Back in 2013, Mazda began selling a new car, the CX-5, which was one of the first crossover SUVs. It was also one of the first cars to combine Mazda’s signature tag lines: KODO design philosophy and Skyactiv technology. This vehicle made big waves and became extremely popular, with the rapidly growing popularity of the compact crossover class helping, as well. Now, it makes up a large portion of Mazda’s sales, with about one in every four purchases from the company being a CX-5. The 2017 CX-5 has received several upgrades to its all-around usability, and also has some new features that drivers are sure to appreciate.
Visually, Mazda is remaining true to the #KODO design principles that it has followed for so long. KODO embodies the spirit of true motion, and the CX-5 now includes a larger grille, sleeker headlights and a renovated interior. Car design isn’t just about how fast the car can accelerate or the speeds it can reach, it includes aesthetic elements such as bold lines and a luxurious cabin space. The new interior has better sound-absorbing materials to keep your ride smooth and quiet, while crafted leather upholstery and spacious seating keeps you warm and comfortable.
The other pillar of the Mazda CX-5, the Skyactiv engine, has also been altered and improved upon for the new model year. In 2013, Skyactiv design stood for a transition to better fuel economy and engine efficiency, and Mazda has built on that with a new diesel engine. This engine is powerful and incredibly responsive, and the transmission allows sharp and precise handling of curves. Every drive in this car feels exciting and fun, as if the car is an extension of you and not just a machine or tool.
