In mid-2020 Mazda presented a slight renewal of the CX-5, the SUV launched in 2017 . With its 4.55 meters long and 477 liters of luggage compartment capacity, it is the most familiar and balanced option of the firm’s crossover range, which barely managed to commercialize units of the CX-9. This facelift, imperceptible to the eye, has focused on improving the technological section to make driving more efficient and the relationship with the infotainment system more intuitive. The quality-price ratio is the great asset of this new CX-5 that combines, without hesitation, good equipment, sophisticated design and very correct motorization. 2021 begins and Mazda starts marketing this model with the launch of a special edition: the Mazda CX-5 Homura .
This version is characterized by its distinctive design, which tries to appear more elegant and mature both on the outside and on the inside. The specifications of this finish are obvious in the images that the firm has granted us, starting with the 19-inch alloy wheels in glossy black . Its multi-spoke design is reminiscent of the tip of an arrow, with the doses of modernity and industrialization that have worked so hard at Mazda since its inception as an automotive manufacturer. As we tell you in this article, the Japanese firm tries to create cars where tradition and innovation coexist with philosophies such as the Jinba Ittai. The mirrors have the same dark tone, something that emphasizes the sporty and dynamic character of a minimalist and sensual body.
In the interior, attention to detail has been specially worked, using top quality materials but responsible with the environment. That is why we talk about upholstery in imitation leather and synthetic leather back, finished with red stitching as every racing lover likes. Another plus of this edition is the technological equipment, which would be the top of the range offered in this new CX-5 and which has solutions such as the Head-Up Display, 7-inch digital instrumentation, 10.25-inch central screen with MZD Connect and compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto , 360 degree vision monitor and much more. Nor is it far behind in terms of ADAS systems (driving aid and safety), among which we find: blind spot control, fatigue detector, emergency braking, adaptive cruise control and collision signal, among others. The starting price of the Mazda CX-5 Homura edition is 34,400 euros.
The new CX-5
Mazda’s obsession is to achieve a unique connection between man and machine, what they call Jinba Ittai. To do this, they have worked on the efficiency of the engines. For example, the 2.0-liter 165 hp petrol now features cylinder deactivation technology and the 184 hp Skyactiv-D 2.2 diesel is available with front-wheel drive . To improve the driving experience they have retouched the soundproofing of the passenger compartment and reduced the vibrations of the steering wheel by putting a plastic element in the airbag module.
In addition, the Mazda CX-5 2021 have expanded the connectivity solutions available from your smartphone through MyMazda. Now it is possible to remotely lock the car, search for it, program navigation, update it electronically and request visits at the dealership, among other things. The starting price for the most economical CX-5 , with a 165 hp gasoline engine, Origin finish and front-wheel drive, is 27,300 euros .
