Welcome to the 3rd generation of Mazda’s global bestseller! 🇯🇵🚙
Today we are testing the all-new **2026 Mazda CX-5 III**, built in **Hiroshima, Japan**. This specific car is the stunning **Homura** trim, painted in deep **Jet Black**.
In an era of tiny turbocharged engines, Mazda is sticking to its philosophy: under the hood is a naturally aspirated **2.5-liter 4-cylinder** engine. In this version, it produces a modest **141 HP** but is paired with Mazda’s legendary **6-speed automatic (6AT)** and an **AWD** system.
It’s not built for street racing, but rather for ultimate reliability and smooth driving. How does this setup handle everyday traffic?
🔥 JOE’S TEST REALITY CHECK:
Factory claims 0-100 km/h in 10.9 seconds.
**My Dragy measurement (0-100 km/h): 8.9 seconds!** ⏱️
(With a 2.5L engine tuned for longevity rather than peak power, a classic 6-speed auto, and AWD, the car is quite heavy. It’s definitely built for comfortable cruising rather than dynamic sprinting).
⛽ **CONSUMPTION & COSTS:**
Factory (Combined): **7.4 l/100 km**.
**Joe Black Test: 9.6 l/100 km.** ⛽
(Pushing a large AWD SUV with a naturally aspirated engine means you have to use higher revs to gain speed. In real-world driving, especially in the city, the consumption naturally rises to nearly 10 liters).
