For those who have been waiting for the Mazda CX-5 to be offered with a turbocharged petrol engine in Malaysia, good news! Bermaz has announced that the 2019 model will be launched very soon, and you can start placing your orders starting from tomorrow.
Specific details aren’t out yet, but Bermaz did confirm the new variant would be equipped with a SkyActiv-G 2.5 litre turbo four-cylinder engine and all-wheel drive. Referring to the Japan-spec version, the engine should serve up 230 PS at 4,250 rpm and 420 Nm of torque at 2,000 rpm, with a six-speed SkyActiv-Drive automatic being the most likely transmission pairing.
Aside from the addition of a turbo variant, the rest of the 2019 CX-5 line-up should be updated with new features as well. Using Japan as a reference point again, these will likely include a digital instrument cluster (like that in the latest Mazda 3), new climate control switchgear, a windscreen-projected head-up display, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto support and many more.
The second-generation CX-5 was first introduced here back in October 2017, and was offered with two naturally-aspirated SkyActiv-G petrol engines (in 2.0 and 2.5 litre capacities) as well as a sole SkyActiv-D diesel 2.2 litre powerplant. The SUV was given a slight update a year later with the addition of an electric powered tailgate on selected variants.
Interested parties can head on over to Sunway Pyramid to check out the SUV in person, along with other models, as there will be a Mazda roadshow taking place there from September 4 to 9, 2019. Excited yet?

I’m so excited waiting for this game changing Mazda CX-5. Not only it has tons of advance technologies, it also has complete safety features, excellent quality, powerful engine and futuristic Kodo design. This game changer does make me feel more confident in driving rather than a China X70

Mario, we don’t need this kind of game over poll. It”s already clear that game changing CX-5 and Hyundais are better than China X70
By then, better buy Proton X70 240hp range topper
Habislah x70!
so unpatriotik if u buy this mazda, but not X70.
Buy X70 then can still buy an Exora for the butler to transport our maids. Better than cramp everyone into crampy CX-5.
Need to do Walnut cleaning for every 45kkm like VW or not?
Hidden due to lowcomment rating. Click here to see.
this cheaper CX5, which pipped the more established X3 and GLC in many overseas comparo.
But Hyundai Malaysia is also worst than Mazda, Honda, Nissan, Subaru and Proton
CX-5 2.5T costs about the same as the Harrier 2.0T here in Sg $160K. but no MRCC.
Buddy,
Since when Singapore selling turbo charged CX-5?
Harrier Turbo and the new Rav 4(Hybrid) are contenders for this though…
Safe to say, they are both worse than Proton X70
Hyundai Service is also bad. Take few months to resolve but still haven’t repair when delivery came out
Enough of the game over nonsense Mario. Hyundai is a global game changing carmaker that have sold millions of cars worldwide. How can an international carmaker have terrible service and quality? Instead of discrediting Hyundai, better ask yourself how to improve Proton game over service and quality.
Hyundai and Kia are sister companies. Both share same engine and parts. So, quality is SAME
But this Mario guy only bash Hyundai. He never bash Kia. tak masuk akal
It can’t be… Proton is using Hyundai game changing 4AT gearbox for their Saga FL
Clearly he/she was talking about MRCC. I am sure you have no idea what is MRCC. Mazda Radar Cruise Control or generally Adaptive Cruise Control that can maintain our vehicle speed according to the vehicle at front. Subaru’s tech. does not use radar; only use camera.
Yes, typical Malaysian with their turbo vs non-turbo, who can smoke whom etc. We are talking about the tech. And Mazda has continously deny our right to get the MRCC. They think we cant afford it?
to be honest MRCC is useless on Malaysian roads…too many slowpokes like to cut out to fastlane for no reason
Ladies & gentlemen, this is the number 1 reason on why we cannot get adaptive cruise control (ACC) in MALAYSIA. Clearly, Proton (X70), Hyundai (Ioniq), Nissan (X-Trail), Honda (CR-V) are mistakes too for giving ACC to MALAYSIAN. We dont deserve the technology, even we can afford it. Well-done “Semi-Value”. We also dont deserve the autonomous driving IN THE FUTURE since this is our drivers attitude.
