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.

The Mazda CX-5 is available with two different engines, either the Skyactiv 2.5-liter gasoline engine or the Skyactiv-D 2.2-liter diesel. With 184 horsepower from the gasoline engine and 173 horsepower from the diesel, the car comes with both front and all-wheel drive options. Other choices include the six-speed manual transmission or the six-speed automatic, depending on your driving style and tastes.

The Skyactiv technology offers a new engineering approach, providing drivers with a better driving experience and excellent fuel economy. When you are concerned about gas mileage, the 2015 Mazda CX-5 is a crossover vehicle that gives you the size you are looking for yet is still economical with fuel.

Like other recent Mazdas, the interior is sleek, with an infotainment screen right on top of the dashboard. Easy to control and with a user-friendly interface, this is a car with all of the latest technology available to drivers. Drivers love the push button start option, and the cruise control with wheel mounted controls. When you like to be able to control the vehicle with a touch of a button, the Mazda CX-5 delivers.

There are plenty of safety features to consider on the Mazda CX-5 as well, making it one of the safer crossover vehicles available on the market. You can send and receive text messages through the audio system in the car, or listen to satellite radio. The vehicle also comes with an automatic 911 emergency notification system, keeping you safe if you are in an accident and can’t call for help on your own.

When you need extra storage space, you can fold down the rear seats to give you a maximum of 65.4 cubic feet of cargo space. Whether you need to move some of your belongings or you are going on a big shopping trip, the CX-5 can accommodate your storage needs.

For a car that handles well on the road, is large enough to seat five people, yet offers great gas mileage, the Mazda CX-5 is the answer you are looking for in a new car.
