Mazda has updated the CX-5. The refreshed Japanese can be recognized from the outside by its new front and by its sharpened rear. The facelifted Mazda CX-5 is still this year at the Dutch dealers and has a starting price of €35,990.
Mazda generally keeps its models current by implementing annual model year updates. The CX-5 is also tightened every year, but there was never any question of an actual facelift of the second generation CX-5. Until now, the type of model year 2022 will indeed get a changed exterior. Earlier this week, Techzle could already show you the first photos of the renewed CX-5, but now the manufacturer has presented the facelifted SUV itself.
No one will be taken aback by surprise at the sight of the updated CX-5, but Mazda’s intention is not to shock with extravagant design. You can recognize it mainly by its revised front. For example, the headlamps have been given a different shape and the interpretation of those units has also been adjusted. The well-known light signature, consisting of a horizontal stripe and a partially closed ring shape, is replaced by L-shaped LED elements. Also new is the grille and the aluminum-colored ornament around it. The ‘wings’ of the trim now run less far below the headlights. However, on the left and right sides of the grille, the strip is much wider, causing the grille itself to lose width. The CX-5 also has new lighting at the rear. The units also have a different shape here and are also filled in with L-shaped elements. It is obvious that in time other Mazda models will also receive this light signature. Also new is the Zircon Sand paint finish.

Versions
Is there also hidden news? Of course. According to Mazda, the suspension of the CX-5 has been examined, among other things, and the sound insulation has been further improved. More news relates to the performances. Although the unnamed standard version, Comfort, Sportive, Luxury and Signature are retained, Mazda is adding the Newground variant to the delivery range. This version is dotted with adventurous-looking extras, including silver-colored skid plates. In addition, Mazda dresses him optically with black side mirror caps, silver strips, green-yellow accents in the grille and special 19-inch light metal. The Newground’s interior is finished in faux leather and faux suede and is also decorated with green-yellow accents.
The Luxury version now has an induction charger. In addition, Mazda Intelligent Drive Select is now on board, with which you can easily select your desired driving mode. CX-5s with four-wheel drive also get a new Off-Road Mode. Striking: the CX-5 now has a differently arranged luggage compartment, which has increased the load volume by 73 liters to 550 liters. In addition, Cruising & Traffic Support is new, a system that is in the Mazda CX-5 from the Luxury version.
Extensive specifications and prices will follow in the run-up to the market launch, which will take place later this year. It is known that the starting price is €35,990.
