Hi all,
Took a Captiva 5 with the 2.2lt diesel for a
test and it surprised me, it bleep s over my hilux for power and torque. I know torque and power curves arent the be all and end all but it feels considerably more powerful.
Has anyone towed with the new motor. I'm planning to tow my 1.2t boat and would like some opinions.
Cheers Wilko

We have just taken delivery of a new Mazda CX5 with the 2.2lt diesel for the wife.
Test drove a few of these AWD diesel vehicles but ended up going the Mazda ,as it was newer ,but also having 2 other mazda's have always had a good reliability. The drive is great . The motor puts out 129kw and 420nm,similar to a D4D prado in power figures,so has got more than enough getup n go.
I have a diesel prado [1kze] which we use for the towing duties, i wish it had the go of the new Mazda.I will see how it goes with a smaller trailer when we can get a towbar for it,but for the bulkier jayco camper i will stick with the prado.
