Compared to the original (Fury Road), where I’ve watched comparisons and never realised so much of the film was augmented with CGI.

The same way 60% of a horror movie is sound, 60% of "good CGI" is hiding the fact you're doing CGI. The clearest example might be Game Of Thrones after a central character loses their right hand. The stump you see is always practical. The whole forearm is a prop. They used computers to hide his real arm sticking out his fake elbow, because they knew that's not where you'd look.

Fury Road filmed the cars and faked the dirt.
