Mazda CX-5 facelift model raises the bar

The Mazda CX-5, initially launched in 2012, was the first vehicle to introduce Mazda’s KODO – Soul of Motion design to the South African market.
Since Mazda Southern Africa launched in October 2014 with two additional engines to the line-up, the CX-5 has seen great sales success. Mazda Southern Africa has now announced the 2015 Mazda CX-5 facelift model with advanced technology, improved functionality and refined interior and exterior design to the local market.

The facelift model has a bold new front grille. On the Individual and Akera models, new-generation LED headlamps and gunmetal 19-inch alloy wheels are introduced, giving the exterior a more premium design expression.

The MZD Connect infotainment system, a simple-to-operate system that allows easy access to Internet-radio streaming and social-networking services that Mazda drivers consider essential, forms part of the enhancement across the model range. Satellite navigation is standard on the Individual and Akera models and optional on Active and Dynamic models.

The 2015 Mazda CX-5 is the first Mazda model in South Africa to adopt the Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH) on the Individual and Akera models, a new-generation headlamp system which implements LED array glare-free high-beam technology. ALH also features wide-distribution low beams.

The muscular 2,5-litre petrol engine punches out 141kW and 256Nm, yet uses just 7, 4 litres of fuel per 100km.

The lower-powered 2,2-litre four-cylinder diesel engine produces 110kW of power and 380Nm, while the higher-powered 2,2-litre four-cylinder diesel engine produces 129kW of power and 420Nm both using just 5,7 litres of fuel per 100km. A new safety measure sees the addition of the Lane Keep Assist (LKA) on the Individual and Akera models, which assists by adding a slight amount of torque to steer the vehicle back into the lane.  This functionality operates at speeds over 65km/h.

The new CX has six built-in SRS airbags – front, side and curtain (front and rear). The CX-5 reminds you, at every opportunity, to wear your pre-tensioned and load-limiting seat belts.
Safety features include Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) incorporating Traction Control System (TCS) as standard, for confident driving under any road conditions, ABS and Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) which optimises braking force according to vehicle load and Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) boosting, stopping power at just the right time.
