    Leaked Documents Reveal 2019 Mazda CX-5 For U.S. To Add Turbo

      But it will cost you 

    It is no secret that Mazda is planning to bring over the turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder from the CX-9 and Mazda6, considering the various leaked documents that have come out in the past few months and the announcement of the Japanese market version. Now, new documents have come to light revealing that the U.S. variant will get the turbo engine, along with some other key changes.

    The leaked "Product Information Bulletin" reveals the turbo engine (227 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque) will be available on two new trims - Grand Touring Reserve and Signature. Somewhat surprising, the engine will not be available on the Grand Touring like on the 6. All-wheel drive will be standard for the turbo engine.

    Mazda will also be adding an updated G-Vectoring Control Plus system (uses the braking system to keep the car stable when exiting a corner), and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for Touring and models above.

    What is somewhat surprising is no mention of the 2.2L turbodiesel in the document, despite the EPA fuel economy figures coming out. Maybe Mazda got cold feet and has decided to pull the plug or that the 2.5T threatens the diesel as it produces the same amount of torque. This is just speculation on our part and maybe the diesel will come.

    As for pricing, the 2019 Mazda CX-5 begins at $25,345 after the $995 destination charge. Adding the turbo engine adds a significant cost - $35,865 for the Grand Touring Reserve and $37,885 for the Signature.

    • Windows 11 ... Ok, the laptop was upgraded from Windows 10.   There were a couple of power offs and restarts.  Once I got onto the Microsoft Installation Assistant, it went smoothly. Interfaces and dialogue boxes are a little more user friendly. Here's the deal.  I had about 45 GB free before I started the upgrade.  I understand that Windows 11 takes up about the same amount of space as 10.  I've seen posts where people complain that it has taken up a larger amount of disk space than they had before.  The answer comes back that the system drive is temporarily "borrowing" this surplus of space and we'll be giving it back over time.  Is this plausible?  Duplicate files?  How long to get the extra GBs freed up? Thanks.
    • https://insideevs.com/news/784657/china-ev-tariff-canada/   https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/what-is-in-canada-s-trade-agreement-with-china-9.7049082   “We’re building a new part of our car industry, building cars of the future in partnership, bringing affordable autos for Canadians at a time when affordability is top of mind, and doing it at a scale that allows for a smooth transition in the sector”       Details: Canada will tariff Chinese EVs at 6.1% instead of what it was which was 100% The first year, there is a limit of 49 000 cars to enter Canada but each year the limit will increase to 70 000 cars by the 5th year.  Prime Minister Carney said this is a deal that: "we're building a NEW part of our car industry building cars of the future in PARTNERSHIP, bringing affordable autos for Canadians at a time when affordability is top of mind, and doing at a scale that allows for a smooth transition in the sector"    Ontario leader Dougie Ford has negatives to say about it...forgetting though that GM usa, FoMoCo usa and Chryco usa voted for tariffs and Canadian built cars. trump also said that he does nor want, americans do not need Canadian cars...   So he is kvetching for nothin' about on Carney's side and bitchin' at the wrong tree... He should realize that certain shytty americans do not want Canadian anything, let alone automobiles.   PHOQUE the usa!!! PHOQUE americans!!!  The bolded CAPITILIZED words "NEW" and "PARTNERSHIP" quoted by Carney but  assumed by me may mean that and Im speculating here, reading into something that may NOT exist, that if and when Chinese EVs are a success sales wise in Canada and the plants that produce GM, Ford and Chrysler cars in Ontario do close down for a myriad of reasons, MAYBE Chinese factories manufacturing these EV will be on Canadian soil... "we're building a NEW part of our car industry building cars of the future in PARTNERSHIP...doing it at a scale that allows for a smooth transition" Takes a lot of reading between the lines...     But maybe there is nothing there also...    Anyway you slice it though, not good for the us auto industry in the long term. Especially when GM and Ford have no choice but to putz around in the us/Canada market. And since neither of them have any sort of global presence of any significance...   Well...PHOQUE THEM!!!
