Considering a 2022 Turbo
I currently own a 2019 CX 5 Grand Touring. I am considering trading it in for a 2022 Turbo Signature.
To those of you who currently own a turbo CX 5, would appreciate your thoughts on performance, gas mileage, and if there is an acceleration delay when you first depress the accelerator.
Thanks!

To common misconception having to do with ECU controlled engine with Turbochargers or superchargers from vehicle manufactures. Turbo "lag" is almost nonexistent with most all gasoline production vehicles in almost 2plus decades.
If you don't drive throttling up into boost all the time your MPG should be the same or close to a none Turbocharged engine.

I too had a '19 GT and now have a '21 GTR with the 2.5T engine. I highly recommend it performance wise, but you will take a hit on the MPG front. We are about 4-5 MPG less with the turbo and than the NA 2.5 was and we do not drive aggressively.

I have a '21 GTR and the MPG in town runs in the lows 20s. I haven't noticed any lag on acceleration, but I don't normally mat the throttle either.
Where I found the real difference is the Turbo model seemed quieter in normal driving and was far more responsive in most driving situations. Overall and much nicer car as far as I'm concerned.

Note: Both engines Turbocharged and none Turbo break in is about 28-35,000 miles. So, comparing results must be from those that have at least reach the break in period of the engines.
And also, as my first post the engine none boosted should be at or very close to the same MPG. between the engines This can be easily verified by use of a OBDII monitor. And it is it practical applied physics.

I have a 2021 Signature with the turbo. I don't notice any turbo lag. After 8,100 miles my average fuel economy is 27 mpg. I live in a rural area and don't spend much time at traffic lights. I also don't have any oil consumption issues, which has been a topic for discussion on another thread. The decision is yours, but I really appreciate the extra power compared to my 2016 CX5. The mileage hit has been minimal for me.
Oh hell, go for it!

Had a 2021 CX5 with the 2.5 turbo and found it quite responsive on the go pedal and pretty quick off the mark too. Only problem I had was fuel economy. I tow a small caravan from time to time and 14 - 16lt per 100km, (Australian measures) was pretty tough to take seeing I drove it like my age......pretty grandpa like!! Even around town 10-11lts was the best I could get. I quit it and got the plain old 2.5 non turbo. Sure, a tad slower but on fuel, I'm miles ahead.
