Is the failure rate of Mazda CX-5 high?
1 Answers
Mazda CX-5 has a very low failure rate, with generally positive after-sales reviews, making it a compact SUV. The dimensions of Mazda CX-5 are 4555×1840×1710mm, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. Disadvantages of Mazda CX-5: 1. Noise: The engine noise is mainly noticeable during cold starts and at high RPMs. Due to Mazda CX-5's adoption of the Skyactiv technology, including direct fuel injection, ultra-high compression ratio, and dual variable valve timing, the engine tends to be 'aggressive' and prone to knocking. To address this, engineers incorporated a '4-2-1' exhaust manifold structure, but this resulted in the catalytic converter being positioned far from the exhaust ports, requiring a long time to reach operating temperature. Consequently, engineers delayed the ignition timing during cold starts, allowing some unburned fuel to combust in the exhaust pipe, leading to loud engine noise. 2. Space: Space has never been Mazda's strong suit. Even with a 178cm tester sitting in the rear, the headroom is only about four fingers, legroom is just over a fist, and the floor hump is high. Additionally, the rear air vents protrude significantly, making the middle seat unsuitable for long-term occupancy.
