(Montréal, QC): All-new to Mazda and being shown for the first time in Canada at the 2012 Montréal Auto Show, the 2013 Mazda CX-5 is the first vehicle from Mazda to offer the full complement of SKYACTIV Technologies, which includes a 2.0L SKYACTIV-G engine, 6-speed manual or automatic transmissions, and new, lighter SKYACTIV body and chassis architecture. The SKYACTIV-G engine produces 155 hp and will have the best highway fuel economy (5.7 L/100 km) of any SUV sold in Canada when it goes on sale in Spring 2012.
The 2013 CX-5 is also the first production vehicle to display Mazda's new KODO - "Soul of Motion" - design language, which will appear on future Mazda vehicles. The new 5-point grille will be common to all forthcoming Mazda vehicles, and is the starting point for a striking design that flows backwards, exuding muscular characteristics in an overall athletic form.
The interior is finished in high-quality materials and comes with a choice of interior colours - black and sand. Available interior features include a 5.8" multimedia screen, navigation system, and 9-speaker Bose stereo. The spacious interior comfortably seats five, and the second row folds down easily with Mazda's unique Karakuri remote seat release levers.
