The All-New 2017 Mazda CX-5 Compact Crossover, Packed With Comfort and Safety Features
Particularly when compared to other vehicles in the same class and category, Mazda vehicles have long had the reputation of being a driver’s car. The concept utilised in planning all-new CX-5 was “A Crossover all customers will enjoy,” delivered on by providing driving pleasure that everyone on board can enjoy, and not just the driver. In addition to driving enjoyment, Mazda stylists have created a stunning design for the 2017 Mazda CX-5 Compact Crossover based on KODO Design concepts.
The 2017 Mazda CX-5 Compact Crossover SUV features hundreds of improvements engineered in line that deliver responsive performance. It also prioritises passenger comfort, with a quiet cabin and a comfortable ride, and is the first vehicle to feature SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS technologies.

The result is steering that more precise, with reduced interior noise, and a more comfortable ride.
