As early as 2021, Mazda took the lead in releasing a mid-term modification of the CX-5 model overseas, and soon, in January this year, the domestic version of the car has reached some 4S stores to show, and should be officially listed shortly after the end of the Spring Festival.
In terms of appearance, the new car adopts the latest Mazda family design language in the front part of the face, the soul-moving largemouth grille is no longer further enlarged in longitudinal direction, but becomes more flat and wide, and the through-curved chrome decoration below has become more stout. And the two ends are no longer deeply inserted under the headlight group, which is more concise. The internal light source of the light group itself has a sharp double-folded daily travel light strip, which has a significant improvement in the sense of technology compared with the older models.
Also more concise is the front bumper part, the new car adopts a whole trapezoidal lower grille design, eliminating the need for additional chrome decorative strips on the left and right sides of the current model, with a stronger sense of unity. On the side of the body, the new car has not changed much because it is only a redesign, and still maintains the compact and sporty lines of the CX-5.
In the rear part of the car, the tail lights are another major focus of the redesign, not only the overall contour is more slender, the internal light source is also replaced by a double-curved hook-shaped red light strip corresponding to the headlights to wrap the design of the black light group. Not only has the sense of technology been greatly improved, but also the design of the entire rear of the car has become more youthful and vibrant.
In the interior part, the new car has no obvious changes in design, the most important upgrade is to replace the larger central control screen, narrow border widescreen display size reached 10 inches, compared with the current 7-inch narrow screen visual effect has been greatly improved. In addition, the dashboard section also moved the central control LCD screen to the central position, and the size was further increased, replacing the previous three-gun barrel type. Of course, the manual gear configuration of the overseas version of the real picture will not appear in the Chinese market, and the whole series of automatic gears is more in line with the national conditions.
In terms of power, according to the previous declaration information, the new car has not changed significantly, still equipped with 2.0L and 2.5L naturally aspirated engines, the maximum power of 155 hp and 196 hp, matched with the 6AT gearbox. The 2022 CX-5 can be said to be a fairly standard upgrade and redesign, with a small change in the appearance details, further improvement of competitiveness, and what kind of performance can be expected in the future.
