Can someone please answer a question I have pondered for some time. The CX5 is listed at 3590 pounds and has a 0-60 time of 8.6 seconds, yet the CX9 is listed at 4585 pounds and a 0-60 time of 7.9 seconds, as indicated by Consumer Reports. Assuming the vehicles tested had the same engine, why the disparity in performance. Just curious.

 

Which engine is in the CX-5 tested? Turbo or non turbo?

Is the CX-5 FWD or AWD?
Is the CX-9 FWD or AWD?

 

I don't know that yet. I just contacted Consumer Reports this am. That was my question also. I just thought maybe someone had questioned this and had an answer.

 

That's almost certainly the naturally aspirated CX-5 engine. MotorTrend recorded 0-60 for the 2019 CX-5 Signature (with 2.5T) at 6.4 secs on premium fuel.
