2017 Mazda CX-5

Mazda unveils the all-new Mazda CX-5 crossover SUV for 2017. Mazda aims to add a new dimension by offering driving pleasure that everyone on board can enjoy -- not just the driver.

The new CX-5 model is engineered in line with human sensibilities to deliver responsive performance that conforms to the driver's expectations. It also prioritizes passenger comfort, with a quiet cabin and pleasant ride feel, and adopts G-Vectoring Control, the first of the SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS vehicle motion control technologies.

The exterior is both bold and sensual, and the interior has been crafted to give occupants a pleasant feeling. Efforts focused on creating a bold, tough look that further enhances the distinct personality and dynamic air of the previous model. A lower center of gravity and wider front and rear tread give the new CX-5 proportions that convey a more powerful stance, as if the car is firmly gripping the road.

The engine lineup includes the SKYACTIV-G 2.0 and SKYACTIV-G 2.5 direct-injection gasoline engines. These powertrains provide powerful acceleration with linear characteristics along with excellent fuel economy and environmental performance. Also available is Mazda's predictive i-ACTIV AWD system, which helps prevent the front wheels from slipping.

The new CX-5 adopts G-Vectoring Control, the first technology in Mazda's new SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS series. By adjusting engine torque in response to steering wheel action, it delivers unified control over lateral and longitudinal acceleration (G) forces and optimizes the vertical load on each wheel. GVC is particularly effective in SUVs, which can be prone to generating lateral forces due to their relatively high center of gravity.
