2017 Mazda CX-5

The All-New 2017 Mazda CX-5 is all about motion. The design is clearly new, and Mazda refers to the design as Kodo, or soul of motion. With slimmer headlights, and a grille that uses a mesh pattern instead of horizontal bars, these changes in the design reduce the cute, round look of the original, making it more angular and sleek.

The back didn’t get as many changes as the front of the Mazda CX-5, although the black trim underneath the rear is a little less prominent and the the taillights are somewhat slimmer. You can’t tell much of a difference between the 2017 and the 2016 from the rear. As a 5 passenger vehicle, this car works great for families who need a little extra room beyond a traditional sedan.

G-Vectoring, Mazda6

When you hear that a vehicle is new and upgraded, you probably expect that you’ll see visible changes – after all, what signifies an upgrade in a vehicle more than a new grille or new lines on the side sheet metal? At Mazda, they think a little differently than a number of car companies out there. With a motto like “Driving Matters,” it shouldn’t be a surprise that many of the upgrades to the 2017 Mazda 6 are not in the looks or entertainment department, but in the driving department – and some of them, you may never even notice.
