As other car makers grapple with supply chain issues that are pushing vehicle deliveries out by as much as 12 months, Japanese car maker Mazda finds itself in the happy position of having plenty of stock, short lead times and a freshly updated version of its popular CX-5 mid-sized SUV to take to market.

The facelifted CX-5 was launched to the media in South Australia’s Barossa Valley, with Mazda Australia Managing Director Vinesh Bhindi telling journalists the model remained one of Mazda’s most globally significant, accounting for more than over 3.5 million sales over the past decade.

Fully 230,000 of these sales have been in Australia, where Mazda enjoys market share above its global average and where the CX-5 was the number one selling SUV for seven consecutive years between 2013 and 2019.

This year, the vehicle that first brought Mazda’s ‘Kodo’ design language celebrates its 10th anniversary and to mark the occasion Mazda has endowed it with fresh looks, new features and more distinctive model grades.

The SUV segment shows no sign of slowing, according to Mr Bhindi, a fact that has prompted Mazda to push forward with the launch of a new mid-sized model later this year, designed to be complimentary to the CX-5.

The new Mazda CX-60 will boast similar proportions to the CX-5 but with an inline six-cylinder engine and rear-wheel drive layout, promises to be a more sporting and luxurious product.

Mazda executives are quick to dismiss suggestions the CX-60 will cannibalise sales of up-spec variants of the CX-5, pointing to the success of the complementary CX-3 and CX-30 and the brand’s eight-seat CX-8 and CX-9 models as examples of how adding additional models in the same category can grow overall market share.

But right now, the CX-5 is the brand’s singular torch bearer in the medium-SUV category, this new version “stripping away the clutter and smoothing the surfaces”, in Mazda’s own words, to create a refreshed exterior look, with a bolder face that incorporates new headlights and grille.

Polished design remains a key part of Mazda’s appeal and this latest iteration of the CX-5 introduces a subtle but effective massaging of the proven formula.

Mazda describes the design changes as creating a more unified look, while at the same time more clearly distinguishing between the individual model grades, of which there are 12.

There’s also a new Active Driving Display, a 7-inch TFT display in the gauge cluster, a new Sport and Off-Road Mode Mi-Drive switch on petrol AWD models, a configurable rear cargo area that enables the setting of a flat cargo floor and full LED headlamps and taillamps.

In addition to the design changes already mentioned, the CX-5 Akera is further differentiated from its stablemates by way of smart-looking body colour painted wheel arch and lower body cladding, larger diameter twin exhaust tail pipes and upgraded Adaptive LED Headlamps, plus unique 19-inch alloy wheels finished in bright silver.

This well-appointed model now boasts wireless smartphone charging, a hands-free power tailgate and reversible floorboard setup in the cargo area. That’s in addition to what was an already generous level of standard equipment, including soft Nappa leather trim, ventilated front seats, heated outer seats in the second row, heated leather steering wheel, real wood door and dashboard trim inserts, frameless rear-view mirror and 7-inch TFT LCD multi-information meter display.

Mazda claims to have made numerous improvements to enhance handling, comfort, steering and dynamics, as well as further reducing NVH, but to be frank it’s been a long time between test drives of the CX-5, so we’re not able to comment on the efficacy of these changes.

The six-speed automatic is responsive, refined and goes about its business without fuss, its shift aggressiveness able to be sharpened by selecting Sport mode via the Mi-Drive (Mazda Intelligent DriveSelect) system which also offers Normal, Off-Road, and Towing modes.

Another area where the Mazda trails its Korean rival is in interior presentation and technology, with the CX-5 still using a conventional-looking instrument binnacle with analogue-style speedo and tacho.

There is a small 7-inch TFT display within the gauge cluster, but it stops short of the full digital dash setup found in the rival Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage.

The addition of premium Nappa leather interior trim may assuage some concerns on this front with Mazda’s design, finish and materials quality as good or better than any of its rivals and the Akera further differentiated with standard features like a Premium Bose audio system with 249-watt amplifier and 10-speakers (including subwoofer).

While the CX-5 is clearly not designed to carve corners like an MX-5 sports car, the Mazda SUV boasts above average-dynamics that enable it to be driven enthusiastically when required.

The changes represent incremental but meaningful improvements to a winning formula and for those buyers wanting something even fresher and more exciting, the new Mazda CX-60 awaits in the wings.

Aside from its excellent driving dynamics and reliability that Mazda cars have come to be known for, the CX-5 can comfortably seat five people. Its sportier look outside is matched with a versatile boot space and a premium-feel interior that appeal mostly to urban families with an active lifestyle.

It is also equipped with many family-friendly and technologically advanced convenience and safety features, such as keyless entry, push-button start, a four-speaker stereo, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, 17-inch alloy wheels, and LED headlights.

Standard features include the Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC), Rear Parking Sensors, and Smart City Brake Support (SCBS). The top-spec trims come with many additional advanced technologies, like Front Parking Sensors, Active Driving Display, Traffic Sign Recognition, Premium BOSE® Audio, Sunroof, Power Tailgate, 360° View Monitor, and 7-Inch TFT LCD Multi-Information Meter Display.

The car also has a revolutionary under-bonnet camera that adds extra vision and recreates the front-axle of your car, making it “smarter” enough to show you what you’re about to drive over and where you’re placing the wheels. Additionally, a water-repelling camera is mounted on the rear of the roof and displayed on the rear-view mirror.

