New Mazda CX-5 is cutting edge

The new CX-5 also brings new levels of equipment to Mazda, with available options including High Beam Assist, Rear Vehicle Monotoring and Lane Departure Warning. All models benefit from a colour touch screen monitor, and generous standard kit.

The new Mazda CX-5 offers the option of two wheel drive or four wheel drive, and also offers – for the first time in a Mazda – a diesel automatic option.

It is the first car to have the ‘Kodo - Soul Of Motion’ design theme at its core. When you’re driving the Mazda CX-5 you can’t help but attract admiring glances wherever you go.

The Bi-Xenon headlights on the new Mazda CX-5 Sport model also offer an option of High Beam Control, only available on the AWD model as part of a ‘Safety Pack’, which automatically switches your lights to low beam when a car is approaching. The Adaptive Front Lighting System also swivels your headlights into corners to illuminate the journey ahead.

The CX-5 interior features superior build quality and attentive craftsmanship with a premium finish throughout. In this car you will feel totally in command. The unique Karakuri rear seating system splits 40:20:40 to give the Mazda CX-5 maximum flexibility for your daily routine.

Embodying Mazda’s new design language, KODO - Soul of Motion, which is inspired by the power and beauty that can be seen when an animal such as a cheetah changes direction whilst moving. Mazda CX-5 combines SUV solidity and functionality with dynamic styling, where the sculpted body reflects a balance of strength and streamline beauty appearing poised to surge forward.

The Mazda CX-5’s well planted looks begin with the strong presence of the front. The 5-point grille expresses strength and depth whilst the lower grille contributes to the CX-5’s solid posture.

The sporty rear lights complement the sleek front headlights which reveal a round light and wing-like motif by day, creating a unique cat-inspired illumination when lit up at night.

The new CX-5 cockpit environment offers a driving position with excellent road visibility and a command seating position, while every point of contact between you and the car is optimised to fall easily to hand. Luxury seats come as standard featuring premium cloth on SE-L models and leather on Sport models, along with high quality trim. The CX-5 offers comfort for up to five people and a refined driving environment.

The Mazda CX-5 interior is carefully planned with intuitively positioned controls that fall easily to hand whilst sporty seats offer ultimate comfort, delivering good lumbar adjustment, relieving fatigue while arresting lower body movement during cornering.

Passengers in the rear of the Mazda CX-5 will be treated to comfortable seats combined with class-leading rear legroom and ample shoulder and knee room, even if the front seats are pushed right back.

The new CX-5 provides a driving experience you might expect from a smaller, sportier car with all the benefits of an SUV. All-new advanced engines, transmissions, chassis and body technologies work together to deliver driving performance that’s both refined and economical.

The chassis provides the steering and handling agility responsiveness that’s rare in this class of vehicle. The engines and transmissions deliver a dynamic drive with outstanding efficiency, whilst where fitted, the Active Torque All-Wheel Drive system transfers power to the wheels with most traction, offering increased grip on loose surfaces. And with a body shell that’s light yet strong, contributing to first-class safety and excellent aerodynamics.

Lighter cars are better for the environment and can provide a more fun and agile driving experience. With the SKYACTIV-BODY. The CX-5 achieves one of the lowest kerb weights in its segment - a key factor for a responsive driving experience. And, importantly, there’s no compromise on safety because the SKYACTIV-BODY has been engineered using new technologies and materials, including reinforced steel.

The light and strong SKYACTIV-BODY enhances your driving experience and safety.

SKYACTIV-Engines combined with SKYACTIV-Transmissions deliver a drive that will put a smile on your face

The SKYACTIV-D diesel engine with a two-stage turbocharger eliminates response lag that’s typical of turbo diesel engines whilst the SKYACTIV-G petrol engine with direct injection delivers the world’s highest compression ratio for a production car of 14:1.
