The water rolling in the east of the Yangtze River, the waves exhaust the heroes. Just as the so-called general trend of the world, it will be united for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time. At the beginning of the 21st century, the decline of cars and SUVs rose, and the two held half of the country. Since the Toyoda clan started the urban SUV trend with rav4, the Nissan clan of Yokohama, the Honda clan of Tokyo, the Suzuki clan of Hamamatsu, and even the Yogi of Wolfsburg have all joined the battlefield. Above the earth, wolf smoke and strife are constant. Suddenly, the heroes of my generation are endless, and CR-V, Tiguan and RAV4 are divided into three worlds. Unexpectedly, the Hiroshima Matsuda clan sent a young general dressed in red, with a soul design in his left hand and a Chuang chi blue sky in his right hand, vowing to leave his own good name on the battlefield: CX-5!
Surname Changan Mazda, name CX-5!
At the beginning of the SUV, it had natural household properties. Before 2012, whether it was the Toyota Rav4 or the Volkswagen Tiguan, it looked a bit boring and moderate. The Changan Mazda CX-5 subverted this perception as soon as it was unveiled, and the movement could be linked to the compact SUV! It's like you're shocked to see six-pack abs in a group of otaku!
The success of the Changan Mazda CX-5 stems from two points, Soul Motion Design & Chuang Chi Blue Sky. First, let's talk about the difference between soul dynamic design and ordinary design. As the first model to adopt the soul design, the Mazda CX-5 is a good demonstration of the four concepts of the soul design, large rims, compact cabin, short front and rear suspension and longer engine compartment.
This design idea gives the CX-5 a sports car-like sporty feel, away from the boxy box design of other SUVs. Mazda's design director, Maeda Yuo, once said publicly, "The car should not be a cold machine, but should reflect the life aesthetics of a car from the design and give the machine a living soul", which is the essence of the soul of the Mazda CX-5.
In addition to the design highlights the sport, the Mazda CX-5 itself also has a quite outstanding sports foundation. The 2012 automotive market wind was turbomerization & dual clutch, and the Mazda CX-5 was the opposite of them, carrying a set of self-priming & AT combinations, which combined with the chassis body called Chuangchi Blue Sky technology.
The Mazda CX-5 is powered by a total of 2.0L and 2.5L displacements, both self-priming engines have a 13:1 ultra-high compression ratio, a unique 4-2-1 exhaust system and ultra-low fuel economy. The benefits of a high compression ratio are obvious, with the highest performance being squeezed out at high torques at low speeds and high speeds. Coupled with the fact that Chuangchi Blue Sky's 6AT gearbox is not less efficient than the dual clutch, mazda CX-5 has both self-priming output characteristics and no weak problems in the front section of self-priming, as well as the power comparable to the turbine.
Mazda has the reputation of Toei BMW in the industry, and the official also has the concept of human-horse integration. The Mazda CX-5 inherits this advantage very well, and the chassis tuning under the blessing of Chuangchi Blue Sky is very sporty. The anti-roll performance, rear agility when cornering, and steering accuracy are among the best in the class, and the "SUV with the most driving pleasure in the same class" is the most accurate evaluation of the Mazda CX-5.
The Mazda CX-5 has won numerous awards and has become an SUV that editors love to buy
The Mazda CX-5 won numerous awards as soon as it was launched, first directly winning the 2013 Japan Fengyun Model of the Year, and then being shortlisted for the 2014 World Fengyun Car of the Year & World Design Car of the Year. In Europe and the United States, there are more awards, such as the 2012 European AUTO BILD Design Award, the 2013 WardsAuto Global Top Ten Interior Models, the Spanish "2012 SUV", the British "Best New Model" Award, the Austrian "2012 Fengyun Car Award" and so on.
Some people may think that the international award is still too far away from reality, and the author will talk about what happened around me at that time. Changan Mazi CX-5 was listed in the second half of 2013, and it received a lot of media praise as soon as it was listed. Even many media editors themselves have become owners of Mazda, which shows how strong and attractive the CX-5 is.
