Mazda TsKh-5: the benefits of the updated model

Mazda CX-5 quickly and confidently won the hearts of Russian motorists. A model with an expressive design and decent technical and operational characteristics receives positive feedback after a long service life, demonstrating reliability and safety. The crossover, which entered the market in 2011, has repeatedly experienced restyling, and now the Japanese automaker has again attracted public interest by announcing the release of the Mazda CX-5 2022. We look forward to exploring the benefits of the updated model!

Improved design

Although car fans will exclaim, “Where’s better!” Nevertheless, the Japanese have once again worked on the body, which surprisingly combines elegance with a sporty character. The car, the cost of which is closer to the Honda CR-V, is already being compared to the Porsche Macan in appearance. It confidently stands out from its peers in its price category, competing with more expensive by cars. Characteristic features of the Mazda CX-5 after restyling:

? Updated high-gloss black grille with new XNUMXD mesh texture
? Simplified front bumper with clean lines
? Narrow predatory headlights with L-shaped LED daytime running lights





By making individual features expressive, the designers were able to bring the SUV even closer to the ideals of the KODO philosophy. In Japanese, this word means a combination of strength and grace inherent in a predatory animal at the moment when it is preparing for a sharp and powerful jump.

Comfortable salon

The automaker decided not to interfere too much with the interior, considering it perfect. And many satisfied Mazda CX-5 buyers agree. Despite the fact that some competitors are more spacious, the driver and passenger do not feel constrained by the rational layout of the cabin.



What the Japanese have worked on this time around is the seats, which have been changed again to increase the level of comfort. The Turbo Signature trim uses Nappa leather and natural wood to underline the premium category. The company has worked hard on sound insulation in order to increase comfort during the trip, improve the sound quality of music, and reduce heat loss in the cold season. Plus, the interior is retrofitted with wireless "charging" - a useful little thing, indicating attention to detail.



By tradition, the concern paid special attention to the convenience of the driver, who should not be distracted by any trifles from focusing on the road:

✅ The floor accelerator pedal enhances the feeling of control and ensures the most natural position of the foot, thereby preventing fatigue, even if the driver is driving for long hours
✅ The location of the steering wheel has been verified, which is located directly in front of the motorist at a convenient angle
✅ The armrests of the front seats are placed at the optimal height for the hands



Although the car is inferior in size to some analogues, the manufacturer managed to win some space in the luggage compartment by making the floor completely flat. The organizer contributes to the rational arrangement of the cargo. In the cabin, too, there were several niches for storing personal items. A deep tray and a basket with a removable shelf were placed on the center console.

Technical specifications

The manufacturer will produce Mazda CX-5 only with all-wheel drive. Thanks to the new driving mode settings, the car is even more responsive. The crossover is expected to be equipped with the following power units:

✪ Standard 5 hp CX-187 four-cylinder engine.
✪ 250 hp turbo for much faster acceleration

Handling has been positively affected by the modernization of the suspension, which reduces noise, vibration during movement, gives smoothness and responsiveness. The modified six-speed transmission shifts easily and without jerking.

Innovative Solutions

The 5 Mazda CX-2022 will use i-Activ AWD technology as standard. This is an intelligent all-wheel drive system that provides confidence in any driving situation.



The essence of i-Activ AWD is the constant evaluation of numerous parameters in real time. The system pays attention to the temperature and control style, the nature of the movement and other nuances. Thanks to the analysis of all parameters, it is possible to ensure a confident ride on any surface, predicting the grip of the wheels and thereby eliminating slippage.

In the updated crossover, the manufacturer uses Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) technology. The so-called "intelligent driving" is designed to ensure the comfort of passengers, increase driver confidence. Additionally, the system helps to reduce fuel costs.



The lighting system displays how well the driver controls the vehicle using the accelerator, brake and steering wheel:

? Blue color - lights up if a person behaves "reasonably". The trip is a pleasure for passengers, because the car moves smoothly, without jerks. Thanks to the absence of unnecessary movements, energy costs are reduced - comfort is combined with careful fuel consumption.
? The green light is a signal of the so-called "soft" driving. It is focused on the convenience of passengers, but is also quite economical.
? White light - if such a lamp lights up, then people's bodies sway excessively, the car moves sharply, jerkily, and fuel costs are unreasonably increasing.

Mi-Drive records the result of each trip. As a result, the driver can monitor their own progress. It is very convenient that the choice of the mode is carried out with one click. Therefore, the driver reacts instantly to changing road conditions.

Security

The car showed excellent results during testing. The overall rating is five stars. The car earned 4 points in the front and side crash tests, and rollover resistance is rated a solid 5.

Mazda CX-5 2021 was previously named the best choice of the year by The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. According to the manufacturer, the updated version will not be inferior to its predecessor. For safety, the following technologies are provided:

✅ Automatic emergency braking when pedestrians are detected
✅ Lane Departure Warning
✅ Stay on course
✅ Adaptive cruise control
✅ Blind spot monitoring with rear traffic alert

The preliminary cost of the updated Mazda TsX-5 starts from 28 thousand dollars. In Europe, the crossover is expected at the beginning of 2022, in Russia it will appear even later.
