The arrival of the 2018 Mazda CX-5 in the market has caught the attention of many, mainly because it embodies the evolution of the company’s “Kodo: Soul of Motion” design. Learn more about it in this week’s showcase. Watch this.
The all-new Mazda CX-5 is powered by a 2.5-L SKYACTIV-Gas that produces 175 ps of power and 420 Nm of torque. The engine displacement is paired with the SKYACTIV-DRIVE automatic transmission for a more spirited drive. This new model is also equipped with G-Vectoring Control, a system that enhances chassis behavior, which is also part of the SKYACTIV dynamics.
Meanwhile, for the suspension, the 2018 CX-5 uses MacPherson Struts at the front while it uses Multi-link beam at the rear.
Outside, the all-new CX-5 boasts Mazda’s enhanced “Kodo: Soul of Motion” design, giving the model a sportier and more dynamic look. Compared to its predecessor, it now has a more distinguished grille and matching fog light frames, plus new front and rear full LED lights, and redesigned alloy wheels.
Climbing inside the CX-5, one will notice the standard leather seats immediately. The electronic dual-zone air-conditioners are also one of the treats in this model. Moreover, the CX-5 is equipped with reclining rear seats.
But the highlight of the CX-5’s interior is the Mazda’s new infotainment system, the MZD Connect. It works with a smartphone for hands-free and voice-activated connectivity system to apps, maps, social media, entertainment, SMS, and e-mail. The touchscreen is positioned within the driver’s line of sight, with its multi-function control buttons located on the floor console and can be operated by feel so the driver’s attention won’t be diverted from the road.
For added convenience, the CX-5 is equipped with a few more systems that are under the SKYACTIV technologies, the i-STOP Idle Stop System. It automatically shuts off the engine when the car comes to a complete stop after braking. The CX-5 also now comes with adaptive LED headlamps with 12-split array which improves visibility at night. Adding to the treat is the Blind Spot monitoring system that is mounted in the rear bumper to detect vehicles approaching from behind and in the adjacent lane. The CX-5 also comes with Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keep Assist.
Meanwhile, for safety and security, the CX-5 comes with 6 Airbags, and Anti-Lock Braking System with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution and Brake Assist.
