Mazda Motor Corporation today unveiled the all-new Mazda CX-5
crossover SUV. The fully redesigned model, which refines every
element of Mazda's design and technology to offer new dimensions of
driving pleasure, will be launched in Japan in February before
being rolled out to global markets.
The slogan for development of the all-new CX-5 was "an SUV all
customers will enjoy," and Mazda aimed to add a new dimension by
offering driving pleasure that everyone on board can enjoy-not just
the driver. The model is engineered in line with human
sensibilities to deliver responsive performance that conforms to
the driver's expectations. It also prioritizes passenger comfort,
with a quiet cabin and pleasant ride feel, and adopts G-Vectoring
Control, the first of the SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS vehicle motion
control technologies. Designed under the KODO-Soul of Motion design
theme, the exterior is both bold and sensual, and the interior has
been crafted to give occupants a pleasant feeling. The body color
lineup includes the newly developed Soul Red Crystal, which
highlights the beauty and quality of Mazda's KODO designs.
The powertrain lineup comprises the SKYACTIV-G 2.0 and 2.5
gasoline, and SKYACTIV-D 2.2 diesel engines. All three options
offer powerful, linear driving performance and outstanding
environmental performance.
The all-new CX-5 will be on display at the Los Angeles Auto Show,
open to the public Nov. 18-27.(1)
Launched in 2012, the CX-5 was the first new-generation model
featuring SKYACTIV technology(2) and KODO design. It has since
grown into a core model that is sold in over 120 countries and
accounts for approximately one quarter of Mazda's global sales
volume.(3) It has won around 90 awards worldwide, including
2012-2013 Japan Car of the Year.(4)
By providing driving pleasure to everybody who drives or rides in
one of its vehicles, Mazda aims to enrich people's lives and become
a brand with which customers feel an emotional connection.

technologies, including gasoline and diesel engines, transmissions,

development.
