If you go to the CX-5 thread in car clubs you'll see some people complained about 2.2D reliability. I thought diesel should be more reliable like BMW F30 320d so famous cannot die

Why upgrade to cx-5? Cr-v and cx-5 is on same segment. Why not just upgrade to cx-8 or 9?

Newer diesels aren't anymore. Got DPF, some need urea etc etc

High chance wife will pump ron95 ….

Oof what a regression

2.5T, price this year up RM1k.

Not all diesel are reliable, the Subaru boxer diesel is one example. In fact some of the most reliable diesel engine are those the ones which are slightly older without too much anti pollution device. For example PSA DW10/12 (this is the engine that use to power most of the UK's taxi, use in Focus/Mondeo/Peugeot 508), FIAT 2.4 JTDM and VW 1.9 TDI.

That is what makes modern diesel less reliable. Compare like back in those days, OM606 or Cummins 6BT, let the coal roll... 1 million miles? The life of the engine had just begun.

Do avoid 2.2D since everytime i go to SC for servicing my 2.0gls there will be 2.2D with major engine problem,
i ask the owner of SC he said it normal for that model get major engine failure even with low millage.

I have my second gen CX-5 2.0gls since it first launch on 2017 and it a very nice and comfortable ride for long travel although the power may not as good as 2.5 but for Malaysian road i can say it more than enough.

my sister used cx5 2.2D ..i think 3 years+ kot


so far didnt heard they have any engine issue that need to tow back

Why not CX-30, looks more sleek...

Topup sikit get lexus rx

Volvo xc40

I like diesels but the one diesel I won’t buy is a Mazda 2.2d, cylinder head prone to warping, the intercooler prone to failure as well if you have a heavy right foot.

Finally one thing to take into account is this one requires B7 E5 diesel else it becomes prone to soot buildup and unlike most diesels Mazda diesels sold here has a DPF and when you have a DPF you must operate and drive it at least 1-2 hours at peak torque output so it can heat up enough to burn away the soot else hello clogged dpf.

Currently the best sub rm250k SUV that you can have with a diesel engine is a Hyundai Santa Fe.

Tunggu cx50 2.5 turbo

Might as well get the 2.5 turbo

How about Santa Fe 2.2 diesel. Is it reliable?

Hyundai-KiA 2.2d and 2.0d engines are very reliable diese1 engines, easily will cover 300k miles problem free.

Maybe this model more suits for lady driver with light foot, and not for a man with who tent to squeeze every torques available in that engine

Yes I believe so, since i used to rent a Starex royale few times years ago, it is a very responsive engine though..
the issue with KIA/Hyundai for me is more on the finishing Quality,.. i have surveying tengok-tengok on New model Kia Carnival
last few month at their Sales Gallery.. what can i say despite a nice design and hi tech engine, the finishing of the
interior, the artificial leather seats, a hard plastic panel everywhere for me is just.. LAME

maybe ..and got kiddo ..hard to do rapid acceleration

Mazda diesels must be driven like a diesel and as if fuel is very expensive. Gentle peddle operations and if it’s a manual very quick upshift. Else it puts stress on the engine.

That’s what a Mazda2 driver in Thailand told me, said it’s not the same as other diesels.

I own 2 KA4 Carnivals and 2 YP Carnivals both 11 seater versions. Using for commercial purposes.

Mechanically a great MPV but yes the interior isn’t the nicest, fit and finish can’t compare against the 2 VW Sharans that are now 9 years old. However it isn’t to the point where it’s bad to the point it affects it’s usability.

KA4 is a fantastic vehicle for the family but I probably wouldn’t want one as a daily driver, just too big and bulky a vehicle and just not feasible to be used in some urban setting.

Your kiddo never tell you while in the car “Daddy faster faster that uncle in Alphard trying to overtake.” ?
