Mazda CX-5 revealed
Ahead of a world premiere at next month’s Frankfurt Motor Show, Mazda has released the first details of its CX-5 compact crossover.
The new arrival is significant for two reasons: It’s the first Mazda to fully incorporate the firm’s ‘Skyactiv Technology’ efficiency package, and the CX-5 also marks the debut of the ‘Kodo - Soul of Motion’ design language.
With ‘a bolder family face and dynamic styling that conveys a strong sense of vitality and agility’, the fresh styling theme appears to work well, especially from the front. On looks alone, the CX-5 should provide some stiff competition for rivals such as the Nissan Qashqai and Kia Sportage.
Technical information is sparse for now, but Mazda is saying that European-spec models will get a Skyactiv-G 2.0 litre petrol engine, plus a Skyactiv-D 2.2 diesel. The latter will be available in two power outputs, and it’s expected to have CO2 emissions of less than 120 g/km.
The Mazda CX-5 is due to go on sale in early 2012.
