agree a
trifle.
An additional set of dry relizovskih digits note performance
indicators. "Youngest", according to the passport, can go 187 km / h,
"eldest" - 194 km / h. If someone difference 7 km / h does not mean
much, they say, on our roads neither one nor the other to achieve the speed is
not always possible, so the acceleration data can be easier to find a favorite:
7.9 seconds to "hundreds" (2 5 liters) versus 9.4 seconds (2 liters).
If you put one in a number of key competitors, on the line
acceleration Mazda, is likely to be among the favorites. The closest in terms
of starting emotions including 200-horsepower turbocharged VW Tiguan.
"German" is spending to achieve 100 km / h in 8.5 seconds.
180-horsepower (2.5 liters) Toyota RAV4 has set for itself a record of 9.4
seconds. This is followed by a 1.6-liter 182-horsepower turbocharged Ford Kuga
- 9, 7 seconds, and the creators of Nissan X-Trail and Mitsubishi Outlander
still have time to bring their heroes from the 10-second zone.

Even on approach to Chelyabinsk, in the vicinity of which
was laid route test drive, I thought that with the 2.5-liter engine, "Test
X Fifth" can somehow compensate for the "loss" in the model
lineup related CX-7. And here I mean, of course, the size and the internal
space and power in nature. After all, under the hood of the CX-7 was installed,
though similar in terms of the engine, but still older than Skyactiv. Its
power, as we all remember, was 163 hp, and dynamic over clocking did not fit
into 10 seconds.
2.5-liter CX-5 on the road is good. Laid on in his arsenal
headroom you can always rely on, including when overtaking. But where exactly
are useful additional "half-liter" it is when driving uphill. I cannot
say that in the course of our test met a lot of slopes and descents (region
though listed the Southern Urals, but these mountains is still far away), but
those that are "drawn", were conquered "Mazda" playfully.
However, it should make a reservation; we are talking about
a driving style, which is called the average turnover. Motor on bottoms less
interesting. So advice: if you want to be "in good shape", do not
hesitate to press the gas pedal. Another point - lose money because of more
frequent visits to the gas station. I can say that the manufacturer's 7.3 l /
100 km with a colleague, we did not get to the crew. When aggressive behavior
came about 11 liters, with modest punching the accelerator pedal - just over 8
liters, which will agree, can also be considered a good indicator for a car
with a grown-up capacity of the power unit.

When driving on a straight line in 6th gear to stop gassing
and introduction to the kick-down makes "automatic" descend
immediately by 2 points down, giving the driver a chance for sudden
acceleration. Tachometer needle in such a situation immediately superimposed on
the red zone, and you do not have time to notice how just flashed his stern
truck turns into view mirrors.

By the way, when the peak of revolutions of the crankshaft
box holds the stage a few seconds, as if asking a question to the owner: "What
should I do?” Not received in this time period a clear answer, there is an
automatic up shift. Do not like such a regime? Use the manual. The only pity is
- there are no paddle shifters.
But for the sake of fashion and fuel economy has a system of
"start / stop", and already in the base set. However, in the original
version of Mazda it is called a little differently - I-stop. This system uses
the energy of the combustion engine is restarted mixture, i.e. starter is
restarted after the engine is not activated. I-stop not only helps to save
fuel, but also provides a quick, smooth restart - only 0.35 seconds. This is
one of the best performances among competitors.
Finally - the price. A minimum amount is 2.5-liter version
of 1,274,000 rubles. This equipment Active, a master list of equipment that
looks like this: a full range of advanced safety systems, cloth seats, leather
steering wheel, gearshift lever and parking brake, 2-zone climate control with
CZ, heated front seats, rain sensor, light and pressure tire, cruise control
with steering wheel controls, music with 6 speakers and support for MP3, wheels
R17 et al.
Options Supreme estimated at 1.404 million rubles. It is, of
course, interesting. In addition to the items listed have just added leather
seats, power driver's seat, audio control on the steering wheel, parking
sensors front and rear, rear view camera, 19-inch wheels.

Not far off the launch diesel version the CX-5. The press
service of Mazda Motor Rus said that such a car to the conclusion to our market
is ready - it is small. The official website of the company's 2.2-liter 175-hp
version of the crossover is already registered. And dealers, talking about the
CX-5, announce it at all. I hope that "straddle" diesel we also work.
In the meantime, I suggest "mazdovodam" follow our example and
personally test the 2.5-liter car. At least for once you hear the word
"half a liter of" do not ask a stupid question: "Half a liter of
what?"
