Mazda launches the second generation of its SUV CX-5
- The Japanese carmaker Mazda now has three different SUVs: the C-segment CX3 (launched in 2015), the D-segment CX5 (launched in 2012) and the E-segment CX9 (launched in 2007). The D-segment CX7 (launched in 2006) was removed from the range in 2012.
- Mazda renews its 2015 D-segment SUV, the CX5, whose origins go back to 2012. The new model incorporates many components of the former model, such as the platform, and looks more like a restyling of the former model than a brand new model (as Opel did for its recent Corsa), as world sales of the CX5 remain at a very good level (300,000 units expected in 2016, a volume slightly higher than in 2015 ).
- The new CX5, remaining manufactured in Japan, takes up the dimensions of the former one (length: 4.55m, width: 1.84m, height: 1.69m). The engines are sourced from the former model: a 4-cylinder petrol 2.0l developing 165hp and a 4 cylinder diesel 2.2 developing 150hp and 175hp.
- The new Mazda CX5 (for which Inovev expects 300,000 annual sales, as for the former model) targets the D-SUV segment, alongside Audi Q5, BMW X3, Mercedes GLC, Jaguar F-Pace, Porsche Macan , Alfa Stelvio, Nissan X-Trail, Toyota RAV4, Renault Koleos, etc.
