Subaru switched to a CBU strategy, CX-5 prices dropped significantly, who is the ultimate choice for handling performance?

Subaru switched to a CBU strategy, CX-5 prices dropped significantly, who is the ultimate choice for handling performance?

Subaru made a significant adjustment at the end of 2025, returning to CBU Japanese original imports and simultaneously introducing the 2.5L naturally aspirated Boxer engine. The cost of this decision is quite straightforward; it has caused the price of the classic Forester SUV to rise back to the RM 220k range, completely departing from the price range of mainstream family SUVs. Almost at the same time, Mazda moved in the opposite direction. The price of the CX-5 was lowered to secure its position, with some variants seeing reductions of over RM 10,000 (starting from RM 138,000). Meanwhile, there was no model change, and it still features the Skyactiv naturally aspirated engine paired with a 6AT transmission.
