Performance
Mazda is working to improve on fuel efficiency, and expects the CX-5 to get up to 43 miles per gallon on the highway. As this is a completely new powertrain and new vehicle, Mazda is breaking the mold with the CX-5. Expect something completely different from its standard four-cylinder offered on other vehicles. Mazda also is working to make the car lighter and thus more efficient overall.
Engine: 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine that gets 135 horsepower.
Transmission: Six-speed automatic.
The UK's AutoExpress says it has a scoop on Mazda's next product direction. Using design tropes from the Hakaze concept, which the company unveiled in Geneva, Maz will launch a new small people mover to compete with the likes of the upcoming Nissan Rogue and current Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV-4.
