Launched in 2012, the CX-5 was often criticized for its roomy, yet clunky looking interior and generic looking exterior. Those critiques often outweighed the many positives the car had in store, such as it’s many engine options and the highest safety standards available in a mid-size SUV.
Mazda, hoping to change the story on it’s highly innovative, yet under-selling CX-5 has revamped to heighten its appeal, the face-lift CX-5 model has cosmetic updates with a bold new front grille that accentuates the body’s Kodo design. They’ve also spruced up the interior to be more pleasing to the eye. Mazda added leather into it’s list of available interior options, as well as a mini-nav touchscreen.
The CX-5 redesign along with Akera models are the first to adopt a brand new Adaptive LED headlights (ALH), a new-generation headlamp system, which implements LED array glare-free high-beam technology. With an LED array, the LED light source for the high beams is divided into four blocks which can be switched on and off independently. The system uses a camera to detect the headlamps of oncoming vehicles or the tail-lights of cars ahead and turns off only the light-source block which is illuminating in the specific direction of the other vehicles. This makes it possible to drive with the high beams on at all times, significantly improving visibility when driving at night without dazzling drivers of other vehicles.
The wide array of models continues with the 2.0-litre and 2.5-litre petrol powered engines as well as the infamous two versions of the 2.2-litre twin turbo diesel engine.
The CX-5 keeps the highest safety standards on your side while providing a more eye catching and fun to drive vehicle. Ultimately, the Mazda CX-5’s improved functionality and refined design should boost the critical acclaim for the car. Already receiving awards in safety and family car honors, this car should compete to be the top selling mid-size SUV.
