Mazda Malaysia has quietly introduced the Mazda CX-5 2.5 in the country, as evidenced by this price list. Fully imported (CBU) from Japan in limited units, the Mazda CX-5 2.5 appears to get all of the locally-assembled (CKD) 2.0 High Spec‘s equipment, plus an i-stop start/stop system, sunroof and a nine-speaker Bose sound system.
However, the CX-5 2.5 CBU does not get the 255/55 R19 wheels fitted to the initial batch of CBU 2.0 cars – it continues to ride on the CKD 2.0’s 225/65 R17 alloys. The 2.5 litre SkyActiv-G four-cylinder petrol engine (also found in the Mazda6 2.5) develops 184 hp at 5,700 rpm and 250 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm, compared to the 2.0 litre SkyActiv-G’s 153 hp at 6,000 rpm and 200 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm.
Estimated prices are thus: RM165,067 for the 2WD and RM175,327 for the 4WD, OTR with insurance. In comparison, the CKD 2.0 car is priced from RM137k-154k, while the early CBU 2.0 car was priced from RM160k-170k.
Quite a number of them are already on oto.my – see them here.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express enthusiasm for the Mazda CX-5 2.5 CBU, highlighting its better power, quality, and features compared to earlier 2.0 models. Many appreciate the price of RM165k-175k, noting it’s competitive, especially as it’s fully imported (CBU). Some mention long waiting times for CKD units and see the CBU as a timely alternative. Concerns about resale value and price over similar SUVs like Honda CR-V are voiced, with some feeling earlier buyers faced disadvantages due to late availability. Overall sentiment is positive, with excitement about the new engine option and the value it offers, although a few regret missing out on the initial models at launch. There's also some frustration over pricing strategies and market positioning.
