Entering the new generation, Mazda CX-5 has 3 different engine options, including both gasoline and diesel engines.
 |
As reported, Mazda officially unveiled the new generation of the CX-5 small crossover at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show. It seems that Mazda does not want to be inferior to its compatriot Honda, which also introduced the new generation CR-V not long ago. |
 |
However, compared to the 2017 Honda CR-V, the changes of the new generation Mazda CX-5 are not as obvious and impressive. In particular, the new generation Mazda CX-5 does not have a turbocharged engine like its rival, the 2017 Honda CR-V. In return, the new generation Mazda CX-5 has a diesel engine while the 2017 Honda CR-V lacks this. |
 |
Specifically, in the new generation, Mazda CX-5 is equipped with 3 different engine options. The first is the 2.2-liter SkyActiv-D diesel engine. Next are 2 direct-injection SkyActiv-G gasoline engines, with capacities of 2.0 and 2.5 liters. |
 |
All three engines are mated to a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard on the new Mazda CX-5, while all-wheel drive is optional. |
 |
In terms of design, the 2017 Mazda CX-5 is clearly influenced by its two new CX-3 and CX-9 siblings. The front end of the Mazda CX-5 is 10mm wider than before, giving it a more imposing appearance. In addition, the A-pillar of the new generation Mazda CX-5 has been pushed back about 35mm. |
 |
In addition, the new grille is enlarged, connecting with slimmer headlights. Below is a horizontally elongated and quite narrow air intake, making the front of the Mazda CX-5 look wider. |
 |
The side design of the new generation Mazda CX-5 is almost unchanged from before, except for the chrome window trim. |
 |
The rear has sharper taillights that hug the two corners of the car. Finally, there is a redesigned roof and sharp C-pillars. |
 |
Entering the new generation, Mazda CX-5 also has a special red exterior paint color called Soul Red Crystal. This paint color includes many transparent layers and reflects sunlight. |
 |
Stepping inside the new generation Mazda CX-5, the driver is greeted with a fresh interior space thanks to the 3-spoke steering wheel, engine start button, and 4.6-inch color screen located in the instrument cluster. |
 |
Meanwhile, on the dashboard there is a 7-inch screen, reminiscent of the design of Mercedes-Benz cars. The 10-speaker Bose premium sound system and the Mazda Connect system that supports connection to smartphones are other highlights of the equipment of the Mazda CX-5 2017. |
 |
In terms of safety, the new generation Mazda CX-5 has a radar cruise control system and traffic sign recognition. This feature can read speed limits and other signs and display them on the 4.6-inch screen. In addition, there is a torque control system to improve the car's steering feel and handling. |
 |
The price of the 2017 Mazda CX-5 has not yet been announced. It is expected that after the US, the new generation Mazda CX-5 will continue to be launched in many other markets around the world, including Vietnam. |
