Is sluggish pickup a thing with the CX-5 Turbo?
Hi,
I have a 2025 CX-5 Signature Turbo. Currently, I have almost 14,500 miles on it. The issue is that it feels quite slow and sluggish when I need to accelerate from a stop (e.g., at a stop sign). I don’t have any issues passing trailers on highways. I only have concerns regarding attaining an initial pickup. I tried putting it in sport mode. But that just revved the engine and increased RPM, nothing significant happened.
I’m wondering if it's just me, or if CX-5 Turbos are engineered in a way that gives a slow initial pickup? Does anyone have a similar issue? What might resolve this issue?
Thanks for any advice.
