THE new Mazda CX-5 is the first new generation vehicle to be designed through Mazda’s breakthrough Skyactiv Technology and Kodo, Soul of Motion design theme, and is now offered with an additional petrol engine and all-new diesel engines.
First introduced in South Africa in 2012 with a 2.0-litre petrol engine, this new enhanced CX-5 compact crossover introduces for the first time for the local market a 2.5-litre petrol engine, as well as a 2.2-litre twin-turbo diesel power unit.
And to be more competitive in the SUV segment, more features have been added across the whole range.
Attention was in particular paid to design, dynamic performance, functionality, environmental and safety performance to offer customers a stylish vehicle with a predictable and responsive driving experience.
Through the Skyactiv Technology, more power, more torque and more kilometres per litre are possible and safety, spaciousness and style are even better than before.
The winning combination of class-beating fuel economy, fun -to-drive Mazda performance and safety, along with one of the most comfortable and flexible interiors in its segment have made the Mazda CX-5 incredibly popular with consumers worldwide.
Now with the all-new Mazda petrol and diesel engines, manual and automatic transmissions, Skyactiv body and chassis, the CX-5 delivers precise response and a high-quality and a rewarding ride matched to outstanding environmental and safety performance.

• 2.0L Active FWD manual.
