    Rumorpile: Turbo Power for the CX-5?

      And we're not talking turbodiesel

    When we drove the Mazda CX-5 towards the end of last year, we found ourselves wishing that either the long-delayed turbodiesel or possibly the 2.5: turbo-four from the CX-9 would grace the engine. The 2.5L four-cylinder does ok around town, but really struggles when more speed is needed. It seems our wish could be coming true.

    The Truth About Cars obtained a certification document from the California Air Resources Board for the turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder. In the document, it lists the 2019 CX-9 and CX-5 offering this engine. It would give the CX-5 a nice power boost as the turbo-four produces 227 horsepower (250 horsepower on premium fuel) and 310 pound-feet of torque.

    Mazda declined to comment when asked about the document.

    We're guessing that Mazda could debut the turbo engine in the CX-5 at the LA Auto Show in November.

    • I dont know why but I get muscle car vibes with it.  With a sprinkle of Road Warrior apocalypse presence.  Id tone down the grill opening thingy just a tad. Or maybe keep it just as big but rearrange the oval-ness to it.   The charging on this is wild. If true. I know a couple of years ago, Mercedes said that had a breakthrough with charging times. I guess this is the show car to actually show case it before the tech becomes mainstream. 
    • Pretty much. I saw a homepage blip about him years ago, read up on his background, and decided I didn't like him. Then I heard this happened from across the pond. I was looking at some videos with reporters and such to obtain information and the status of the situation.  I thought I wouldn't have to see the actual event.  One news video flipped over to it quickly and it was more powerful and more disturbing than I would have imagined.   I backed up to see some past videos where he is on.  Yeah, I've tossed out a fair bit of stereotyping in my life, but he tossed out so much racism and dislike toward anyone who is not white, religious, conservative, and has a picket fence existence.  And its delivery was consistently vile and condescending. He was yet another podcaster who made his living this way.  He had quite the motor mouth, so he could have gone to law school, taken the bar, and gone to work.  That would have been too much work, given that he only did a year of college and dropped out.  This new way people are making a living doesn't make for much value-added.
    • When I saw this, I thought of you guys and how much most of you love Tesla.  This is obviously where they unload these nasty cars. This is what I saw walking from the marine terminal in Southampton to the train station to fly out to warm weather that same afternoon. I was following some Europeans with luggage across the street and a green turning lane was still in effect.  A local started yelling at us from his car in that working class brand of UK talk, including all "you 'effin' idiots."  At least I could understand it.  I need a translator for heavy-duty Scottish talk. The crossing was good.  The ship stayed close to Canada all the way up to Newfoundland and then crossed.  There was only one day of light chop.  There were 2 poolside days in the beginning.  That meant indoor jacuzzis under the glass roof for the rest of the crossing. Of four trips, the cabin was the best I've had.  The composition of the table was marginal compared to previous trips.  I won't go into it or I wouldn't be P.C.  I reverted to the open seating option on a few nights. With all that, I didn't want to get off.  A few others said the same thing.  If the seas are good, it's incredibly relaxing.  You're just lulled into another state and it's mostly a good one.
