Mazda CX-5 launched in Japan, coming to Singapore in April
The all-new Mazda CX-5 compact crossover will be coming to Singapore in mid-April.
Launched in Japan yesterday, the CX-5 is the first model to adopt the car maker's SkyActiv technology, a umbrella term that denotes new engines, transmissions, body and chassis.
Mazda, Japan's fifth-largest car maker by volume, is aiming to sell 1,000 units in Japan a month.
The petrol version, which is the one that will arrive here, comes with a 2-litre direct injection engine with 155bhp and 196Nm of torque at 4,000rpm.
The engine has a super high-compression ratio and will be mated to a new-generation six-speed automatic transmission, which reportedly gives a direct shift similar to a manual transmission.
It has an aerodynamic coefficient of 0.33, which Mazda said is best among SUVs sold in Japan, and a claimed fuel economy stands at 6.25 litres/100km.
A rearview mirror can display images captured by the side monitor and a reverse guiding monitor.
A 2.2-litre diesel variant delivers 175bhp and 420Nm of maximum torque and comes with stop-start technology.
Besides being the first model to adopt Mazda's new design philosophy, Kodo, the compact crossover will have an advanced safety technology called Smart City Brake Support, which can help a driver avoid a frontal collision when driving at low speeds or in slow traffic.
Retail prices in Japan begin from 2,050,000 yen (S$33,016).
