At the beginning of the 21st century, the domestic SUV boom gradually set off, and a large piece of cake in the car market was divided. Known for its handling, Mazda, known as "Toei BMW", has launched a compact SUV, the CX-5. Although the sales volume of CX-5 in the Chinese market is not as good as that of Honda CR-V, Haval H6 and other sales evergreens, but with the dual empowerment of soul design and Chuang chi blue sky, the influence of CX-5 in the world can not be underestimated, last year's total sales reached 400,000 units, which is one of the six best-selling SUV models in the world, and it is also the highest selling model of Mazda.
On March 20, as the first year of the new Changan Mazda, the new MAZDA CX-5 was officially launched, and a total of six models were launched for the new car, with an official guidance price of 175,800 to 236,800 yuan. I don't know if the new MAZDA CX-5, which has been fully upgraded, can continue to write glory?
Stunning "Soul Moving Aesthetics"
Based on the "home" and "practicality" of the birth of the SUV, has always been the main space and comfort, for the appearance and driving control is more decent, I have to say that the SUV market before 2012 is slightly boring, rarely brilliant. So the CX-5 was amazing enough to be on the market, as the first model to adopt a soul design, large wheel rims, compact cabin, short front and rear suspension and longer engine compartment, CX-5 for the first time for the compact SUV to introduce the sporty sense of performance car, the SUV market became exciting.
From the perspective of appearance alone, the "soul movement" aesthetic of the new MAZDA CX-5 is more subtle, achieving 7 major evolutions and giving a purer sense of life. The most intuitive part of the front face is the newly designed air intake grille, imitation mechanical structure and dot matrix layout replaces the previous traditional metal grille, presenting a minimalist mechanical sense; greatly adjusted lower encirclement, reducing the overall center of gravity, coupled with the newly designed logo wing, the newly designed trapezoidal tailgate decoration, all of which highlight the sense of movement of the vehicle; in terms of color, the new car in addition to the original paint color, but also added diamond blue, platinum two new colors, more in line with the aesthetics of modern young people.
Cozy "Japanese ingenuity"
Although the Japanese one-sided style of doing things is sometimes laughable, it is precisely the seriousness and persistence of everything that has created the "craftsman spirit" recognized by the whole world. Especially for the cabins that have been in it for a long time, the comfort and peace of mind brought by "Japanese ingenuity" are particularly important.
The cockpit of the new MAZDA CX-5 is the simplicity of The Japanese cars, but the materials and workmanship as far as the eye can see are extremely meticulous, presenting a kind of understated luxury. The "mini screen" that was originally complained about, this time finally upgraded to a larger 10.25-inch high-definition touchable central display, with a 7-inch TFT multi-function LCD screen, the sense of technology in the cockpit jumped out.
Regarding the vehicle and machine system, the new car is equipped with MZD Yuelian system as standard, supporting intelligent navigation, voice recognition control, wireless CarPlay and CarLife and other practical functions, which are also very convenient to use; as for reversing images, ramp assistance, automatic constant temperature air conditioning partitioning, rain induction wipers, electric tailgates, automatic parking, automatic start-stop, full-speed domain adaptive cruise and other intelligent auxiliary functions are undoubtedly standard in the whole series.
Whether it's a comfortable cabin or a rich set of features, the new MAZDA CX-5 shows a unique Japanese spirit of ingenuity.
Trustworthy "Centaur Unity"
Without any surprise, the new MAZDA CX-5 is equipped with Mazda's iconic Chuangchi Blue Sky engine, maintaining the same powertrain of the original model, with two displacements of 2.0L and 2.5L, matching the 6-speed manual transmission. Both self-priming engines feature ultra-high compression ratios of 13:1, a unique 4-2-1 exhaust system and ultra-low fuel economy. Among them, the maximum power of the 2.0L model is 114 kW and the maximum torque is 200 N·m; the maximum power of the 2.5 L model is 144 kW and the maximum torque is 252 N·m.
Mazda has always been known as "Toei BMW", and the official has always promoted the concept of "human-horse integration", thanks to its excellent chassis tuning and precise handling, and the new MAZDA CX-5 inherits this advantage well. Equipped with the acceleration vector control system upgrade GVC PLUS, can improve the vehicle handling performance, even in the face of high speed or cornering, can also be at ease, pointing where to fight; there is i-ACTIV AWD intelligent four-wheel drive system to add Off-Road Traction Assist off-road traction assistance system, strengthening the new MAZDA CX-5's bad road ability to get rid of difficulties, not only can travel on urban roads, but also in the wild.
As Wang Hui, executive vice president of Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd., said: "Mazda is not so much building cars, but rather exploring the harmonious interaction between people and cars and endless driving pleasure." ”
summary:
Ten years is usually an important watershed for a model and a brand. This year marks the tenth year of the MAZDA CX-5 and the first year of the new Changan Mazda. The launch of the new MAZDA CX-5 is also of great significance. Let's look forward to the new MAZDA CX-5 continued glory.
