All-New 2017 Mazda CX-5 (teaser)
A new generation of Mazda’s popular CX-5 compact
crossover will make its world premiere at the upcoming 2016 Los Angeles Auto
Show.
Mazda said it has “refined all
aspects of its award-winning compact SUV’s design and technology to deliver new
dimensions of driving joy.
The Japanese brand’s darkened teaser paints a
sharper and more dynamic looking picture for the new CX-5 with a lowered
profile and tauter body surfaces, some could say it looks like a shrunken CX-9
here, which wouldn’t be a bad thing.
Mazda is keeping the new CX-5’s details a secret for
now, but in all likelihood, we’ll see the crossover keeping the current car’s
2.0-liter and 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline and in select markets, the
2.2-liter diesel engine options, unless the firm surprises us with a new
generation of turbo mills. As with today’s model, it will offer both
front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive.
