Thanks for the reminder guys. My silly mistake.
Anyway will consider further on the warranty.
*
Just to share that the package is only for the next 4 services, i.e. from 70k to 100k, but your warranty period remains the same, i.e. 5 years or 100k km, whichever comes first.
It does not increase the warranty coverage from 5yrs/100k to 6yrs/120k

Hi guys,

Can any CX 2.5T owner share their fuel consumption?  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif

Thanks in advance!
*
From posts in CX-5 Malaysian FB group, owners responded with averaging of 320-400 km/tank for city drive
It's an AWD and turbo petrol, so if you're interested in owning the 2.5T, you have to accept the high fuel consumption tongue.gif

Diesel have no revving. Only torque. Only pick up and will left out after 3 gear. 5000rpm is finish top gear. Believe people pick diesel major point is FC. For speed in highway even 2.0 faster. It has less HP.
*
The reasons I went for 2.2D are FC and low-rev torque.
But 2.2D good FC is only achieved if we stick to the speed limit.
With speed maintain at 80-90 km/h and RPM below 1750k, can get 20km/L but it is a boring drive tongue.gif
Press the pedal pass 130 km/h, bye bye FC biggrin.gif

For speed demon, better get the 2.5T

Same here. I'll be changing my windscreen next April or May, 1-2 months before my insurance expiring. Haha glad to know someone does the same thing as me  thumbup.gif

Btw, how much do you insure your windscreen?
*
I insured mine for RM 3k
Late last year Glenmarie Paint & Body Shop quoted me RM 2.2k (incl. labour) for KF windscreen, so I reckon the balance RM 800 should be sufficient for high quality tint from 3M, Llumar, etc,
Vkool quoted me RM 1k to tint the winsdcreen, so have to top-up RM 200 if wanna go Vkool

Didnt say only petrol or diesel only. Better check at the website as well.

Pauline website never mentioned for which variants, but when I keyed-in my 2.2D VIN at Bermaz website, mine is not affected.
So I presumed for petrol variants only

Would like to know any diesel owner change their car battery from SC? what is the price & warranty year, possibly the Brand also?
Checked outside shop found apparently diesel battery warranty only give 6 months period with the reason the battery will draw more power comparing petrol.
*
Diesel battery from SC is Delkor T110 maintenance-free.
Price is RM8xx (closed to RM900) including installation.
Warranty is 24 months/40k km, whichever comes first

Outside mostly selling Varta T110, which has the same specs as the Delkor
Price outside are normally RM600-650, but only 6-mths warranty

I just bring my cx5 to bintulu. Apparently no service center in bintulu. Nearest one is in miri. But now cannot travel inter district. For sure I'll miss the date. So, my warranty will just void like that? 😭
*
Can call the SC in Miri for confirmation that you can’t travel cross-district during MCO and ask them that they won’t void the free service voucher.
Worse comes to worst, as them to email you letter stating that you need to cross district for car servicing.

Collected my car and looking to tint and ppf. Doing some survey over the price. For tint is it okey to go with 3M Crystaline for the windscreen(to remove existing one) and rest of the windows to add one more layer of 3M ebony? thickness would be 2mil  icon_question.gif  hmm.gif

ppf any suggestion on the brand? so far surveyed around for the front part received quotation 2.5 k
*
Just be aware that 3M is not smart-tag friendly, so the installer will normally recommend to cut a small corner to place the smart-tag and cover it up with almost similar colour of tint.
If you are Ok with that, 3M is a good tint or you might want to check V-Kool as it has no problem with smart-tag.

oh I see didnt know about this.. will take note. im not a fan of smartag, prefer rfid or touchngo. Do you have any vendor contact for V-kool?
*
If you're in KL, can try sending a PM to user @I'm A V-Kool.
I did V-Kool 40 when I replaced my windscreen and I'm very pleased with their workmanship.

RFID is a PITA on my CX-5.
I installed RFID since Oct 2018 on the headlamp and my success rate is slightly above 50%.

I have installed RFID no less than 5 times on a few cars. Best reception is on the top of windscreen. They are 100%.

When installer test your windscreen with their scanner, they can tell if the tint is reflective type like vkool and 3M, then there's no choice but to fix the RFID on headlamp which is a compromised location due to the more upright angle and lower position on the car.

On my car with vkool, RFID is fixed on headlamp, success rate is low if you drive in too fast. The trick is to go slow at the beginning of the toll lane as rfid receiver is at the front of the lane, not at the back like Smartag.

The car that has Raytech tint and RFID on top of windscreen never had any problems with RFID and Smartag. Raytech tint is way cooler than any VKool or 3M tinted cars I sat in. Their specs exceeds the best of 3M or VKool specs iirc.

Another car has Hyper Optik, tint performance is just so so. No issue with RFID or Smartag either.

Due to Smartag and RFID issues, I avoid 3M and VKool on all my new cars.
*
I was using Hamel Royale before I replaced my windscreen and when the RFID installer tried placing the RFID on my windscreen, they couldn't get any reading, maybe due to the material used for Hamel.

Mind you, this was during the early adopter/guinea pig of RFID, so maybe the RFID they used back then was not as efficient as the current generation, hence the reason they could only stick on the headlamp.
When passing through those dedicated RFID lane, I had to drive below 15 km/h, and in some cases, like the RFID lane at toll Gombak, I had to stop very close to the boom gate before it can detect the RFID.
Like what you said, the design of CX-5 headlamp, with it very upright angle is not the best place for RFID placement.

On SmartTag, using Hamel Royale or V-Kool 40, I do have to slow down as well, maybe between 20-30 km/h, but not as slow as the RFID

The reason it struggle to use smart tag with V-Kool, Hamel is due to the Infrared rejection value of 97% above. As smart tag signal purely using infrared.

Based on my experience, the 95% irr is the maximum it can use for smart tag, albeit still need to slow down but not until almost stop.
*
Good to know that.
I have to touch the SmartTag on the windscreen and really slow down before it can be detected.
So far don't have to lower down the window and wave the SmartTag yet

Can afford the car but is it worth it?

Test drove the 2.0 High, 2.5 High, and CX30 yesterday. Felt like the CX30's refinement is on a class above the CX5 but CX5 wins in terms of practicality.

The CX5 2.5 has a bit more power but can't really say when compared to the CX30. Probably because the CX30 is a lighter car.

Now can't decide between CX5 and CX30  rclxub.gif
*
As what others have suggested above, buy according to your requirements.
If you are single/couple and not planning to have kids for the next few years, the CX30 might suit you better.
But, if you have family or planning to start a family really soon, your need will outgrow CX30, and you'll be better off with larger car like CX-5.
