Manila, Philippines—Mazda Philippines unveils its latest offerings, the CX-5 2.0L Sport and 2.5L AWD Sport, unifying the motif across its entire CX-5 line-up. These additions join the CX-5 2.5L AWD Turbo, setting new standards in the segment with a blend of style, performance, and craftsmanship tailored for those who live life on their terms.

Steven Tan, President and CEO of Mazda Philippines, emphasized, “As Mazda Philippines’ best-selling model, the CX-5 remains a cornerstone of Mazda engineering. Building on the success of the CX-5 Turbo, renowned for its unmatched dynamics and capability, the refined CX-5 range for 2024 offers functionality and versatility with a heightened sense of individuality.”

Embodying Mazda’s updated KODO design language, first showcased in the 2.5L AWD Turbo, the 2024 CX-5 range exudes dynamism and emotional appeal synonymous with luxury and quality. A new three-dimensional grille and a robust yet elegant signature wing design instill confidence while creating a striking visual impression. The minimalist bumper elements reflect Mazda’s “less is more” Japanese aesthetic, resonating with the design philosophy seen in the Mazda3 and CX-30.

Enhanced headlamp and taillamp designs, equipped with LED technology and Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS), ensure maximum visibility and safety during night drives. The new quad LED daytime running lights and LED rear signature taillamps enhance the vehicle’s sporty stance.

The range features revised alloy wheel designs, with the 2.5L AWD Turbo boasting 19-inch Bright Silver Aluminum Alloy Wheels. Additionally, the 2.5L AWD Turbo’s claddings, painted in body color, create a captivating interplay of light and shadow.

Customers can choose from nine colors to suit their personality, including exclusive options like Rhodium White Premium and Zircon Sand for the 2.5L AWD Turbo.

Continuing Mazda’s Human-Centric approach, the CX-5 range prioritizes comfort and convenience. The redesigned seats maintain the spine’s natural curve, reducing head movement for a stable line of sight. A reinforced body frame and re-tuned suspension minimize vibrations and road noise, ensuring a serene cabin experience.

The interior boasts Black Leather with Orange Stitching on the 2.0L Sport and 2.5L AWD Sport, while the 2.5L AWD Turbo offers Deep Red Nappa Leather seats. All variants feature 10-way power adjustment for the driver and 6-way power adjustment for the front passenger seat, with the 2.5L AWD Turbo featuring standard front seat ventilation.

Seamless smartphone connectivity is guaranteed with the 8-inch Mazda Connect infotainment system, now equipped with wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless device charging, and Android Auto connectivity across the range. A premium 10-speaker Bose sound system and an electric sunroof elevate the cabin experience.

Versatility is key with the 40-20-40 split-folding rear seatbacks and a power liftgate for easy access and loading. A raised cargo level with a dividing floor offers flexible storage options, while a reversible cargo floor simplifies cleaning.

Powering the CX-5 range are Skyactiv-G engines, delivering real-world performance and fuel efficiency. The 2.0L Sport features a 155 PS engine, while the 2.5L AWD Sport and 2.5L AWD Turbo offer 190 PS and 253 PS respectively. All engines are paired with the six-speed Skyactiv-Drive automatic transmission.

The CX-5’s exceptional handling, characterized by Jinba Ittai, is enhanced by G-Vectoring Control Plus, ensuring smooth cornering and vehicle stability. Advanced i-Activ All-Wheel Drive system on select models enhances safety and drivability, providing optimal traction across various surfaces.

Safety remains paramount with standard features like Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, complemented by advanced driver-assist features in the 2.5L AWD Turbo. Together with front and rear parking sensors and a 360-degree camera, the CX-5 ensures a confident driving experience.

Mazda Philippines offers the CX-5 range starting at P 1,950,000 for the CX-5 2.0L Sport, P 2,050,000 for the CX-5 2.5L AWD Sport, and P 2,430,000 for the CX-5 2.5L AWD Turbo.
