When it comes to naturally aspirated engines, many people think of Mazda first. Today, most of Mazda's models on the domestic market are basically equipped with self-priming engines. It is precisely because Mazda's models have been recognized by many self-absorbing enthusiasts, and now, Mazda has put the new CX-5 into the domestic market, and the power is provided in two versions, 2.0L and 2.5L, with a price range of 17.58-2368 thousand yuan. Although it is a new model, but in some places it has not changed much compared with the old model, so is this car worth starting?
The changes in the appearance of the new car are still more obvious, first of all, the front face position has been refined, such as the headlights are more technological than before, and the led strips with double L shapes look similar to the BMW 3 Series. In order to create a sense of sportiness, the updated model still uses a long nose design, and the body line still maintains a smooth visual effect.
The rear of the car adopts a bilateral single exhaust layout, although it brings a good sense of movement, but the size of the exhaust port is too small and lacks visual impact. Fortunately, the taillights that echo the headlights bring a good recognition effect to the rear of the car.
Although the changes in the appearance of the new car are very obvious, the interior has not been changed too much, or the overall design of the old model is used, and aesthetic fatigue has obviously appeared in terms of visual feeling. However, the operation is still relatively familiar, especially the knob behind the gear, which is more convenient and safer to operate than to directly tap the screen while driving.
The new CX-5 is still up-to-date in some configurations, such as mid- and high-end models equipped with parallel assist, lane departure warning, lane keeping, traffic sign recognition and active braking, etc., which can bring a more convenient driving experience for car owners when driving daily. However, the whole series is not equipped with a full LCD dashboard, which also makes many netizens complain.
Many of Mazda's models have always been the focus of consumers' complaints in terms of space, and the CX-5 on the market can only be said to be decent in terms of space performance. The wheelbase of the car is 2700mm, but sitting in the back row of space feeling is not as large as imagined, the front row is adjusted to keep still, and then sit here in the back row, the leg is about 1 punch and 4 fingers, the data is based on the height of 178cm of the experiencer test obtained, the front and rear row of head space are 4 fingers. It can be seen that the upper and lower space of the car is relatively abundant, the front and rear space can only be said to be enough, if the height exceeds 185cm, the rear row may appear a certain sense of depression.
Even the 2.5L version of the model, its power output can not reach the high-performance experience, the maximum power of 144kW and the maximum torque of 252N·m, the gradual feeling when outputting makes people with more impatient personalities will be a little unbearable, but for the "self-absorbing fans" who like linear acceleration feelings, there is still a lot of attraction.
The 6AT gearbox on the car is impeccable in terms of shift logic, when you slowly step on the throttle, the shift rhythm is more relaxed, and when you press the throttle sharply, the shift rhythm will also increase. In addition, the GVC PLUS acceleration vector control system upgrade version makes it more outstanding in the corners, and this car is still worthy of recognition in terms of handling.
summary:
On the whole, the main changes in the new Mazda CX-5 still come from the design, of course, in terms of configuration has also been recognized by the majority of consumers, although the space has been improved, but still can not squeeze into the mainstream above the level. Although the power output is a little softer, the sense of control is still excellent. But in the highly competitive compact SUV space, can the new Mazda CX-5 stand out? Let's wait and see.
