Test Drive Mazda CX-5 since 2012 Crossover

Durable Test Mazda CX-5. First impressions

Mazda CX-5 2.0 SkyActiv-G (150 hp) 6AT / 4WD, Execution Supreme Common Mileage 14,000 km Mileage since the start of the test is 3,000 km The cost of Mazda CX-5 starts from 949,000 rubles (for the front-wheel drive performance of Drive with a mechanical six-speed gearbox). But our all-wheel drive car in the top-optation of the Supreme, which includes package 6, is already 1,429,000 rubles. It has everything that the soul is: six airbags, a dynamic stabilization system that look into the turn of bixenon headlights with automatic switching between the near and distant light, the output warning system beyond the limits of the traffic strip, the monitoring system of the dead zones. There are multimedia with 9-speakers Bose, having a touch monitor, Bluetooth, AUX and USB, rearview camera, parking sensors, two-zone climate, invisible access, electric and heated mirrors She is beautiful, she is graceful, it is charismatic, it is perfect and proportional, Daughter. And thanks to the deep bright blue pearl, it does not even tear an eye from it. When CX-5 is only from the bath, looks to her literally sticking out! I remember, the last time in my direction was so watched when I was driving the Audi R8 ... to such a level, the concentration of attention was possible to raise not every car, and it flatters. I drowned, I disappeared. I want CX-5. Do I really think so? For those and a half that the fide is on our test, we managed to drive 3,000 kilometers on it. And what? 150-Strong gasoline atmospheric SkyActiv-G works without downtrend, thrust depending on the speed of rotation is smooth, and the linear reaction to the gas cannot please. By the way, for the Russian market, the engine capacity is reduced for the sake of reducing the tax rate in Europe, the power unit issues at 15 hp. Many more (we are among them) to the new Mazdov engine are very wary. And this is a reasonably immediate injection, the high 14 units of compression degree for a high-tech gasoline atmospheric engine, which is prescribed exclusively 95th octane, with our tolerances on the quality of fuel at least fastened. Front panel and upper front door inserts are soft to the touch. The dashboard is concise and informative. Nor give nor take. True, the watch display located on the central console has to constantly mow the look is unsafe. Ergonomics are good. The ranges of the steering column adjustments (on flights and the slope) is enough with a margin for the sedams of any complexion and growth. Despite the relatively vertical landing, the back on long-distance trips is not tired at all For the transmission selector, the joystick of the Multimedia management, for all a month and a half they took advantage of them once, when it was necessary to know that he represents himself and is convenient to wheys. I tried conveniently, but it is useless, in principle, the touch screen is enough. The glove box without heating / cooling, and the central armrest that performs part-time function of the box cover is unregulated. By the way, the central boxing is very spacious, the mirror chamber or one and a half dozen CDs in the boxes are easily easily. In the box, the air duct that allows you to heat or cool the contents, also there are 12-volt sockets, USB-port and AUX-input, however, while the electronics is not swearing in the outback by acute need for sharp need. One-minded SkyActiv-G stressed and digested for the cute soul as much as a few tanks. And that's what is interesting, neither the stiffness of the engine, nor the sound of the exhaust, nor the intensity of the overclocking has not changed, and remember, earlier Mazdovsky, especially the turbocharged motors, were very critical to the quality of fuel. A little bit and immediately Check Endjain. Sick the service with the diagnostics of quenching the indicator. Fuel consumption in urban mode (not too active moving, but with systematic strips in a gas stream in the floor) while 12.3 liters are held. Over the city with cruising 90-110 km / h CX-5 eats 7.6-7.8 liters per hundred kilometers of the road. Winter consumption taking into account almost constant slip and low temperatures for a large 150-strong crossover weighing 1380 kg with automatic all-wheel drive transmission is very worthy. With that overclocking up to 100 km / h occupies only 9.8 seconds. The driver's seat is very convenient and well holds in turns, it is electrified and has an adjustment of the lumbar backpage. Adjusting the heating of seats three-stage and easy to find the desired intensity. At -20 ° C, despite the fact that the decoration of the seats from the skin, after the heating on the heating at full power, the fifth point has been feeling warm after three