20th January, 2015

Mazda’s most popular SUV is about to receive a 'facelift' with the new Mazda CX-5 getting a host of interior, exterior and safety improvements.

On sale from 1st February, the new Mazda CX-5 has evolved with some internal and external styling changes; the introduction of new i-ACTIVSENSE technologies takes safety to a new level, whilst improved dynamics make driving more enjoyable.

The new CX-5 now features MZD Connect, Mazda’s car connectivity system, that includes a seven-inch touch screen display operated by a centrally located commander control knob.

Further updates and additions to the new CX-5 comprise a wide array of both driving and safety features including Mazda’s first-ever electric parking brake and the introduction of new i-ACTIVSENSE safety technologies but only on the upper level model:

  • Adaptive LED Headlamps (ALH) improve visibility at night,
  • Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) supports the driver in steering the car,
  • Driver Attention Alert (DAA) monitors how the driver performs at speed
  • Smart City Brake Support (Forward/Reverse) (SCBS F/R) adds rearward detection to help reduce the likelihood of an accident.
  • New Mazda CX-5 also offers Smart Brake Support (SBS) and Mazda Radar Cruise Control.

The new CX-5’s front-end has been re-imagined, offering a design that is bolder and tauter than its predecessor.

The front grille mesh has been replaced with five horizontal fins; front head and fog lamps and rear combination lamps use LED on top the model, there is a newly designed 19 inch wheel that includes five paired spokes and there are two new CX-5 colours, Sonic Silver Metallic and Titanium Flash Mica.

While these upgrades make new CX-5 more stylish, it is its driving and handling that sets it apart from the early model.

Changes to the CX-5’s suspension system offers a smoother, flatter ride, while NVH has been improved thanks to ‘path-blocking and concentrated sound absorption’. An outing is further enhanced with the addition of Drive Selection on top the model grade which switches drive modes for a more responsive drive.

The new CX-5 continues to be powered by ground-breaking SKYACTIV technology that delivers both driving enjoyment and great fuel efficiency. There are three powertrain choices available, the SKYACTIV-G 2.0 litre and 2.5 litre petrol engines and the SKYACTIV-D 2.2 litre diesel engine – which all offer i-stop technology to contribute to fuel efficiency across the CX-5 range.

In a further win for buyers - thanks to the new Japan Free Trade Agreement - prices for the new CX-5, even with an abundance of new equipment, have decreased.

The entry grade CX-5 Maxx with SKYACTIV-G 2.0 litre engine and SKYACTIV-MT 6-speed manual transmission had a Manufacturer’s List Price* (MLP*) from $27,800* when it was launched in February 2012; the new CX-5 equivalent has an MLP* from $27,190* – a reduction of $610.

Many of the new features are not offered on lower model levels.
