Counting down to the launch of the all-new CX-5 compact SUV, Mazda says its newcomer will deliver class-leading fuel consumption of just 5.7l/100kms (2.2-litre SKYACTIV-D clean diesel).
Significant gains in both reduced fuel consumption and torque are the keys for Mazda’s new SKYACTIV technology and, in the latter department, the new CX-5 also delivers with 129kW/420Nm from the 2.2-litre diesel. The all-new, all-wheel-drive Mazda CX-5 will hit the local market in a few weeks and will be the first new Mazda to feature the full range of SKYACTIV benefits (also includes the SKYACTIV-Drive automatic transmission and SKYACTIVE body and chassis).
“We’ve been keen to add a diesel engine with an automatic transmission to our range for quite some time. The development of the CX-5 and our new SKYACTIV technology has given us this opportunity and, quite frankly, we can’t wait to get it here,” revealed Alastair Doak, Mazda Australia’s marketing chief. “There’s certainly demand for a diesel automatic combination, particularly in the SUV segment and with the right powertrain combinations, plus all-new technology and design we’re confident that CX-5 has the goods to become one of Australia’s most popular SUVs.”
