Since when did an SUV drive like this?Drive the all-new <strong>Mazda</strong> CX-5, and you’ll never go back to anordinary SUV. Its performance and handling have the instinctsof a sports car. How? By being the first <strong>Mazda</strong> to boast ourfull suite of SKYACTIV Technology, which redefines every aspectof performance.Spirited petrol or turbocharged diesel engines use manybreakthrough innovations to release maximum power, whileachieving fuel economy that matches, or even betters, mostsmall cars. They're eagerly assisted by a completely redesigned,low-friction 6-speed automatic transmission that's lighter andsmaller to boost efficiency and shift with smooth precision.In the search for more Zoom-Zoom enjoyment, we’ve beenrelentless. Wide-ranging weight savings combine withpainstaking optimisation of the body, chassis and suspension.Where other SUVs can feel sluggish and clumsy, you’ll enjoykeen acceleration, inertia-free steering and light-footedhandling. And the fun comes in front-wheel drive, or grippingall-wheel drive. Even <strong>Mazda</strong> CX-5’s shape makes it hard tokeep up with – detailed airflow management reducing drag,yet heightening stability.Of course, it has the same sports car DNA that lives inevery <strong>Mazda</strong>. Independent suspension handles cornerswith instinctive poise, yet also rides luxuriously. Big discbrakes all round ensure confidence-inspiring braking.You’ve never been able to balance practicality with suchgrin inducing fun.CX-5 Limited in Sky Blue Mica06/07
Performance likeyou’ve never knownAt <strong>Mazda</strong>, we believe driving should always be fun. But at the same time we’recommitted to reducing the environmental impact of our cars. Meeting this challengerequired a groundbreaking approach – and it’s called SKYACTIV Technology.Put simply, we’ve re-engineered every aspect of all-new <strong>Mazda</strong> CX-5 to unleashgreater efficiency and more driving enjoyment than any SUV has ever offered.Engines create more power, yet use less fuel. The auto transmission has lessfriction and is smaller and lighter. High tensile metals dramatically cut body weightto improve handling and economy, but safety isn’t compromised. Closely optimisedaerodynamics boost efficiency and performance.Our clever i-stop system puts you further ahead, even at a standstill.Come to a halt and it turns off the engine to further save fuel. The engine isperfectly positioned to leap back to life as you move off, so restarting takes muchless time than conventional systems. As you enjoy Zoom-Zoom performancethat leads the class, you’ll also grin at using as little as 5.7 litres of fuel per100 kilometres 10 .CX-5 Limited in Sky Blue Micaskyactiv-gNew-generation petrol and diesel power plantsrepresent a fundamental rethink of the internalcombustion engine, releasing more performance fromless fuel. In the SKYACTIV-G petrol engine the precisedirect injection’s multi-hole system minimises fuel use.A unique piston design helps achieve more efficientcombustion of the fuel and air mix – boosting powerand lowering emissions. A major reduction of internalfriction liberates extra free-revving power, while afree-breathing 4-2-1 exhaust layout enhances efficiency.The 2.0 litre 4-cylinder engine delivers a punchy 114kWof power and 200Nm of torque, 8 using only 6.4 litres offuel every 100km. 9skyactiv-DA significantly lower compression ratio thanconventional diesel engines allows for far lighterinternal components. This reduces friction and inertia,enabling much higher-revving, more exciting power –right up to 5,200rpm. Multi-hole piezo injectors andvariable valve lift combine to optimise enginebreathing and economy. The 2.2 litre 4-cylinder engineproduces 129kW and a muscular 420Nm of torque,using just 5.7 litres of fuel per 100km. 10 With a two-stageturbocharger maximising power and efficiency, theSKYACTIV-D engine is able to meet strict Euro stage IVemissions standards without the need for expensiveafter treatment of exhaust gases.skyactiv-driveWe’ve maximised driving fun, and efficiency, bycombining the best attributes of conventionalautomatic, continuously variable and dual clutchtransmissions. The SKYACTIV-Drive transmission locksup to couple directly with the engine over a far widerrange than other automatics. This delivers a significantimprovement in fuel economy and a more direct,manual-like power delivery and driving feel. Shiftsare quick, accurate and smooth across the six speeds.skyactiv-BodyNew-generation design and technologies takeperformance to unmatched levels. The underbodyemploys straight-frame construction, which runsuninterrupted through the framework to booststiffness while saving weight. Front and rearsuspension mounting points bond directly to theunderbody to add further strength. Greatly increaseduse of high and ultra-high tensile steel throughoutcuts weight, yet bolsters rigidity. Even the doors usespecial pressing methods to reduce weight withoutcompromising strength. Despite being light, <strong>Mazda</strong>CX-5 disperses crash energy in multiple directions toachieve collision performance among the world’s best.skyactiv-chassisFrom the ground up we’ve redesigned every componentto create an SUV with an unrivalled sense of ‘oneness’between car and driver. To achieve nimble handlingwith great ride comfort, the chassis uses firmerbushings and completely revised geometry for betterbump absorption. A highly rigid front suspension crossmember combines with higher-ratio electric powerassist steering to quicken handling. Both front andrear cross members offer improved stiffness withmuch lower weight, thanks to an innovative weldingmethod. It all gives <strong>Mazda</strong> CX-5 agility you’d neverexpect in an SUV.i-stopWhy waste fuel when you don’t need it? That is theunderpinning philosophy behind i-stop, our gas savingengine stop/start function. i-stop detects when thevehicle is stationary, at a traffic light or in a traffic jam,for example, then shuts off the engine, improving fueleconomy and reducing CO2 emissions. The pistons arethen primed to restart, like a cyclist who positions hispedals ready to get going immediately, leading to anengine start in just 0.35 seconds. This is faster than anyother comparable system and removes the need for anyother dedicated power supply.08/09
