We know that Mazda have been trying to make their models into a premium model and we will be able to see how that will change the upcoming 2017 Mazda CX-5.
The Mazda CX-5 has always been one of the top selling Mazda model so it will be interesting to see what Mazda did to the new model and how it will affect their customers. Going premium could mean a bigger price tag.
It is believed that the Mazda CX-5 will be coming in with a new design that is based on the Mazda CX-9 model. There were also reports suggesting that the design was not the only part of the Mazda CX-9 that the Mazda CX-5 took. We might see the new Mazda CX-5 engine under the hood as well but take that rumor with a huge grain of salt.
If the Mazda CX-5 does go premium, it will be coming in to compete with models like the Volvo XC60 and the Acura RDX.
