Mazda CX-5

Mazda CX 5 appeared on the market in 2012. At the end of 2014, the model was slightly updated. The Japanese crossover looks harmonious and attractive. The interior is pleasant and concise. In front of the seat in abundance, but on the second row is closer. In the list of basic equipment there was a place for air conditioning, a full set of airbags, ABS and ESP, tire pressure sensors and even the engine start button. However, the initial configuration is distinguished by a simpler instrument panel and steering wheel, a primitive air conditioning control unit and an unpretentious audio system. In crash tests according to EuroNCAP, the Japanese crossover earned five stars. The excellent protection of the CX-5 was demonstrated in the crash tests of the American IIHS (insurance Institute for Road Safety). In the future, the Americans suspected some manufacturers of trickery - strengthening the body only on the part of the driver, for the sake of high scores in tests. Experts decided to recheck a number of cars, but with a frontal impact in the passenger side. The result was expected to be more deformed on the passenger side, although not fatal. However, it was necessary to reduce the ratings of Mazda and her classmate - Honda CR-V 2015 model year. For information, with even more depressing consequences, the list of “illusionists” were Subaru Forester 2014 model year and Toyota RAV-4 2015 model year.

Engines

Two petrol and one diesel engine were offered. The power of the 2-liter gasoline unit is 150 hp, and the 2.5-liter one is 192 hp (became available since 2013). Turbodiesel with a two-stage supercharged volume of 2. 2 liters develops 175 liters. with. The gas distribution mechanism of all motors is driven by a reliable chain. The mechanical part of gasoline engines does not cause complaints. The equipment is failing from time to time. For example, the ignition coils (3-16 thousand rubles) have to be changed after 100-150 thousand km of run. In gasoline engines, an oil pressure sensor often leaked. As a result, during the service run in careless owners, the oil level could fall to critically low values. And since there is no level sensor, the oil flares up when the amount of oil is not enough to create working pressure. Surprisingly, after replacing the sensor and replenishing the oil supply, no engine went into major repairs. It is worth noting that leaks of motor oil were also observed from under the valve cover (1-2 tons per gasket), from under the hood of the valve timing and through the upper sensor in the valve cover. Diesel engines assembled until 2015 inclusive, were with a serious flaw. After 50-100 thousand km, premature wear of the exhaust camshaft was sometimes detected. In the running case, the engine was dead, and thrust periodically disappeared. The defect can be determined only after opening the valve cover. Moreover, the service could sentence a turbocharger and a vacuum brake amplifier.

Transmission

Only the Mazda CX5 with a 2-liter gasoline unit could be both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. In the latter case, the rear wheels are connected when the front wheels are slipped using an electronically controlled multi-plate hydraulic coupling. Forced blocking is not provided, and on the road the clutch quickly overheats.

Overall, the transmission is quite reliable. Only some owners faced leakage of the glands drives (300-1000 rubles) and repair of the clutch (8-10 thousand rubles).

The 6-speed manual transmission was relied exclusively on front-wheel drive versions. the 6-speed automatic was available in any modification.

ICSW

Mechanics have not been widely used. There were no systematic problems with it, but there were episodes with knocking out gears. The reason is premature wear of the gear and the timing coupling.

The factory clutch of the manual transmission serves more than 200,000 km.

DISTRIBUTION

The Aisin FW6A-EL is considered unkillable. Nevertheless, a number of boxes after 150-200 thousand km overtook the malfunction of the bearing pressed into the body. There was a hum. The bearing changes with the automatic transmission body (50 000 rubles). The cost of repairs is about 45 000 rubles, and the contract box is about 60 000 rubles.

Closer to 100,000 km wears the tip of the selector of the machine (3-5 thousand rubles). The disease leads to problems with starting the engine, or the tape recorder does not turn off when the ignition is turned off.

Walking

On the move, Mazda CX5 will please handling, stability in corners and sharp steering wheel. But the smoothness of the ride is unlikely to please passengers. On uneven surface, the crossover shakes noticeably.

The suspension is represented by Macpherson struts in the front and multi-link rear.

The rear silent blocks of the front levers wear out after 100-150 thousand km. The cost of one Silentblock is from 400 rubles, and replacement works are in the region of 1,500 rubles. The same pass and ball supports (from 1000 rubles for an analog). New levers (5-25 thousand rubles per piece) will last longer.

Silent blocks of rear levers (600-1400 rubles) care for more than 150-200 thousand km.

Front landing bearings are delivered after 150,000 km (4-20 thousand rubles plus 2000 rubles for work). The rear hubs go more than 150,000 km (from 9000 rubles for an analog).

Replacement of shock absorbers (front or rear) may be necessary after 100-150 thousand km. For the new front depreciation rack will have to pay 4-14 thousand rubles, for the rear - 3-12 thousand rubles.

After 150 000 km, sometimes the support of the rear shock absorber (2-6 thousand rubles) is destroyed. The front supports are more durable (1-3 thousand rubles).

After 100-150 thousand km could break and the Silentblock rear gearbox, pressed into the subframe of the rear axle. In the official service, the Silentblock was changed along with the subframe (60 000 rubles). Third-party services are ready to overpress Silentblock. Only 3 Silentblock 1-3 thousand rubles plus 5 000 rubles for work.

Other problems and malfunctions

No traces of corrosion on the CX-5 body iron have been seen. It does not cause serious complaints and the quality of paintwork.

A number of owners faced the appearance of whitish plaque on the inner surface of headlights with LED lights. Attempts to clean the glazing with a special set on magnets led to scratches. In the end, under the guarantee, an upgraded headlight was installed with a new seal. It was he who had previously contributed to the contamination of glass.

Often requires attention to the electric drive of mirrors. He's failing because of the wear of the plastic gear. The cost of the new drive is from 2000 to 4000 rubles.

Among the claims and the driver's seat, which eventually begins to luft. It's all about a frame, fastened by rivets that loosen.

Often fails to heat the seat - burns the heater.

Not characterized by longevity of the skin on the chairs and steering wheel.

Owners had to address complaints about failures in the head device of the audio system and the boot opening button, the noise of the fan of the heater (9-14 thousand rubles) and the failure of the rear-view camera.

After 150-200 thousand km, it is possible to change the sensors of parktronics (1-5 thousand rubles).
