Mazda CX-5 was first launched in 2012 asthe first new general model featuring KODOdesign and SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY, and has been acclaimed worldwide for its dynamicdesign, responsive driving feel and excellent environmental and safety performance. It proved to be a core model accounting for approximately 25 percent of Mazda’s annual sales,and to date 1.4 million units have been sold in around 120 different countries.

Design & Technology Redefined
Leading to the realization of Mazda’s dream, the all-new CX-5, which has redefined every aspect of Mazda’s current technology and design, isthe first step in this journey. For the design, Mazdahas settled on ‘refined toughness’ as a keyword and challenged themselvesto elevate the KODO concept to a new level.

Inspired by traditional Japanese crafts, Mazda has pursued minimalist aesthetics -LESS IS MORECONCEPT, free of all non-essential elements. The result is a bold andpremium-looking exterior, and an interior that gives all occupants a pleasant feeling. Thenew body color, Soul Red Crystal, combines vivid highlights and crystalline depths andfurther accentuates the design of the new CX-5.

Driving Dynamics

The all-new CX-5 adopts G-Vectoring Control, the first of the SKYACTIV-VEHICLE

DYNAMICS technologies. Driving performance has been polished in line with humansensibilities, realizing dynamic behavior that corresponds with driver expectations and acomfortable ride with minimal torso-sway for all vehicles occupants. The cabin is quieter,allowing for more comfortable conversation, and the rear seats provide greater levels ofcomfort and usability.

Pro-Active Safety

To help provide driving pleasure for everyone in the car, latest technologies are incorporated, including i-ACTIVSENSE advanced safety features to help keepoccupants safer, an Active Driving Display that promotes safer driving by projectinginformation onto the windshield, and the Mazda Connect car connectivity system.

Breathing Life into the Car

The Kodo – Soul Motion design, breathing life into the car, has been redefined by strengthening the low, wide expression of the evolved Mazda identity. The

thinner, lower-placed headlamps and a signature wing emphasizes the

breadth by spreading across the face extending towards the headlamps.

The mesh form of the front grille adopts a detailed three-dimensional pattern.

This combines with the sculpted signature wing to add depth and a bolder

expression that heightens the sporty look of the front face.

Powertrain

The All New CX5 comes with aSKYACTIV-G 2.5 direct-injection gasoline engine. pairedwith the six-speed SKYACTIV-DRIVE automatic-manual transmission. These powertrains provide powerful accelerationdelivering power output of187hp@ 5,700 rpmand torque of 250Nm@ 5000 rpm (AWD).

Skyactiv Engine with higher compression ratio of 13:1 than the conventional engines complemented by unique 4-2-1 exhaust system and cavity piston gives superior driving performance without any compromise in the fuel efficiency and also less Carbon dioxide emission and environmental impact.

Also available is Mazda’s predictive i-ACTIV AWD system, which helps prevent thefront wheels from slipping. The system employs synthetic oil that reduces energylosses throughout its operating temperature range by maintaining its low viscosity,even in extremely cold temperatures. It also reduces resistance by adopting ballbearings for all its power take-off and rear differential unit bearings.

NVH performance and Aerodynamics

To realize a quiet cabin environment that enables occupants to enjoy stress-freeconversation while driving, particular effort was devoted to reducing low-frequencyroad noise heard when traveling on roads with coarse surfaces, as well ashigh-frequency wind and tire noise heard when traveling at higher speeds.

Compared to the previous model at a cruising speed of 100km/h (62mph), the newCX-5 achieves approximately 10% clearer conversation levels within the cabin andreduces noise by approximately 1.3dB when traveling on rough road surfaces.
