Choice of 20 upgraded Mazda CX-5 models in the U.K.

Determined to maintain the Mazda CX-5's position as one of the most competitive vehicles in its class, Mazda is introducing upgraded versions of its CX-5 with the innovative fuel saving SkyActiv technology in the U.K. 

Two new exterior colours are being offered and every model is equipped with revised suspension, featuring retuned dampers, bushes and stabilisers to improve driving dynamics by delivering increased ride comfort and reduced noise, vibration and harshness.

Also, models fitted with manual transmissions feature a new clutch restart system that allows engine restart by depressing the clutch (within three seconds of stalling), without the need to use the engine start/stop button. Automatic transmission models now have a straight-shift gate, similar to the one fitted on the new Mazda3.

Further upgrades are applied to all SE-L Lux and Sport models, with a memory function for the powered driver's seat and a six-way powered passenger seat as standard. Full leather trim comes in Black as standard for 2014, while a Light Stone leather is offered as an option.

For the 2014 models, customers can choose from 162bhp petrol as well as 147bhp or 172bhp rated diesel engines fitted to either six-speed manual or automatic transmissions. The compact SUV can be furnished in three specification levels (SE-L, SE-L Lux and Sport) and is offered with dual or all-wheel drive (AWD), depending on the model.
