UK pricing and specification details for the new Mazda CX-5 mid-size SUV have been announced. The car will go on sale in Britain from 30th June this year and will feature a ten- model line-up.
The new CX-5, which features an updated exterior, more spacious interior and an updated infotainment system, starts pricing at £23,695. The starting specification is the SE-L Nav model with a 163bhp 2.0-litre SKYACTIV-G petrol engine. This petrol engine is also available with the Sport Nav trim, where the starting price increases to £26,695.
All other models in the CX-5 range from launch use the 2.2-litre SKYACTIV-D diesel engine which offers 148bhp. A 2.5-litre petrol engine was also confirmed for the new CX-5 last year, but this unit is not expected to come to the UK market.
When using the 2.2-litre diesel the CX-5 is priced from £25,695 in the SE-L Nav trim, increasing to £27,195 if you swap the standard six-speed manual gearbox for a six-speed automatic ‘box.
The diesel SE-L Nav can also swap the standard front-wheel drive powertrain for all-wheel drive, putting the starting price at £27,695.
Standard equipment for the SE-L Nav version of the CX-5 includes 17-inch alloy wheels, rear privacy glass, front and rear parking sensors, dual-zone climate control, cruise control and Bluetooth. There’s also a new infotainment system with a seven-inch touchscreen which controls functions including the integrated sat-nav.
The Sport Nav trim version of the CX-5 starts at £28,695, or from £31,395 with all-wheel drive included. Standard kit for the Sport Nav trim includes 19-inch alloy wheels, a reversing camera, power lift tailgate, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel.
