Bermaz Motor has
given the Mazda CX-5 and CX-9 an upgraded equipment list as part of a minor
update for both models. This comes with the announcement of its new price list
for Mazda models with the sales and services tax (SST), which was implemented
on September 1.
Starting with the
locally-assembled (CKD) CX-5, a powered tailgate is now standard for the
following variants: 2.0G 2WD GLS, 2.5G 2WD GLS, 2.2D 2WD GLS and 2.2D AWD GLS.
The only variant that misses out on the feature is the base 2.0G 2WD GL.
In terms of
pricing, the base variant starts from RM 132,389.59 on-the-road without
insurance, followed by the 2.0G 2WD GLS (from RM 148,214.45), 2.5G 2WD GLS (from
RM 160,004), 2.2D 2WD GLS (from RM 164,693.85) and 2.2D AWD GLS (from
RM 174,479.90).
Those who want a
metallic paint finish will have to pay an additional RM 377.36 on top of the
aforementioned prices – premium metallic colours (Soul Red Crystal, Machine
Grey, Snowflake Pearl White Pearl Mica) are a RM 3,000 option.
As for the CX-9, Apple CarPlay and Android
Auto are now officially supported by the MZD Connect infotainment system via a
USB cable, and is standard on both the 2WD and 4WD variants of the three-row
SUV. Also introduced are a 360-degree camera that utilises four separate
cameras to aid during parking and reversing, and the front seats now come with
a cooling function in addition to the existing heated mode.
The CX-9 remains a
fully-imported (CBU) model, and is priced at RM 288,610.40 for the 2WD variant,
while the 4WD variant goes for RM 305,610.40. All new Mazda vehicles comes with
a five-year/100,000 km warranty and three-year/60,000 km free maintenance
(except the BT-50).
