A great family car needs to be safe, capable, have enough room and come at a good price. The Mazda CX-5 ticks all these boxes, but unfortunately is always left trailing behind its rivals.
Underneath the vehicle’s stunning exterior you will find the new SkyActiv engines. There will be a choose between a diesel version and a gasoling version.The diesel version is powered by a 2.2 liter diesel engine which can offer 163hp and the gasoling version is powered by a 2.0 liter petrol engine which offers 148hp. The engine includes a 14:1 compression ration. You my be wondering what that actually means and Hideaki explains it as meaning that “In the gasoline, the high compression means more torque and better combustion efficiency; in the diesel, lowering the ratio helps cleaner combustion, reduces mechanical loads and the weight of the engine.”
A lot of people say that the think the petrol engine makes too much noise and that the diesel engine runs a lot quiter and is smoother. The car’s emission rate is at 119g/km of C02. The vehicle offers 61.4mpg and is available in two trims, Sport and SE-L.
Some of the Mazda CX-5 Sport’s standard features are electric heated seats, xenon lights, reversing camera, 19 inch alloy and keyless system.
