As usual, Bermaz way of cost cutting their CKD models

Your battery is about to die
How long have your used your CX-5 and what is the mileage?
Warranty for stock battery is 12 months or 20,000 km, whichever comes first

I've not yet test drive the new 2.5T, but bear in mind that the new model comes with windscreen HUD, 360 camera, memory seat, GVC plus, Apple CarPlay/AA, etc with less than 10k increase in price over the 2.2D model.
If it is my money and the reported heavy fuel consumption in Aussie reviews is least of my worry, I will go for 2.5T.
Go for the 2.2D if you clock high mileage, i.e. above the average of 20k km/year

Your engine is still new, not fully break-in yet.
If you have clocked more than 5k km and still getting the above result, then you should be worried

If you have no issue using Euro5 diesel, should also consider the 2.2D.
With 2.5T will be launching soon and price difference is about Rm10k above the NA 2.5, the 2.5 will be last in my list if I'm looking for a CX-5 now.
If you don't need the power of the 2.5T or 2.2D, just go for the 2.0


I saw some posts in CX-5 FB/whatsapp groups that Bermaz SCs offer 50% discount for replacement battery.
Can try your luck if indeed there is such an offer as your battery is already out of warranty

"If you have no issue using Euro5 diesel, should also consider the 2.2D."
i see, i should check euro5 diesel availability at my home and workplace then. 2.2d better than 2.5 na and 2.5t?
- I've not yet test drive the 2.5T, but the 2.2D is slightly better equipped and has more torque over the 2.5 na. FC wise, the 2.5 na is the least economical of the CX-5 (maybe the 2.5T will be worse?)

"2.5 will be last in my list if I'm looking for a CX-5 now."
so 2.5 na is bad choice compared to 2.0 or 2.5t? i read turbo wear down engine so i considered 2.5na or 2.0
- Not say a bad choice, just that the 2.0 GLS and 2.5 na has the same specs, just different engine. The 2.5T, being the new CX-5 top of the range model, will be better equipped

"If you don't need the power of the 2.5T or 2.2D, just go for the 2.0"
is 2.0 enough for slope? if 2.0 not underpower too much i think i just pick 2.0
- How steep is the slope? My suggestion is go for extended test drive or hire CX-5 from SoCar and only you can decide whether 2.0 power is enough.

Mazda specs stated that the 2.5 NA FC is 7.1L/100km while the 2.5T is 8.1L/100km.
So on paper, the 2.5T is the thirstiest of the CX-5 but real world FC wil still depend on your driving pattern.

Equipment-wise, the 2.5T is the top of the range model and the only one with windscreen HUD. The 2.2D comes second, without the HUD, the 2.5 and 2.0 GLS are third and the 2.0 GL is the least equipped.

If you frequent Genting, suggest go for the 2.2D due to the high torque.
I can easily overtake Civic 1.5T or similar saloon car on the way up, but going down is different story

Good price indeed as previously the Delkor battery was about RM4++ or so and only comes with 20k km / 1 year warranty only

Have to consider that the 2.5T is Awd while the 2.5 is Fwd only.
So another handicapped to 2.5T in terms of FC.

Mazda Setapak is a dealer and maybe they don't have test drive unit. The last time I went there in late 2017, they only have display units
Mazda Glenmarie is the HQ and they always have test drive units.
But best to call for appointment if you have particular model to test drive as sometimes Glenmarie loan their test drive units to other branches

Better check and confirm with SC.
Bermaz are not very lenient as they may void your free 20k service as you already exceed the period by more than a month even though you mileage only 12k
Some car makers only give a leeway of 2 weeks from the next service due date.

Saw his post in FB group
His mileage only 9k km and only about year old.
Very worrying indeed
But he did mention that drive to Genting everyday

Could be the price of the lousy Minolta-Skytint

If you take out the key fob while the engine is running, there will be beeping sound at the beginning, maybe about 5-10 seconds or so before it stops.
Yes, your wife can still drive the car provided the engine is still running when you walk away with the key.
But once she switch off the engine without the key, she can't start the car

That's a total opposite of my SA.
My SA drove the test-drive unit to my office when I confirmed with him I want to test drive the 2.2D, without any obligation to place a booking.
That was back back in Sept/Oct 2017 when the 2nd gen was just launched.
He kept answering my calls/whatsapp when I had queried on the car before I finally place my booking in Christmas 2017.
Although he admitted that Bermaz don't give much discount/freebies compared to dealers, he compensated it by providing top notch after sales service too

I believed not all 2.2D units are affected by the recall.
Mine is Feb 2018 unit and I've checked on Mazda Sentinel website that mine is not affected (as of now)

As far as I know, about 1000+ units of CX-5 and Mazda6 2.2D variant only

The website link is normally send via SMS when you booked your car for servicing at Bermaz SC.

I changed mine for this price at Bermaz Glenmarie back in April/May this year.
The T110 battery is Delkor

Pls share the 'lobang' here too if you manage to get them cheaper.
The 'kicap' shop is selling Rm450 incl. installation for the front & rear bumper guards

Jack Lieu's shop maa! i.e. Avenue Car Audio

All CX-5 (KF model) from 2.0 GL to 2.5T come with 7” LCD screen in the middle
