14-09-2011 at 12:00: New Mazda CX-5 Takes Centre Stage

The world premiere of the all-new Mazda CX-5 is the one of the highlights of this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show.

It is the first new-generation Mazda vehicle to include Mazda’s breakthrough SKYACTIV technologies and an eye-catching new design direction called ‘KODO – Soul of Motion’.

The CX-5 compact crossover SUV features a full set of all-new SKYACTIV technologies such as engines, transmissions and a new chassis and body that further enhance the Mazda fun-to-drive experience together with outstanding environmental and safety performance.

The world premiere of the all-new Mazda CX-5 at Frankfurt begins a new era for the Mazda brand bringing together the full range of unique Mazda-developed SKYACTIV Technologies and the exciting new ‘KODO – Soul of Motion’ design language.

The CX-5 will be available with both petrol and diesel engines featuring record-breaking compression ratios which are coupled to the new SKYACTIV-DRIVE six-speed automatic or the new SKYACTIV-MT six-speed manual.

These technologies are combined with a new platform featuring lightweight yet rigid body and chassis structures, aerodynamic efficiency for precise response and a high-quality, rewarding ride. And these are matched to outstanding environmental and safety performance. Customers can choose from two- and all-wheel-drive versions.

Mazda CX-5 engineers focused on achieving exceptional environmental performance for a compact SUV and the European-spec models have targeted CO2 emissions of less than 120 g/km for the SKYACTIV-D 2.2 diesel model with standard power, front-wheel-drive, manual transmission.

On the inside, CX-5 has generous boot volume and rear legroom – one of the segment’s largest, in fact – high quality feel, superior functionality and low noise levels for a most enjoyable ride.

Superior safety performance is realised by offering Rear Vehicle Monitoring (RVM)* and all-new active safety equipment like Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)*, High-Beam Control (HBC)*, and Lane Departure Warning*.

When combined with a fantastic new design language that expresses a strong sense of vitality and agility, Mazda’s new core model CX-5 promises to set a new standard in the compact SUV segment when launched in early 2012.