minutes. The cabin is spacious, the spaces of the rear row, and for knees, and for the shoulders, and above the head of space, are particularly affected. Rear No central ducts are a strange thing. The backs of the rear sofa are divided into three segments, but adjust the tilt and move, such as, for example, on Volkswagen Tiguan, the seats cannot have a six-speed hydrotransformer automatic machine is good with its distillation with kick-down and smooth switching up. But manually, the transfer of the transmissions is allowed only with the help of a selector, as before the overtakers, I miss the stealing petals! The harsh suspension is good on the asphalt, the rolls are minimal, and the reactions to the rotation of the steering wheel are almost instant! Although the tactile feelings of the road are dulled by the winter (the best, in my opinion, from the awesome) Tires of Nokian Hakkapeliitta R. I remember, with summer rubber reactions, almost razored, and the feedback is much better ... On the parcel of the fifth, if it does not strive to cut out of the sedes Souls, then very close to it. And what in extreme modes? Alas and ah. All power windows have motor-powered, in all four doors of pockets with molds under one and a half-liter bottles. The central lock is controlled by the tongue of the driver's door. The controversial solution: In order to unlock all the doors from the right or rear seat, you will have to reach through the entire salon. Unlock the door by pulling the opening handle, it will not be possible to make a tongue and the handle live in separate lives. In everyday use, it is inconvenient. By the way, when the velocity set, the doors are not automatically blocked! And this is in the car for 1,429,000 rubles! It is moderately a strict system of dynamic stabilization that also works on driving, and to demolish, here is an unconnected. On the one hand, this is a good inexperienced driver of firewood. But with other advanced drivers that have passed courses of contraavary training are deprived of the possibilities of active intervention in the management of the car in an extreme situation. Widely used by the rally in the posterior and all-wheel drive vehicles, the relevant gas is impossible here in principle. But often thanks to only it is possible to return controlability slipped slipper, orient it in the right direction and stuff on the desired trajectory. The volume of the trunk under the curtain of 515 liters, more Tiguanovsky per 45 liters. In the underground, a full-size spare wheel on a steel disk and a foam organizer with a saving instrument. The backs of the rear sofa are divided into three segments, there are convenient handles on the trunk side, pulling the side seats remotely remotely. To close the door to grip, a single recess is provided to the right, left-handers will be unorded Yes, you can turn off the anti-sovietary system, and you can dig a CX with neat steering and gas actions and make it sideways, but you have to wait for these slides. The main thing later not to reject the steering wheel from the zero situation, otherwise the system of dynamic stabilization immediately accepted these slides to extinguish. So, to fool out somewhere on a car where there is a place to turn around, this is please, but in practice it is unrealistic to use slip yourself. And this is not least promoted by the non-retorop plugging the rear axle of the coupling with sharp maneuvers under the gas CX-5, where you willingly come out with the sink of the front wheels, it will be puzzled out and straighten the trajectory, rather than a break in a skid and trust gas Clearance of 210 mm allows you to force quite deep drifts when the critical rate of entry in the rotation is exceeded, or with a loss of steadfect, the fideline will be guaranteed and safely put on an obstacle to the front part in general, the settings are purely civil, purely for drivers that do not have the skills of contralauing control. A coupling rear axle Here wears the auxiliary function between the case actively accelerates on the icy or snow-covered site or climb a snowdrift in the courtyard, of course, but no more. In general, the interesting feature of ABS was found out, in the peak of a dynamic stabilization system, has the settings rather sports, rather than civilians. With emergency braking on heterogeneous coatings (for example, on the left of the wet asphalt, to the right) CX-5 under the striking of the anti-lock system strongly goes away with the best clutch coefficient. It is clear, thus significantly reduces the braking path, but just inexperienced drivers can get caught on it and not respond to a change in the trajectory by a compensatory rotation of the steering wheel. So be careful. Forewarned is forearmed. Continued ... Vitaly Kabyshev Photo by
