IMHO Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Good news JoeW. Anything about pricing? Sent from my Windows 8 device using Board Express Pro No way would pricing info has leaked this far out from launch, but you can certainly expect it to align with CR-V and Captiva prices.

JoeW Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 We are not involved with the pricing of their vehicles so that's something I can't help you with. However, it's like IMHO says, probably in line with CRV and Captiva. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignis Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) Guess IMHO is right, there coming from Malaysia I think ? So price there http://www.livelifedrive.com/malaysia/new-cars/overview/756/2012-mazda-cx-5-suv Bad website shows what we do not have here, or if we can is far more expensive here..

JoeW Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Just take the Subaru XV as a sample. That one is also imported from Malaysia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jitar Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Couple of days ago Mazda dealer told me the following: 2.0L 154hp Petrol base spec ~1.2M baht 2.0L 154hp Petrol ~1.3M baht 2.5L 188hp Petrol ~1.45M baht 2.2L 173hp Diesel 4WD ~1.7M baht So the good news is the 2.5L petrol engine appears to be coming but the bad news is the diesel aint cheap. Apparently the higher spec versions get 19 inch wheels, side airbags, Xenon lights, rev camera etc. Probably some nicer trim as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeW Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I was just about the confirm that today they have issued the translation of 2.5 G Up until today it wasn't actually confirmed by HQ in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keemapoot Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 ok, got it. just afraid the diesel CX-5 will cost even more than the captiva diesel... Sent from my Windows 8 device using Board Express Pro Yeah, this CX-5 Thailand pricing is turning me off the Mazda pretty fast. The styling & interior isn't that great, and the efficiency of the petrol versions may be a turn-off. CRV competitor is right, but I don't find the CRV compelling either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistachios Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Wow, the diesel model will cost almost twice as much as the top spec 2.2 BT50 (is that the same engine?). That's a bit ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raffo77 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 not the same I think. BT50's is a standard VM unit while CX-5's will be a Skyactiv twin turbo Sent from my Windows 8 device using Board Express Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raffo77 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 sorry VM units are on the Chev... there should be a normal Ford common rail in the BT50 Sent from my Windows 8 device using Board Express Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jitar Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 The Petrol - diesel choice for the CX-5 is interesting. The diesel gets good reviews but appears to have oil dilution problems when used for low speed / stop start driving. There are lots of comments about the 2.0L petrol being gutless in Australia, probably similar to the 2.0L CR-V. The 2.5L petrol is new and may be a better choice for city or low km use. The Australian Standard combined cycle fuel consumption figures for the CX-5 are 17.5 km/L for the diesel, 13.5 km/L for the 2.5L petrol and 14.5 km/L for the 2.0L petrol. The Captiva and the CR-V are well below, Captiva 2.0L diesel 12.3km/L and Honda CR-V 2.4L petrol 11.5km/L. These are not real world figures but if the comparison is any indication, Mazda have done a pretty good job of controlling thirst. It will be interesting to see if there really is more to Skyactiv than marketing spin. Like the Captiva, if the better performance of the diesel does not justify the price increase, a diesel would need to do huge kms each year generate enough fuel cost saving to justify the higher purchase cost.

IMHO Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Let's see how the model grades align to prices on the CX-5 too... The diesel is the only model in Jitar's list with 4WD - but there could be other differences for the extra ~250K Baht too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignis Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Would have thought the range is to expensive......... Would a Thai change to a Mazda C5 from a Honda CRV ? the CRV is cheaper + it is a Honda.. As so many are now making a mid and small SUV based on the car model, why is the C5 so much more ? OK the new Mazda 3 is not here yet, but at 300,000 baht more ? Appear Ford may price the small SUV under 60,000 baht more then the Fiesta which it is based on....if the Mazda C3 comes will they try to charge 100's of thousands more ? OK the overall package may not be as good but it is the same price as the Subaru XV !!

raffo77 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 the difference is in the tech Mazda markets as Skyactiv. http://www.google.co.th/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=8&cad=rja&ved=0CGAQtwIwBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DE-EEbMxAho0&ei=UyuwUaDZLYizrgeb7IDwCg&usg=AFQjCNG629S-J5_U4kFrVSnFUpbFOv34wQ&sig2=qEZgtAVkiiBm95dZuSNm7g&bvm=bv.47534661,d.bmk http://www.google.co.th/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&frm=1&source=web&cd=7&cad=rja&ved=0CFkQtwIwBg&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D6h4GDaUP7gA&ei=UyuwUaDZLYizrgeb7IDwCg&usg=AFQjCNGKIONYWu0y5tK2t_M0jvcQhQ7LCQ&sig2=0fzrvTm6lS-7kdH1hDSP0w&bvm=bv.47534661,d.bmk Sent from my Windows 8 device using Board Express Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK the overall package may not be as good but it is the same price as the Subaru XV !! Subaru was one of the 1st to manufacture 4x4 with Automatic Well, it's not like Mazda are going to reach the lofty market shares that Honda and Toyota enjoy, but Thai's seem to embrace the Mazda2 well enough, even though it wasn't substantially cheaper nor better equipped than the City. For comparison: CR-V 2.0L S 5AT 155PS: 1.164M CR-V 2.0L E 5AT 155PS: 1.274M CR-V 2.4 EL 5AT 170PS: 1.444M CR-V 2.4 EL 5AT 4WD 170PS: 1.524M As noted, we have no idea of CX-5 model grades yet, but the approximate pricing provided by Jitar sounds about right to me?

Further to that, it would seem that the next generation of Mazda 2 would be built on the platform of the CX5... This will also be the case for the new Mazda 3. http://news.autojournal.fr/news/1471851/Mazda-CX-5-Plateforme-Mazda-6-Mazda-2 Replacement for current Mazda 2 would be 2014, and Mazda 6 in 2016. Finally, Mazda is changing its policy with regards to new models: a model would be available for 4 years, before being retired, with a facelift or minor change in the middle of the life cycle. http://news.autojournal.fr/news/1466013/Restylage-Citadine-Renault-Twingo-Mazda-2 Sorry, both are French sources...
