    The Mazda CX-5 Thread

    Consumption is around 7.3l/100 combined but on long distance trips it hovers around 6.5l/100 - provided you don't need to overtake too often. The torque is addictive (as previously mentioned), I feel like the diesel engine is very underrated - probably would have sold more if its price was more...

    The Mazda CX-5 Thread

    For the record my 2019 CX-5 2.2d is currently on 95000km without any issues (not exactly high mileage). Lots of highway driving so probably helps prevent any DPF issues.

    The Mazda CX-5 Thread

    We have a 2019 Diesel Akera on 55 000km which hasn't put a foot wrong yet - very impressed with it. It does plenty of highway driving which may help avoid the oil dilution problem? Goodluck with the car hunting, hope you find a well loved example!
