With global sales of more than five million units across two-generations since its launch in 2012, the Mazda CX-5’s enduring popularity is clear to see. The first production car to feature both Mazda’s Kodo Soul of Motion design philosophy and Skyactiv engine technology – its combination of driver appeal, practicality, style and sales success have ensured that the CX-5 is a landmark car in Mazda’s history.
The all-new third-generation Mazda CX-5 was revealed last year and now UK pricing and specification has been announced for this highly anticipated SUV. Total CX-5 sales in the UK have passed 105,000, and it remains Mazda’s best-selling model in the UK, so with the new car available to order and configure now, its arrival in UK showrooms this summer is keenly awaited.
Offered in the UK across four trim grades: Prime-Line, Centre-Line, Exclusive-Line and Homura, all models feature Mazda’s optimised 2.5-litre e-Skyactiv G 141ps petrol engine, paired with 24V Mazda M Hybrid technology – replacing the previous 2.0-litre base unit. This engine delivers confident performance with improved torque for quicker response, seamless acceleration, and better driving comfort. Producing 141ps and 238 Nm of torque, the front-wheel drive variant accelerates from 0-62mph in 10.5 seconds.
Exclusive-Line and Homura models can specified with a choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, while all models feature a six-speed automatic gearbox as standard. Priced from £31,550 to £40,950, the all-new CX-5’s compelling price proposition sees the price entry point undercut the outgoing car, representing superb value in this competitive section of the SUV market.
Designed under the remit of ‘redefining the familiar’, the all-new Mazda CX-5 retains the iconic shape of its predecessor while advancing Mazda’s Kodo – Soul of Motion design philosophy to present a sportier, more confident form. Longer, wider and taller its new proportions and the 115mm extended wheelbase enhance road presence, stability and space – increasing overall practicality for daily use.
Inside, connectivity and usability have been elevated through a reimagined HMI. The new 12.9-inch – or on Homura grade 15.6-inch – centre display delivers smartphone-style interaction with customisable menus. For the first time in a Mazda, the all-new CX-5 features Google built-in1 making every day driving easier.
A 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and streamlined steering wheel controls help ensure essential information is delivered clearly. On top of that, Exclusive Line and Homura grades also include a 12-speaker Bose® sound system.
The cabin itself offers a clean, spacious and calming environment crafted with refined materials. A simplified layout that wraps around the entire front contributes to a driver-focused yet family-friendly atmosphere. Key features include a new centre console with enhanced storage and on Exclusive-Line and Homura grades a panoramic sunroof that emphasises openness. Exclusive to Homura models, the ambient lighting on the front door trims adds to the cabin’s refined and tranquil environment. Designed for family life, the all-new CX-5 now has an additional 61 litres of boot space, wider-opening rear doors and a 40:20:40 split-folding bench for extra versatility.
The all-new CX-5 is offered in four grades – Prime-Line, Centre-Line, Exclusive-Line, and Homura – each with distinct interior finishes and equipment. Interior options include black or tan leather (Homura) and a two-tone black-and-white artificial leather and suede-like finish (Exclusive-Line).
Under the bonnet, the all-new CX-5 is powered by a 2.5-litre e-Skyactiv G 141ps petrol engine, paired with 24V Mazda M Hybrid technology, replacing the previous 2.0-litre base unit. This engine delivers confident performance with improved torque for quicker response, seamless acceleration, and better driving comfort. Producing 141ps and 238 Nm of torque, the front-wheel drive variant accelerates from 0-62mph in 10.5 seconds, while cylinder de-activation enhances efficiency.
Dynamically the all-new CX-5 benefits from chassis and suspension updates, providing enhanced ride comfort and road handling. With a towing capacity of up to 2,000 kg, the latest CX-5 is more capable than ever — ready to keep up with active on-the-go lifestyles, while equipped with a comprehensive suite of updated ADAS features, the all-new CX-5 achieves a Euro NCAP 5-star safety rating.
Jeremy Thomson, Managing Director, Mazda Motors UK, said: “the Mazda CX-5 is an incredibly important car in Mazda’s history and I’m excited for the third-generation model to join Mazda’s SUV line-up this year. From the launch of the original first-generation car in 2012, the CX-5 has been a hugely popular choice for UK SUV buyers who have loved its style, quality and driver engagement, and having recently surpassed 100,000 sales in the UK, it’s clear this ever-popular SUV has seen amazing customer loyalty and satisfaction.“
Adding, “It’s incredible to look back and consider just how much the UK market has changed since the CX-5’s launch in 2012. The huge increase in the popularity of SUVs means that today the CX-5 sits alongside the Mazda CX-60, all-new Mazda CX-80 and the smaller Mazda CX-30 in our line-up, but it was the success of the award-winning CX-5 that established Mazda as a maker of genuinely sporty SUVs, which deliver class leading quality and high levels of standard equipment.”
The all-new Mazda CX-5 is available to order and configure now ahead of the first customer deliveries in the summer. With refined driving dynamics, an evolved and distinctive Japanese design and enhanced versatility, the all-new Mazda CX-5 is crafted to elevate every journey – wherever it leads.
