MAZDA CX-5

The CX-5 (due to go on sale in Japan in spring 2012) is the first vehicle of a new Mazda generation that will adopt the full range of Mazda’s breakthrough SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY and new design theme, ‘KODO – Soul of Motion’. The CX-5’s design simultaneously expresses SUV-like solidity and functionality as well as KODO’s characteristic vitality and agility. The SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY delivers predictable and responsive handling for a high-quality, refined driving experience balanced with outstanding environmental and safety performance. Eco-friendly features include the SKYACTIV-D engine, which boasts the world’s lowest compression ratio of 14:0 and clears Japan’s Post New Long-Term Emissions Regulations without any expensive NOx after treatment technology, and i-stop, Mazda’s unique idling stop system with the world’s fastest engine restart of just 0.4 seconds.
