Mazda CX-5

The 2023 model Mazda CX-5 line up is a significantly updated version of Mazda’s sharp, stylish, spacious and dynamic Sport Utility Vehicle.

Designed around Mazda’s ‘car and driver as one’ philosophy, the Mazda CX-5 has more than one purpose to fit into a variety of lifestyles. Suitable for long family journeys or nipping around town, the new CX-5 is spacious and practical for the whole family. Refined enhancements improve ride comfort and reduce fatigue, significantly through evolving the bodyshell, suspension and seat structure.

 

The 2023 model Mazda CX-5 line-up features five trim levels:

Mazda has long been a brand whose family vehicles tread the line between sport and utility and therefore has expanded the 2023 Mazda CX-5 range to five model grades to define their distinctive characters; Centre-Line, Newground, Exclusive Line, Homura and Takumi, ensuring a wider range and choice for each individual customer.

 

Design

The elegant restyling of the front and rear adaptive LED headlights and tailight clusters blend perfectly with the sculpted body and offer more natural lighting, reducing glare particularly at night time, helping reduce driving fatigue.

Coupled with the new front three-dimensional grille and bold signature wing design, taking the CX-5’s sleek exterior to a new level.

 

Practicality

A small increase in boot space now takes the CX-5 to a generous 522 litres, and the fold-flat  40:20:40 split rear bench helps easily accommodate those larger items. On the Exclusive grade and above, convenience is increased with a powerlift tailgate for handsfree access to the boot.

For driving the kids to school the rear doors also open to nearly 90 degrees, meaning fitting child seats or getting babies in and out of carriers is made much easier. In addition, the seats have been redesigned with better support and padding for stability and comfort. Plus, the drivers seats come with 6-way adjustment with lumbar support as standard, and with a memory function in some editions.

On selected models, there is the option of a reversible waterproof boot floor, power tilt and slide sun­roof and power lift­g­ate for handsfree access to the boot.

 

Technology

The Mazda CX-5 comes with generous specification as standard including Mazda Radar Cruise Control and Smart City Brake Support.

The Mazda CX-5 infotainment system allows you to use a compatible mobile device through Mazda Connect. Information is displayed on a beautifully clear central 7” or 10.25” screen (depending on the model) which is perfectly positioned at eye level. With Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto integrated into the system, it is easy to access music, maps, messages, and make phone calls with Siri or through the car’s Multimedia Commander.

On certain grades a wireless Qi smartphone charging tray sits inside the centre console and there is also the option for Bose Surround Sound System, 360 degree reversing camera, and windscreen-projected colour Active Driving Display.

 

Driving

From the chassis to the transmission to the engine and beyond, Mazda have succeeded in perfecting the driving experience in design, technology and handling as well as to be responsive and efficient.

Mazda’s next generation of Skyactiv-Vehicle Architecture has been applied to the 2023 CX-5, so that road noise has been greatly reduced particularly when driving on rough surfaces such as gravel.

 

Safety

The new range comes equipped with the i-Activsense safety system technologies as standard which now includes Mazda’s Cruising and Traffic Support (CTS) system. This suite of sophisticated safety innovation will alert the driver to hazards and will help to avoid collisions or lessen their impact. For example, the CTS system assists with acceleration and braking to maintain a proper distance from the car in front in slow moving traffic. In addition it assists with steering to keep the car in the correct lane, in slow moving traffic to help reduce driver fatigue.

 

Engine

Mazda have committed to a sustainable future, alongside working hard to improve the driving experience with the new CX-5.

The new CX-5 is available with a six-speed manual or six speed automatic transmission with every trim level and there are now three different SKYACTIV engines to choose from.

 

Colours available

Together with the popular Soul Red Crystal Metallic and Machine Grey Metallic, Zircon Sand has been added across the range.
