More than ten years ago Mazda introduced its Kodo design language, which has come to this date by evolving a mantra based on the soul of material things. This unique design gives it a personality of its own, which has been formed by overcoming challenges that no other manufacturer has faced. An example of this is the brutal impact generated by the Hiroshima bomb, the town in which its production was located and which had to turn the page at breakneck speed . They call this spirit of improvement Mukainada and it has served them to go further in proposing mechanical, aesthetic and technological concepts. That essence continues to be felt in today’s launches, like the Mazda CX-5 coming in 2022.
We are not talking about novelties as risky as the rotating block, which led them to win the laurel in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This is a slight update in which we see aesthetic changes to the front, with a 3D hatched grille with depth and details that emphasize its premium character, such as the chrome wings that follow up to the light clusters. Some headlights that will have adaptive LED technology, which does not dazzle other road users. A tiny part of all the systems that this new CX-5 has, the only average SUV to pass, with a note, the latest tests of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in the United States, now more restrictive and with a test of side impact.
This extra safety is achieved thanks to the presence of cameras and radars that can detect potential dangers to avoid collisions and, if they are not capable, reduce the severity of accidents. The latest ADAS to be added to i-Activsense is the Traffic and Cruise Hold-Off Assist , which reduces driver fatigue by relaxing the force on the steering wheel and brake pedal.
A launch that comes just after, a few weeks ago, the firm informed us of the launch of the CX-50 in 2023 . This more sporty and adventurous model will be launched with a specific design in the United States. We talk more about the CX-5, which will arrive in Europe.
