The New Mazda CX-5: Refined and Elegant

Bermaz Motor offically announced the introduction of its New Mazda CX-5. The CX-5 has been Mazda's best-selling model globally since its introduction in 2012. In 2013, the locally assembled Mazda CX-5 was introduced and is the leading model contributing to the Mazda brand in Malaysia. It has earned recognition among customers as an all-rounder vehicle with an outstanding and high-quality appearance that offers excellent driving dynamics and an intuitive experience.

For 2024, the new Mazda CX-5 is updated with new styling, technologies and features, aimed at improving driving performance, comfort and safety.

The new Mazda CX-5 emphasizes the sense of powerful sophistication that exudes from this SUV. Deeply rooted in the refined elegance of Japanese aesthetics, the essence of Mazda’s KODO – Soul of Motion design philosophy as Mazda believes that a vehicle is designed to evoke an emotional response that moves you, like a work of art, and bringing an art form to life.

Its exterior is infused with a feeling of strength surging from the precisely designed form when light hits its surface, focusing on the front and rear of the vehicle. The new design adds an element of SUV-like strength to the CX-5's refined look as a solid mass by accentuating the shape and texture of the exterior by transitioning the curve of its body surface and its reflections of light while keeping the use of character lines to a minimum. A wholly redesigned front face features three-dimensional elements, a front grille positioned above a subtly redesigned lower bumper with a smaller centre intake that creates a sense of depth. The distinctive signature wing that extends outwards from the grille has been restyled with surface forms rather than lines.

Its new front and rear LED Signature headlamps have also been redesigned to give the exterior a bold, assertive impression, highlighting its width.  Both front and rear designs feature four oblong LED lamps, two on each side, which hint a greater aggression and performance whilst emphasizing the CX-5’s wide and planted stance. Additionally, the 17-inch and 19-inch alloy wheels have also been updated with new styling.

The Skyactiv Vehicle Architecture technologies, which has been applied to the CX-5, further evolves the body, suspension and seats to provide a more natural and comfortable experience of driving. This technological enhancement features increased rigidity of the lateral frame near its body centre, with a damping wellbond structure for its vibration suppression and better vehicle manoeuvrability. Its springs and dampers characteristics have been improved to provide ride comfort and driving quality as it helps to mitigate the occupants' head from pitching forward when going over bumps in the road in response to driving input, providing responsive driving stability, ride, comfort and improved NVH.

Mazda is committed to providing customers with a natural driving experience and ride comfort. The New CX-5 seats have been redesigned to reduce the occupants' body sway by optimising its structure and how the entire seat cushion surface is flexed when sat in. The seat holds the occupants' spine in an S-shaped curve, allowing the spine to flex in response to vibration transmitted from the pelvis to stabilise the occupants' heads. These new generation technologies complement Mazda's Human Centric Development, making driving the CX-5 quieter, smoother and more comfortable for its driver and occupants.

The New Mazda CX-5 variants have been enhanced with technological enhancements, driving comfort, connectivity improvements and new features that come standard across all its variants, which include Autofold outer rearview mirrors, Qi Wireless Charger, Wireless Apple Carplay, which is accessible through its 8-inch Infotainment display and LED interior lighting as standard equipment.

As for variants enhancement, the 2.0L Mid variant gets updated with Mazda's Advanced Keyless Entry while the CX-5 2.0L High variants and above now come equipped with Paddle Shifters and new design LED Signature headlamps, which reveal a more significant signature light in a perfect circle. The CX-5 2.5L variant and above also receives newly added front driver and passenger ventilation seats for added seating comfort.

Additionally, the New Mazda CX-5 2.5T AWD variant features Mi-Drive, which offers three driving modes, Normal, Sport and Off-Road, to best suit the driving conditions, road conditions and vehicle conditions. The Mi-Drive goal is to improve the driving experience for the driver to suit the terrain and adjusting to suit the situation better. The Off-Road mode will optimise the following system control characteristics:
*All Wheel Drive for high traction performance.
*Smooth traction control
*Automatic Transmission Control for smooth and continuous torque
*The engine idling speed that maximises climbing capability

The Mi-Drive enables the driver to select the most suitable drive mode to optimise driving capability with on touch of a switch and offers a safe and stress-free driving experience.

In terms of Safety, the new Mazda CX-5 was awarded the IIHS 2023 TOP SAFETY PICK from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in 2023. The new CX-5 2.0L High variants and above are now equipped with new addition of i-Activsense Advanced Driver Assist Safety features, which include Smart Brake Support (SBS), Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC, with Stop & Go) and Cruising & Traffic Support (CTS).

Mazda Malaysia implements processes and quality control steps similar to those of Mazda vehicles manufactured in Japan.