Mazda has officially disclosed some details of the new designs for its bestselling CX5 SUV range that will be launched in Australia in the first half of 2022, according to the company"s blog post on 15 September, 2021. The redefined and redesigned Mazda CX-5 is said to strengthen the company"s reputation for versatility, style and safety.

Several general changes in terms of exterior design and vehicle technology are made to the entire Mazda CX-5 grades, including the Maxx and Maxx Sport.

The characteristic lines on the exteriors of Mazda CX 5 units will now be reduced. In exchange, the redesigned ones will now showcase sleek, reflective body surfaces. Such redefinition is a manifestation of Mazda"s dedication towards its Kodo Design principles, which was first introduced in 2010 with the CX 5 range and has been the company"s design philosophy for all its car models since then. Kodo Design basically uses Japanese aesthetics wherein complex lines are avoided, and instead, a dynamic appeal is created by utilising flowing lines.

For the rear end, Mazda introduces a new signature wing that expands from the front. A tweaked bumper is also included at the rear end. The taillights will also get the same significant redesign made to the headlights.

Technological enhancements are also made in the new Mazda CX-5 across all grades. Some of these include:A refreshed six-speed automatic transmission that is more responsive for a smoother acceleration;

These new-generation technologies will complement Mazda"s philosophy on human-centric development, which will make driving a CX5 or any other Mazda range quieter, smoother and more comfortable.

The Mazda Intelligent Drive Select, or Mi-Drive, will be introduced in the redefined and redesigned Mazda CX-5 lineup. With this technology, the driver can choose the drive mode that best suits his or her journey or mood. In short, the Mi-Drive allows for a one-touch control for optimised driving capability.

The GT SP, which is the second-to-the-top grade in the Mazda CX 5 range, is designed to showcase a sporty appeal, featuring black highlights inside and out. This grade is also the newest member in the current CX5 lineup.

Mazda has yet to make an official public statement regarding the distinct design changes for the Mazda CX5 Maxx and Maxx Sport, if any. The company said that it will confirm the full design changes to all and each of the CX-5 grades as the Australian market launch draws near in 2022.

The features that set the CX5 flagship Akera apart from Touring and the rest of the grades are:Unlike the other grades, headlamps in Akera utilises Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH), which is Mazda"s technology that lights up the road as if it were daytime, enabling stress-free and safe driving at all times;

Mazda’s CX-5 has long reigned as Australia’s favourite mid-size SUV, but 2020 is likely the year it loses that title to the much-improved, new-generation Toyota RAV4.

To try and keep up with fresher competition though, Mazda has introduced rolling updates to the popular CX-5, including a new off-road mode for all-wheel drive (AWD) variants that better equips the stylish SUV for rough terrain.

The first of Mazda’s models to adopt its latest design language, the second-generation Mazda CX-5 hit Australian showrooms in 2017 and has remained largely the same since.

Even after three years, the CX-5 looks gorgeous and isn’t out of place alongside some of Mazda’s newer offerings such as the Mazda3 small car and new CX-30 small SUV.

Inside, Mazda’s CX-5 is a clear step above in quality compared to its mainstream rivals, and even nudges close to the fit and finish of luxury brands including BMW and Audi.

We don’t have much to complain about in with the CX-5’s design, inside or out, but at the risk of nit-picking, we’d say the multimedia screen is starting to look dated, especially when stacked up against the well-designed unit of the Mazda3 and CX-30.

Though Mazda has slightly increased the pricing of its CX-5 for the 2020 model year, there"s still a wide selection of grades available from $30,980, before on-road costs, to $51,330.

Standard features across the range include an 8.0-inch multimedia display, 17-inch wheels and push-button start, but our test car was also kitted out with dual-zone climate control, satellite navigation, a powered tailgate, head-up display, leather interior and power-adjustable mirrors.

There’s equipment here that is rarely seen in anything outside models from the big three German brands, and though a Mazda badge doesn’t quite hold that level of cache, the CX-5 is also not priced quite as highly as a BMW, Mercedes or Audi, either.

Whether you agree with Mazda Australia’s decision to push some models upmarket with higher price points and more equipment, there"s no denying the blend of luxe and value presented in the CX-5.

Diesel is also offered in the CX-5 range, an increasingly rare occurrence as the Toyota RAV4, Ford Escape and Subaru Forester are no long offered with oil-burning options, and in Mazda’s case is a 140kW/450Nm 2.2-litre twin-turbo unit.

Don’t get us wrong, the CX-5 isn’t transformed into a Jeep Wrangler or Toyota LandCruiser because of the new feature, but it certainly helps that Mazda has added extra go-anywhere assurance to its popular model.

Mazda said it has also improved the NVH levels of the new CX-5 thanks to extra sound deadening, but without driving the old car and new one back-to-back, it is a little hard to tell the level of enhancement.

Lane departure warning, lane-keep assist, reversing camera, rear parking sensors, driver attention alert, autonomous emergency braking (AEB) and adaptive cruise control, as well as auto high beams, wipers and headlights, are all included as standard across the entire Mazda CX-5 line-up.

The Mazda CX-5, like all new Mazda Australia vehicles, comes with a five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty, along with a six-year anti-corrosion assurance and five years of roadside assist.

If we had to pick though, we"d go for the AWD 2.5-litre Touring for $40,980, which is loaded with nice creature comforts such as a head-up display and keyless entry for a price that doesn"t break the bank.

For now though, the Mazda CX-5 still has the substance to back up its style, even three years on from the market launch of its latest form, though only just.
