Yes the new two top trim levels of the 2019 CX-5 (Grand Touring Reserve and Signature) come with the 2.5 Turbo from the CX-9. Not cheap with prices starting above $35,000. Engine good for 250hp with premium fuel and 227hp with regular.

I love the idea of hybrids with two rear motors like the new RAV4 hybrid.
MPG for the new CX5 turbo? I like that premium is an option, but not a necessity. I had a turbo Jetta in the past, and the premium fuel cost got really old after awhile. The turbo manual was a hoot, though.
one less is pretty surprising.I believe it's one less mpg. So 27 for the turbo and 28 for the non.

I wish I could "expose" more apps through the CarPlay interface... and maybe you can, I just haven't researched that yet.
Better or worse at altitude? I mean, supposedly we can run 85 octane here but I refuse to. I still put at least 87 in my car. I've noticed when running 85, MPG decreases.The CX5 might ping on steep hills or if carrying a big load using regular fuel. This would be bad for the engine but likely fixable with a switch to higher octane of premium gas.
My '93 MR2 like most turbos, requires premium fuel but with 91 octane premium it sometimes stumbles and misfires when I mash the throttle. With the slightly more expensive 94 octane that is available at Chevron stations in British Columbia, the stumble is completely eliminated and the car gets better fuel economy, which covers off the extra fuel cost of the higher octane.
One thing I've not been happy with with my CX5 is my mileage is averaging just around 26.5, and it tanks to about 22 at Freeway speeds above 70. I wonder if the different engine would fare better?I believe it's one less mpg. So 27 for the turbo and 28 for the non.
Yeah, I was wrong and the new RAV4 also only has one motor in the back. I read @neonorchid 's post with the specs incorrectly.I am not sure about the new one but from the Car and Diver article that you posted, one electric motor on front axle, one on rear axle on the 2016 that C&D reviewed:
"so there’s a 150-hp, 2.5-liter, Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder up front, coupled to a 141-hp, permanent-magnet electric motor using the traditional Toyota CVT automatic. This combination powers the front wheels. The rear wheels are powered by a 67-hp electric motor that has no mechanical connection to the front wheels".
