One con of the CX5 or rather mazda is the gear oil issue which Mazda claimed no need to change over life of the car and warranty can be voided if the owner try to change even in the official service center.

But in your pros of CRV you highlighted better acceleration. But if you compare against say the CX5 2.5, 2.5T or 2.2TD, believe that the crv will lose due to nature of the CVT gearbox

Also all things being equal, the CRV 1.5T will have better fuel economy compared to the CX5 2.0

of course, the boot size of the CRV is much bigger

It boil down to between buying a passenger oriented car which is the CRV or driver oriented car which is the CX5

Am in the same boat as you TS but can only afford 2nd hand cos only in lower range of M40

New CRV /CX5 is for T20

I see, gear oil no need to change over life, sounds good to me rclxms.gif
For the current version of CRV and CX5, for the interior feeling("Atasness"), chassis ,absorber and sound proof, definitely CX5.
I m not sure how's next gen gonna be.

Surprisingly for passenger POV, I did bring parents for the test drive(CX5 first then CRV after 30mins), they would prefer mazda because of reason below
-more leg support for the back seats
-more comfortable seats
-less body roll during corner.
-Feeling solid during go thru speed bump

The current CX5 and CRV are 2017 version. Almost 7yO design. I expect the price for new gen CRV = RM180k at least and CX5 = 170K.
I dont mind to top up another 10-15k(9Years instalment XD) janji the car is good.
Initially was planned for NEW CRV but after test drive CX5, my mind keep telling me  “CX5 真香” (so GOOD) rclxub.gif

I mentioned the engine oil of Mazda does not require changing as a Con and not pro cos there are mazda owners who complain that they experience problems with their gear box especially nearer to end of warranty or after warranty had ended.

You can check out the mazda section but am surprised that you say the cx5 was more comfortable than the crv for your family
