New CX-5

Overview

Mazda CX-5 | Coming March 2012

Mazda's All-New CX-5 will deliver a compelling mix of style and space when it joins the newly-classified medium SUV segment later this month.

The Mazda CX-5 will be the first new entrant into the newly-classified medium SUV segment and with SUV buyers typically requiring ample space for a wide variety of uses, Mazda has designed the CX-5 to fit perfectly with busy lifestyles.

An overall length of 4,540mm and an overall width of 1,840mm ensures that the CX-5 offers the right combination of passenger comfort and luggage space.

Rear seat passengers will experience an increase in leg room of 72mm over the popular CX-7 while head room and cargo room volume have also increased.

The footprint of the All-New CX-5 is larger than first impressions might suggest with its overall dimensions of 8.4m2 being bigger than Australia's four best-selling compact SUVs of 2011

These dimensions also play a big part in the CX-5s powerful and well-proportioned stance as well as complementing the new KODO design language.

With the CX-5 being built on an entirely new platform designed to incorporate Mazda's new SKYACTIV Technology, smarter interior packaging and sharp exterior design is complemented by improved fuel efficiency and enhanced driving dynamics.

The All-New CX-5 is the first car to feature the full suite of SKYACTIV Technology which includes new petrol and diesel engines, new manual and automatic transmissions, lighter chassis and a stronger body.

Available in either Front-Wheel Drive or All-Wheel Drive, the new CX-5 range will provide the right alternative whether it's for city driving or weekends away in the country.

Exterior

All-New Mazda CX-5

There's never been an SUV like it. Performance and handling with the instincts of a sports car, plus the amazing fuel saving advantage of SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY. Now you can have a nimble drive and class-leading economy, along with all the space and practicality of an SUV.

Interior

Skyactiv Technology - Prepare to leap ahead

Mazda CX-5 is the first new-generation vehicle to boast the full suite of SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY. It represents a complete re-design of the engine, transmission, chassis, aerodynamics and vehicle weight. Breakthrough innovations that minimise fuel consumption and emissions, yet maximise Zoom-Zoom performance, handling and fun. Our clever i-stop system extends your advantage. Come to a halt and it turns off the engine to boost fuel savings. You'll enjoy performance other SUVs can’t keep up with, and also love using as little as 5.1 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres*.

Performance

No Ordinary SUV

Mazda CX-5 debuts a whole new design direction we call 'KODO - Soul of Motion.' Its inspiration comes from the shape and muscular strength of a cheetah that's about to pounce. Fresh thinking continues inside, with elegant, driver-oriented sports instrumentation.

Safety

You get a reverse camera as standard, plus features like parking sensors, Lane Departure Warning and Blind Spot Monitoring on selected models. The premium interior generously accommodates five people and all their gear.
