  • 2015 Mazda CX-5 Arrives with Upgrades

    2015 Mazda CX-5 is ready to impress customers with some significant interior and exterior enhancements. The line-up is available in three grades: SE-L, SE-L Lux and Sport Nav. The range includes three 2.0 liter petrol two-wheel drive variants equipped with six-speed manual transmissions, and thirteen 2.2 liter diesel versions – six of which are available with all-wheel drive. They are equipped with a choice of six speed manual or automatic transmissions. The compact SUV delivers uncompromising fuel economy and low CO2 emissions while still demonstrating excellent performance and driving dynamics.

    The conventional stock equipment of every model in the CX-5 range has been improved thanks to the new manual front passenger seat height adjustment, an electronic parking brake, a coming/leaving home headlamp function, and the company’s Multimedia Commander that has separate volume dial for safe, intuitive interactivity and infotainment control.

    Internet connectivity is made easier now due to the new 7-inch, full-color and center console touch-screen that incorporates DAB radio, two ports for USB connectivity and MZD Connect.

    The range-topping Sport Nav models take advantage of new exterior features which are comprised of 19-inch Gunmetal alloy wheels, LED headlamps including LED daytime running lights, and LED foglamps. There is also a new Integrated Navigation system that offers refined accuracy, advanced search features and three years of free map updating.

    Moreover, the already existing Lane Departure Warning system on Mazda CX-5 is built on by Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) with Driver Attention Alert (DAA), thus providing steering wheel vibration and assisted steering if the driver rides off from the middle of the selected lane. Finally, improved Blind-Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert systems (BSMw/RCTA) are also available.

  • Mazda Launches 2015 Mazda6 and 2015 Mazda CX-5

    Two award-winning Mazda models, 2015 Mazda6 and 2015 Mazda CX-5, have got improved and now they come with more powertrain options, more developed technologies and systems, and, finally, a reworked interior.

    On the one hand, the 2015 Mazda6 wagon powered by SKYACTIV-D 2.2 clean diesel engine can be purchased with Mazda’s new-generation all-wheel drive (AWD) system which has been previously used on the CX-5. It includes the world’s first front wheel slip warning detection system and also adopts a specially developed low -viscosity oil, having the goal to increase fuel economy.

    On the other hand the 2015 CX-5 is equipped with SKYACTIV-G 2.5 petrol engine along with i- ELOOP, Mazda’s brake energy regeneration system, and Drive Selection. The latter offers a choice of different drive modes for more responsiveness when required.

    These models are pioneers as they feature the company’s innovative Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH), which represent a high-beam system with four separately controllable blocks of LEDs for each headlamp. ALH includes High Beam Control (HBC) and Adaptive Front-lighting System (AFS). Moreover, it provides with widened low beam coverage and automatic levelling. In order to avoid dazzling other drivers, the system disables the high-beam block shining only in the direction of the opposite vehicle and allows the remaining LEDs to be working for better night-time visibility.

    Other features that are available for the new Mazda models are:

    • Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) which adds Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) that sends alerts to the driver when there is an approaching vehicles while reversing.
    •  Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) that provides steering torque assistance while contributing to the Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS).
    • Driver Attention Alerts (DAA) which scans the driver’s condition and offers a break if it finds a change in behavior.
    •  Smart City Brake Support Forward/Reverse (SCBS F/R) that adds reverse gear functionality to the already existing SCBS system.
    • Smart Brake Support (SBS) and Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC).

    The interior changes are reflected in the ultimately comfortable heads-up cabin and “the new-generation human-machine interface.”
