上一代CX-5被消费者批评隔音不好，Mazda原厂有听到了。
新CX-5隔音宁静度大进步，已经不输其他同级休旅车了。
Autoblog说在行经“圣地牙哥”高速公路的水泥路面时,新CX-5车内比美规新CR-V还安静
，而美规新CR-V的车室已经算蛮安静了。

车辆在行经水泥路面时，轮胎噪音会变得很吵，是车室隔音工程的一大考验。
The new CX-5 is indeed incredibly quiet, even on San Diego's notoriously
loud corrugated concrete freeways. It is quiet for a Mazda – a brand
previously known for the exact opposite – and the entire segment.
Even the fairly quiet 2017 Honda CR-V we drove on the same freeways on the way
to San Diego couldn't match it.
新CX-5外型更性感美丽，内装更有高级感，新增更多配备和功能，但新CX-5的车身尺吋
、轴距、引擎等规格却和上一代极为相似....

there's sexier styling, a more premium cabin, and additional features,
but the dimensions and engine specs look awfully similar.
上一代CX-5可说是同级休旅车中，追求驾驭的好选择，现在新CX-5更棒了。
一上路，新CX-5的电动辅助方向盘 马上就给人深刻的印象，它的方向盘力道很线性，
重手程度给人很自然、有连贯性的感觉。
新CX-5方向盘只有原厂单一设定，并没有多种设定模式，高速和低速行驶，
辅助力道也不会有太大的差别变化。
(注: 新CX-5变速箱和油门有提供Sport运动模式)

The previous CX-5 was arguably the driver's choice in the segment and
version 2.0 sends the ball further downfield. The electric power steering
immediately impresses – its effort is linear and its weighting feels natural
and consistent. There are no different settings; no wildly differing effort
levels based on speed.
与上一代相比,新CX-5转向和悬吊系统看起来变化不大，但悬吊和转向表现更有细腻感
，新悬吊有调校的比较舒适，也减缓了行车震动感，路面抓地力更好。
The steering and suspension didn't see big changes. Rather,
Coleman and friends enacted more fine-tooth-comb improvements intended to
better road holding, increase comfort, and reduce vibration.
Mazda的G-Vectoring科技，有改善新CX-5的转向反应，减去多余不需要的方向盘转动
，让你变成一位开的更好、更顺的好驾驶。
不过这只是一点点小小的微幅提升，并不是白天与黑夜那样的大幅差别。
This improves steering response, reduces excessive input, and thus makes you a better and smoother driver. This isn't a night-and-day upgrade, but every little bit counts to Mazda.
◇油门反应和变速箱换档都很棒
新CX-5 2.5的油门反应很直接，不像许多同级对手有涡轮迟滞慢半拍的问题。
The throttle is also absolutely spot-on,.......it never has to deal with
the sort of lag inherent to the turbocharged engines found in many competitors.
在Sport运动模式下，新CX-5油门反应很快，却又不会太过躁进。
CX-5变速箱的反应也很急切迅速，在踩油门加速和煞车减速时，
CX-5变速箱的动作都会随即跟上，帮你降档或升档，它的6AT真是棒极了 (It's fantastic
)。
相形之下，同级对手的CVT变速箱就很糟糕 (a CVT would be, um, terrible.)。
新CX-5油门和变速箱反应俐落，这方面的动态特质有Porsche Macan的味道
(dynamic qualities)，同级休旅车无人出其右。
如果有人想找一台有驾驶乐趣的家庭用车，Autoblog说新CX-5就是这样的好车。
◇油耗普普
新CX-5 2.5L 前驱版的油耗并没有很好，市区 8.9km/L，高速 13.2km/L，
比美规CR-V 2.4L 前驱版还耗油。
这是新CX-5油门反应快，变速箱动作又快又聪明，所要付出的代价，鱼与熊掌不可兼得
。
(注: Autoblog只有说新CX-5“油门反应和变速箱动作”的动态特质很棒，不是指操控。
CX-5操控水准和Macan差很大，两者天差地远，完全没得比。)
throttle response can be altered by flicking the Sport toggle, but it only
makes responses that much better without venturing into manic. The accompanying
transmission changes result in an eagerness to downshift for both acceleration
and deceleration. It's fantastic.
The best comparison for these dynamic qualities? Porsche. Seriously, and we
thought that before Coleman revealed that Team Mazda specifically benchmarked
the 911's throttle response (after that study, of course). However, it's just
that good. Much like with the Macan, you completely forget you're driving
a tall, truck-like thing. If you're being dragged kicking and screaming out of
a fun car and into a family vehicle, boy have we got a suggestion for you.
At least there's the smart six-speed automatic, which Mazda quite happily
stuck to. Adding more ratios results in "shifting gears every time you touch
the throttle" and a CVT would be, um, terrible. (Our words, but one reads
between the lines.) So, sticking with the six-speed and opting for right-now
throttle response were decisions made for performance with the knowledge that
class-best fuel economy wouldn't be possible. In fact, it's down a bit.

另外两家美国汽车杂志，也很称赞新CX-5。

美国Car and Driver称赞新CX-5是同级最佳驾驭休旅车，它在其他方面也比上一代进步
The best compact SUV to drive gets better at doing other things, too.
新CX-5总评
优点
老练顶尖的行车品质和操控，优雅的座舱内装，
更多功能实用性，外型迷人很好看
Sophisticated ride and handling, classy cabin, expanded functionality,
great curb appeal.
缺点
新CX-5可以配更大马力的引擎，
油耗数据普普。
Could use more power, fuel economy is only so-so.

THE BEST NEVER REST
尽管新CX-5避震器调校的比较软，更加兼顾到行车品质舒适性。
但新CX-5开起来不会像船一样有漂浮感，也不会过度侧倾。
Despite re-engineering its dampers to have less friction, thus resulting
a more compliant ride, the CX-5 doesn't float or wallow—ever.
真的！(Indeed)
新CX-5仍旧保有“带给人自信感的操控”这个正字标记，新修改的方向机也有更直接的
转向感受 (新方向机的转向齿杆紧密地装在副车架上)。
新CX-5方向盘变得比较稍微重手一点，不过这是件好事。
在同级休旅车当中，新CX-5真的有它独到的特质
