We have redefined what SUV’s are all about. The Mazda CX-5 is an SUV with the agility and performance of a sports car. This is revealed in its 2.2 litre diesel engine that produces 129kW of power and 420Nm of torque, while the 2.5 litre petrol engine delivers 141kW of power and 256Nm of torque. It is also available in a 2.0 litre engine that produces and amazing 121kW of unbridled power and 210Nm of torque. Thanks to SKYACTIV technology these cars deliver immense performance using minimal fuel. And if that isn’t enough, the CX-5 offers features like MZD Connect as standard, while the Navigation System is available on the Akera and Individual models. With so much attention to detail, you would think we were making an explosive.
The impossible made possible.