Do away with entitlement & deserve mindset. We can afford Turn signal, but nvr use
Wow! So many dislikes. So many Malaysian against MRCC. Keep sleeping, Malaysian. Sleeping under the coconut shells.
engine capacity much bigger than the CRV turbo but the horsepower is not very much more. a 1.5 turbo already can push out 190hp. the CX-5 2.5 turbo should push out at least 260hp to 280hp.
Still cx5 can smoked crv anytime anyday anywhere.
Do agree, Mazda still fanning old school NA engine. Even days of small turbo churning out high output is going off soon. Nowadays, small turbo engine works together with electric motor plus 8-12kWh battery is going to be the norm. Furthermore, if customers buying the 2.0L will be getting rear solid torsion beam. Had a 2.0L unit before, already sold it off. Slow pick up, never like overtaking in it. If you constantly hit the gas pedal hard, your fuel consumption will go up fast. In the old days why it sells, because there wasn’t much competition and it offers curtain airbags, 5 star EuroNcap score.
talk about Mazda is built quality and handling
talk about Honda is engine and spacious
#NO BIAS
its just about boost, remapped 2.5T CX-5 can easy reach 300hp.
Even the lower horsepower CX-5 2.2 diesel was able to beat CRV (173hp vs 190hp) in 0-100kmh dash contest. Please see the video made by Hafriz & gang. CRV whilst very practical and bigger inside is not that dynamic and will lose out during cornering or at certain highways like Karak.
Sell here below Rm130k ckd…
If with good price, this 2.5 turbo cx5 would be most people choice of suv.
the bestest is alwiz the x70 1.5 turbo…roadtax rm80 , most people choice of suv. jgn persoal…
No MRCC is a big no. Price heading to 190k mark and current 2.0 also price hike for durian Carplay..memo seats is over the hill. If CBU, still acceptable in some aspects. CKD is only reaping profits and giving consumers the worthless gadgets. Having own 3 Mazda’s. The CKD cx5 is not up to par. Seats not tighten .. gotta check upon 1k SVC due this month and brakes giving wonderful sound during braking downhill.. yea.. notice the battery , it’s a cheapo Charlie brand. Thanks for cutting cost n again.. give consumers poo!
for sure the price wouldn’t less than RM180k
i rather stick to CRV, 190hp + low roadtax + space
any news regarding C-8? R they going out together?
Should be close to rm200k for fully imported from Japan
sometimes u need to bring the whole family with luggage for the test drive to know how much power you need exactly
i read aussie review of the 2.5T , and it is thirsty if u r light footed , but the rush of AWD speed is addictive
Who else wishes to see this engine in the new Mazda 3? A man can dream right?
the headlight linked to grille? hmm….what happened to japanese creativity?
CX-8 announced for half a year already, no update on launch yet? And yet 3 & CX-5 2.5T can be launched so fast?
If u want driving experiance buy cx-5 2.5 turbo. If u want save fuel buy cx-5 2.2 turbo diesel. If u design nice buy 3008. If u got lot of money buy GLC250 or macan. If u dont have a lot of money buy axia. But whatever it is dont buy x70 made in china.
In Australia, the 2.5 turbo adds an extra aud2.5k over the 2.5NA models price. If they CKD it here, then it shouldn’t cost more than rm10-15k over the 2.5NA model.
Typical Malaysian nitwits, turbo this and turbo that, smokes this and smokes that then complain of high maintenance, pricey spare parts, high fuel consumption and the list goes on and on. Price estimated starts from nearly RM200K to RM200++K for the full spec. If you’re looking for power to weight ratios and bang for your buck. Why not look at the new XC60 or XC40 new, GLA or GLC recond, RX200 or RX350 recond or you could wait for the rumoured Mazda 4 with a 3.0litre inline 6 with up to 300hp. End of the day, park an old ML350 2013/14 besides them it still stand outs perfectly above the rest just like mine.
This class of car will be in the region of RM200k
