I have been looking for a new vehicle for 6 mos or so and thought I had settled on a Mazda CX5 until I found out they had Cylinder Deactivation. I continued my search and yesterday found out that Mazda is producing some CX5's without the Cylinder deactivation in 2024. Their web page says its because thier is a shortage of some parts. Anyway I found that my local dealer has several new CX5's with the L engine code in the vin rather than the M that designates CD. I am trying to find out if this engine has the mechanical's of the CD engine just disabled or if its the base model without the extras. I have sent an email to Mazda with this question but have not heard anything back and wondering if anyone here knows one way or the other. If its the base engine I may have to jump on one of these before their gone.
