Two new models are in the spotlight today at Mazda’s stand at the Los Angeles Auto Show as the carmaker unveiled the all-new Mazda CX-3, its first small SUV, and presented the fourth-generation Mazda MX-5. Mazda also revealed the 2015 Mazda CX-5 and 2015 Mazda6.
With the Mazda CX-3, the company offers an eye-catching KODO – Soul of Motion design, packaging and equipment tailored to a young, modern clientele, and Mazda’s characteristic fun-to-drive responsiveness and handling. Like its new-generation siblings, the Mazda CX-3 features the full SKYACTIV Technology line-up, including two SKYACTIV-G 2.0 petrol engines and the new SKYACTIV-D 1.5 clean diesel, co upled with six-speed SKYACTIV- Drive or SKYACTIV-MT gearboxes. The new model is offered with front- or all-wheel drive.
The all-new Mazda MX-5 will be available in Europe with specially tuned versions of the SKYACTIV-G 2.0 and SKYACTIV-G 1.5 petrol engines and SKYACTIV manual and automatic transmissions. It has shed more than 100kg relative to the outgoing model.
Mazda is also presenting its 2015 Mazda CX-5, an SUV, and the 2015 Mazda6 flagship. Both award-winning models feature high-quality interior and exterior styling, and a wealth of state-of the-art technology. This includes MZD Connect, Mazda’s smartphone connectivity system, the Active Driving Display, a head-up display, and the latest i-ACTIVSENSE active safety technology, including Adaptive LED Headlights (ALH) – a Mazda first. The 2015 Mazda CX-5 is also offered with the SKYACTIV-G 2.5 in several European markets, while the Mazd a6 is available with an all-wheel drive option.
