Title: Spare wheel in Sport Nav+
Post by: giskard on June 10, 2019, 02:29:44 pm: I'll hopefully be the owner of a 2018 CX-5 Sport Nav+ in the coming weeks but had a question about the lack of an included spare wheel.

Can a space saver wheel be fitted under the boot mat? I appears one can't be because of the Bose subwoofer that sits under the mat where the spare wheel would go, but can anyone confirm or clarify?

Thanks in advance.

As you say 2018 onwards have the sub-woofer on certain specs, don't know the implication of removing that, unfortunately.

I'm on my third CX since 2012 and have never needed a spare or to use the emergency inflation kit. Don't forget that Mazda assist covers roadside assistance anyway,
