Mine is fitted with a Brink removable tow bar, the electrics are dedicated not generic. Very neat installation , cannot see the towbar socket when ball has been removed, electrical socket swings up behind the bumper and is not visible when not in use, cost was £400 paid to the supplying dealer, fitting was done by an independent at dealer premises. Chose this option just in case there were any problems as the car was purchased new.

We own but don't tow (yet) a new CX-5, had it 2 months with no issues at all. It drives brilliantly and it makes me happy driving it. Surpasses the Honda CRV we had before in everything it does, other than the boot which is slightly smaller.
The new model doesn't have the Diesel in the Oil issue and it was largely irradicated from the facelifted 1st series. The engine gets hotter quicker and regens are much quicker, haven't a clue when mines doing it. Saying that, if you drive it like a petrol you will have issues just like any other diesel. It wasn't in the worlds top 3 cars this year for nothing!.

Bit late to the party with this one but I’ll add my bit. Had my CX5 diesel since last June ,latest model and absolutely love it. Had the previous model and that was just as good. I pull a new 2018 Coachman 545 VIP no problem at all. Just a small point when having the tow bar fitted make sure you ask for ‘full electrics’ as we had a bit of a dance when picking our new car up as the fridge wouldn’t work in the van when towing. It turns out that our dealer forgot to install the extra relay for this. Perfect now.
Cheers
