Mazda’s new CX-5 SUV arrives in the UK, with the
company releasing range and pricing details. The new generation aims to continue the
successful career of its predecessor, featuring an all-new interior and a fully
revised body structure, along with a clean, attractive design.
Customers in the UK will be offered the choice
between three engine options: one petrol and two diesel units. Petrol models
will be powered by a 2.0-litre Skyactiv-G unit with 165 PS, and will be offered
exclusively with front-wheel drive and a six-speed manual gearbox.
The diesel range is comprised by two versions of
Mazda’s 2.2-litre Skyactiv-D unit with either 150 PS or 175 PS. The former one
can be had with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, as well as a
manual or an automatic transmission. The range-topping 175 PS models are
available with all-wheel drive only and a choice between manual or automatic
transmissions.
All 2017 Mazda CX-5s come with a generous list of
standard equipment, including LED headlights, auto power-folding door mirrors,
dual-zone climate control, DAB radio and a 7-inch colour touch-screen display
with Mazda’s integrated navigation.
Mazda also highlights the availability of two new
optional paint colors: Soul Red Crystal and Machine Grey Metallic, with both of
them using a unique three-layer painting technology. The company claims that
when compared to the previous Soul Red Metallic, the new Soul Red Crystal is 20
percent brighter and has an increased by 50 percent depth.
Prices kick off from £ 23,695 for the entry-level
petrol model and reach up to £ 33,195 for the 175 PS Sport Nav AWD Auto models.
The new Mazda CX-5 will go on sale in the UK from June 30.
