As summer moves on and fall emerges, car companies start to slowly release their 2017 model lineups, which include changes to current cars and maybe even a brand new car. So with all the joy and discovery about new features and designs, is it too soon to start discussing 2018 models? At Mazda we are constantly working hard on our upcoming projects, and recently the 2018 Mazda CX-5 prototype has been seen cruising around town.

 

The Mazda CX-5 is one of Mazda’s top selling cars, with room for plenty of passengers, as well as the nice design a compact SUV offers. The CX-5 underwent a remodel for the 2016 season and got a few changes to the interior and technology upgrades for 2017. But 2018 promises another full redesign that looks to keep the car at the apex of innovation.

 

The latest pictures of the prototype show a significant change to the exterior design of the car. This includes a bit of inspiration taken from the design of Mazda’s larger luxury SUV, the CX-9, with the 2018 version showing off lines that resemble that of the CX-9 but tailored to fit a compact size. The CX-9 has seen chart-topping success over the past year thanks to its premium comfort and excellent driving experience, so perhaps Mazda is looking to infuse a little bit of that luxury into the CX-5 model. Views of the interior also support this theory, though the model is only a prototype, so things could change over the next year.
