Last year, Mazda ushered in a restructuring in China, and Changan Mazda became the only joint venture of the Mazda brand in China. Recently, Mazda's main sales model in China, the CX-5, has ushered in a facelift, what are the changes?
Mazda's news has been there all along, mostly focusing on speculation about the new Ma 6. Mazda actually has a lot of fans in China, and the Ma 6 left a deep impression on people that year, but the market competition is fierce, and the brand is relatively niche, so Mazda has not been a mainstream popular model.
The redesign CX-5 launched this time is not big at first glance from the appearance change, the headlights have changed to a new style, the grille has been adjusted, the lower bumper has been changed, and a new shape of the 19-inch rim has been added. The trapezoidal tailgate decoration has been newly designed, and the new platinum and crystal diamond blue car paint have been added, and there are currently 7 kinds of car paint colors.
The car is still Mazda's consistent style, in the era of large screens, this interior is indeed rare, 7-inch LCD screen + 10.25-inch touch screen. With wireless Carplay and Carlife. In terms of configuration, for different versions, there are panoramic images, adaptive cruise, lane protection, low-speed brake assist, lane departure, adaptive high beam and front collision warning.
The power has not changed, or 2.0 and 2.5 two self-priming, matching the 6AT transmission. After the adjustment, the vehicle price range is 175,800 to 236,800 yuan. At the driving level, the whole series is equipped with an acceleration vector control system as standard, and a new positive torque strengthening system is added to enhance the handling and driving comfort. It's just that in the compact SUV at this price, Volkswagen, Ryota plus a very competitive independent brand, there has not been much space left for the CX-5.
In terms of driving experience, Mazda's control is still remarkable, such as power matching and coordination, GVC acceleration vector control, and soul design also have their own characteristics. Only in some aspects, Mazda is still very "insistent", hoping that the restructured Mazda can usher in a big change in China, marketing and service are unified, the key is still to look at the product and pricing.
