The all-new Mazda 5 was developed from the ground up to carry forth this successful tradition with an appealing combination of great exterior styling, superior safety, and interior functionality that exceeds what people expect of a C-MAV. Not only does it have an all-new exterior with an almost sedan-like sporty look and an enhanced driving experience; but also two sliding back doors, a very large rear-door opening, leg room in the 2nd and 3rd rows that is one of the segment’s largest, bigger and more comfortable seats, instruments that are easier to use, and high levels of seat flexibility and functionality.

A new engine joins the updated MZR 1.8 petrol in the powertrain line-up of the all-new Mazda 5. Mazda’s new MZR 2.0 DISI petrol engine with i-stop technology replaces the current 2.0-litre petrol, and delivers double-digit reductions in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Mazda’s new MZR 2.0 DISI petrol produces 110kW/150 PS of maximum power at 6,200 rpm and 191 Nm of maximum torque at 4,500 rpm with a top speed of 194 km/h for plenty of driving fun.

This unique side panel articulation is based on patterns formed when wind blows on water. It integrates the front side bumper area with the sides and backs of the vehicle so that, when combined with the character line at the lower door area, there is a sense of motion even when the vehicle is standing still. The “hidden” D-pillar – formed by covering it with glass – and horizontal rear lamps enhance the integrated flow effect front-to-back, and make the all-new Mazda 5 exterior both unique to the C-MAV segment and unmistakably a Mazda.

New Nagare-flow aluminium/alloy wheel designs (16 and 17-inch) are introduced with twisted spokes, which give them a sporty three-dimensionality that contributes to the flow patterns of the Mazda 5 silhouette. Also available is a 15-inch steel wheel with a full wheel cover.

A new dashboard design is introduced on the inside of the all-new Mazda 5 that makes the front passenger area seem larger than before, and gives the interior high levels of sportiness and style. The driver-cluster hood, for instance, is now pointed and it flows in an arch to form the outer edge of the centre stack for an integrated look of quality. The new instrument cluster now has white illumination, and a large information display is located at the top of the centre stack. The centre stack has a new frameless, open-triangle shape that integrates it into the dashboard, and an all-new audio/control panel design with chrome plating on the knobs. Chrome plating is also new for the gear shift knob, the air-conditioning air vents, and door handles. The meter rings, shift gate panel, door trim and the dial switches on the centre panel are finished in high-quality matte silver.
