Prices for new cars skyrocketed a year ago. Since then, buyers in Russia, in an attempt to find a hassle-free modern car on an acceptable budget, have turned their eyes towards the secondary market. But is there one in the SUV segment now? Of course there is.
This is a Japanese “SUV” Mazda CX-5. In the decade since the launch of this model, Mazda’s bestseller has proven itself to be very reliable. First-generation cars cost an average of 1.5 million rubles, which is much cheaper than they are now asking for new Chinese crossovers of the same class.
The 2-liter naturally aspirated PE-VPS petrol engine, which is part of the SkyActiv line, has the best reputation in the CX-5 powertrain line. This engine at the time of its appearance was not only famous for its modern design, but also noted for its extreme reliability.
Many owners of such CX-5s managed to run over 400 thousand kilometers on their cars without problems and continue to operate the crossover without worrying that the engine will soon come to an end.
The main advantages of the 2-liter Mazda engine are the efficiency realized by the direct injection unit with six-jet nozzles, as well as the ability to “digest” the AI-95. However, due to the high compression ratio, the best option would be to “feed” this AI-98 engine.
Of course, only those Mazda engines monitored by their owners are capable of nursing runs of more than 400 thousand kilometers. A prerequisite in order not to encounter breakdowns will be periodic maintenance, including regular oil changes at intervals of no more than 10 thousand km.
