The Mazda CX-5 will be in Frankfurt next to the new Mazda3

The Mazda CX-5 will be in Frankfurt next to the new Mazda3
The Mazda CX-5 is a crossover that will be sold from 2012 throughout most of the world. It is the first model of the brand that will combine its new design language (Kodo) with a revolution that affects its mechanical heart to be more efficient (SKYACTIV). We will see in mid-September in Frankfurt.


This SUV will be offered with front-or all, with manual or automatic boxes. Have a gasoline engine 2.0 (SKYACTIV-G, 150 hp or more) and two diesel 2.2 (SKYACTIV-D). For the first time will combine the i-stop with diesel engines, to date only be combined with the 2.0 DISI 150 hp.

We promise a very fineness consumption for the 2.2 diesel, front wheel drive and manual gearbox: 4.5 l/100 km diesel. We will indicate how much power, but if we look at the current range of diesel Mazda could have 150 or 163 hp (maybe more).

One of the secrets of SKYACTIV-D engine in its two variants, the compression ratio is 14:1, lower than the average diesel. That has been done to reduce the formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx). For example, the 2.2 CRTD 150 hp Mazda3 has a 16:1 compression ratio.

They tell us if this new engine runs on urea (AdBlue) and the 2.2 CRTD Mazda CX-7, his older brother. I think for this new generation of engines will not need additives to meet the Euro 5 and Euro 6 in fact anticipated just that. Remember that this additive also reduces NOx happy.

The new Mazda CX-5 was anticipated by the Concept Minagi, and found that the well respected production model prototype lines. The interior is a little continuity with the current Mazda, and I think it is sin to be too dark and even bland.

Of course, we also anticipate that we will see a new version of the Mazda3. Since the current generation dates back to 2008, what we will see a restyling. They promise better performance (more sports), more quality, less power consumption and updated inside and out. We have pictures of him.
