The Mazda CX-5 evolves Mazda's hallmark fun-to-drive character and will be progressively introduced to global markets from early 2012. Developed around the full range of Skyactive technology - including all-new Mazda gasoline and diesel engines, manual and automatic transmissions, body and chassis - the CX-5 delivers precise response and a high-quality ride matched with strong environmental and safety performance.

The engine lineup for the European specification CX-5 will include Mazda's Skyactiv-G 2.0 gasoline engine Skyactiv-D 2.2 diesel engine available in Standard Power and High Power versions. Mazda focused on achieving exceptional environmental performance for a compact SUV and targeted CO2 emissions of less than 120g/km for the Skyactiv-D 2.2 engine model.

The CX-5 is also the first production model to showcase Mazda's new design theme, 'KODO - Soul of Motion', which was previewed with the Mazda SHINARI and Mazda MINAGI concept cars. Unique themes of KODO design include a prominent new front view with a bolder family face and dynamic styling that conveys a strong sense of vitality and agility.