Deeper Soul Movement 2.0, higher level of centaur integration
With the passage of time, the Mazda CX-5 has undergone several modifications in the past decade, the soul design has become more and more deepened, and the concept of human-horse integration has evolved more and more, and what has not changed is that the Mazda CX-5 is still the most enjoyable SUV in its class. Look ahead at the upcoming 2022 Mazda CX-5 and see how it's improving in ten years.
The most direct change is the new Soul Movement 2.0 design, on the basis of the original four major concepts, Mazda has integrated the subtractive aesthetic of cutting out the complicated and simplifying. The new imitation mechanical mid-mesh design replaces the original air intake grille, and the newly designed front and rear lights and trapezoidal rear surround design further highlight the sense of power and sporty atmosphere. The newly designed logo wing is the finishing touch, further highlighting the sense of sportiness. If the CX-5 of ten years ago looked like a young player who had just entered the field, the CX-5 ten years later already had the temperament to dominate the field.
In addition to the enhanced sports atmosphere, the new Soul Movement 2.0 looks more refined, exquisite to the level of luxury brands. In the small matter of car paint, no matter how many colors there are in ordinary joint venture models, they are all ordinary metal paint or pearlescent paint. But Mazda did not stop there, and more deeply created a crystal soul red with a unique ratio of transparency and color depth, with three layers of paint. Subsequently, a new generation of paint color "platinum steel gray" was introduced, which has both a steely texture and no grainy feeling of metallic paint. The 22 Mazda CX-5 have added two new colors, Platinum & Diamond Blue, and I believe that the actual performance of the two new colors will still surprise people.
However, the car paint is only a small part of Soul Movement 2.0, and if we want to further explore the details of the design, I am afraid that five or six thousand words will not be able to figure it out. I just want to sum up one point, it is undeniable that Mazda's design has always been the most prominent and exquisite in its class, and the Mazda CX-5 has a unique temperament that other models do not have.
Not only is the design deepening, the 2022 Mazda CX-5 is also a deeper embodiment of the concept of centaur integration. Based on the Chuangchi Blue Sky power with self-priming + AT, and the 1800MPa ultra-high strength Chuangchi Blue Sky body chassis, the new CX-5 strengthens the handling and driving pleasure with the two major technical upgrades of the GVC PLUS (Acceleration Vector Control System) upgrade and the i-ACTIV AWD intelligent four-wheel drive system.
The i-ACTIV AWD intelligent four-wheel drive system achieves a higher level of driving performance, ensuring that the Mazda CX-5 can have the best driving experience in any environment and road conditions. In conjunction with the traction control system, the all-wheel drive system can significantly reduce the occurrence of wheel slippage and distribute power to adhesion tires. And with the help of the Off-Road Traction Assist off-road traction assistance system, the vast majority of non-paved roads are trapped in the Mazda CX-5.
GVC PLUS (Acceleration Vector Control System) is like the buff in the game, an auxiliary artifact in the reality cornering. The system monitors the driver's steering behavior in real time and controls engine torque as it enters corners to improve front wheel grip and steering response. When driving out of corners, the new positive torque enhancement system in the upgraded version can suppress oversteering in the first place, greatly improving driving stability. If you want to feel the realm of human-horse integration, GVC PLUS is your indispensable magic weapon.
Ten years of sharpening the knife, do not forget the original heart! The Mazda CX-5 sharpens sharper and sharper
Some people say that Mazda said that the most craftsman-spirited brand in the Japanese car companies, the author very much agrees with this view, CX-5 is the craftsman to create the sword. Ten years ago, craftsmen became famous for this sword. Ten years later, the craftsman did not forget his original intention to continue to grind this sword, and the sword was naturally sharper and sharper. Looking at the weapons rankings, the Mazda CX-5 still dominates.
