All-new Mazda CX-5 makes its global debut at 2016 LA Motor Show
MANILA: The practical, aggressive and sporty crossover has received the much-needed update and has been uncovered at the 2016 LA Motor Show. Yes, the all-new Mazda CX-5 crossover is uncovered at the show before its public appearance. CX-5 is one of the best selling cars of Mazda and with the next-generation on the floor, the company will be able to manage its leading position in the segment. Though the all-new CX-5 has been updated to improve the practicality level, the traditional designing cues of the brand are still evident.
The front and the rear are both widened by 10mm and the A-pillars at either side of the windscreen is positioned 35 mm back from the previous model. The headlights are slimmer, and the signature wing metal highlight gives more prominent front to the CX-5. The all-new CX-5 sits on the existing platform but, with few modifications. The wheelbase has been kept same but, the new CX-5 is 10mm longer and 15mm lower than the previous model.
In the cabin, the major highlight is the modified infotainment system. The 7-inch display is crisp and uses optical bonding to join the LCD screen to the touch panel. The other changes in the cabin include a new TFT display, a head-up display with navigation instructions, rear seat heaters and rear cabin climate control vents. The Japanese automaker claims that it has done minor changes to the 2.2-litre diesel and 2.0-litre petrol engines but, the result of this minor tweak is yet to be revealed. By making some modifications to the chassis of the crossover, there has been an improvement of 15.5% in the torsional rigidity. Even the low-frequency road noise has been reduced in the cabin.
The other changes include a new range of safety equipment and richer version of Mazda’s prominent Soul Red paint which is now upgraded to Soul Red Crystal. Mazda greeted the Filipinos with its entry-level crossover CX-3 before the PIMS 2016 in September and now considering the all-new CX-5, it will be reaching the UK showrooms by the middle of 2017 and for the Philippines we expect it to hit the showroom by late 2017 or early 2018.
