2019 CX-5 2WD bad fuel economy
Our new 2019 CX-5 2WD getting average of 19.5 mpg around town driving after 3 fill ups.
Very disappointing.
Compared to our 2016 CX-5 2WD averaged 23 mpg around town driving.......same driver, same driving routes.......
Granted......the 19' model EPA is 25 mpg.........vs the 16' was 26' but our actual measured differential is 15 % lower !!
Advised dealer and made service appt for this issue, plus drip type tan colored stain coming from right rear door handle that we've wiped off and keeps coming back.

Being new it takes a little time/miles to break in the motor.
On other hand I purchased a used 2017 GT AWD and driving around town I am averaging 21 MPG.
Don;'t think we will ever see EPA numbers.
Good luck with dealer.

Thanks for the reply. That mpg would really make me happy.
My CX now has 9800 miles so break in period should be over.
We live in Ft Lauderdale FL and the traffic is nuts. When you stop at a light you can almost hear a complete song on the radio. It certainly has impact on mpg.
I do have a heavy foot!
Thanks for your post and I will keep it as a bench mark.

Jim

You may want to see your dealer. I have a 2019 GTR (AWD) and I'm averaging 23-25. Even better without the AC on.
Are you driving in "sport " mode?
