Mazda’s all-new CX-5 compact SUV, due on-sale next year, is the first to debut the full range of SKYACTIVE technologies.
Measuring 4.54-metres in length, 1.84-metres in width and 1.67-metres in height, the all-new Mazda CX-5 has a wheelbase of 2.7-metres and Mazda says the newcomer delivers class-leading rear legroom of 997mm.
Practicality is a strong part of the Mazda CX-5 – the rear seat split-folds 40/20/40 but even when it’s in place, luggage capacity is 500-litres.
In Europe, Mazda will launch the CX-5 with choice of front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive, manual or automatic transmissions.
Power comes from Mazda’s SKYACTIVE direct injection petrol and turbo-diesel engines.
The petrol powerplant is a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder good for 121kW/210Nm and fuel consumption as low as 5.0l/100kms. There are two 2.2-litre diesels (110kW/380Nm and 129kW/420Nm) with fuel consumption as low as 3.8l/100kms (all are European measurements).
Mazda says C02 emissions for the all-new CX-5 will be as low as 120g/km.
On the technology front, look for Smart City Brake Support, Rear Vehicle Monitoring, High Beam Control and Lane Departure Warning.
Mazda Australia has not as yet finalized local specifications for the all-new CX-5.
