What were the people who built your car thinking?

Are they just another behemoth carmaker following the rules?

Or do they break them?

Do they push the boundaries of tradition and habit

to achieve the unachieved?

Are they insightful craftsmen,

obsessing over the details with a crazed passion?

Building less—building better—

for a discerning few?

Are you one of the few

who cares about what you drive,

how it drives

and the way it makes you feel?

We’re with you.

Because we believe if it’s not worth driving,

it’s not worth building.

We build Mazdas.

What do you drive?

An automotive revolution. Born from a blank slate.

When we decided to create the Mazda CX-5, we knew we had to start from scratch. We wanted a crossover that was not only

incredibly versatile, spacious and packed with technology, but also fuel-efficient without sacrificing exceptional driving feel.

®

To make that a reality, we had to come up with a whole new engineering philosophy: SKYACTIV

the course of ten years, all of the components of SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY were engineered at the same time so that they

work together seamlessly and efficiently. It is the reason why, as you keep up with your busy day, you’re enjoying the best

highway MPG of any SUV—including hybrids*—while enjoying the best drive as well. Why did we go to such painstaking lengths?

Because we’re Mazda.

What you want. What you need. Together at last.

In the past, if you wanted a vehicle that could adapt to your changing life, you had to give up on driving excitement. If you wanted

more versatility and fuel efficiency, performance was going to get left behind. Not anymore. Thanks to the Mazda CX-5, you’ve got

it all. The CX-5 is our declaration that a stylish 5-seater with generous space, smart technologies and the best highway MPG of any

SUV* doesn’t have to come at the expense of driving feel. More than a crossover SUV, the CX-5 is a call to drivers to experience all

the capability you need, without sacrificing the control you want.

Sips gas like a miser. Moves you like a Mazda.

When we imagined the CX-5, we knew it had to deliver superb utility and top-notch fuel economy. But there was no way we would

sacrifice Mazda’s signature driving pedigree. That’s why we crafted systems to work together toward those two goals. The CX-5 Sport

“SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY is a whole new, more efficient way of engineering cars. Really... .”

How did we achieve the elusive feat of fuel efficiency, low emissions and outstanding driving performance living together in the same

vehicle? By refusing to compromise. And that meant starting from scratch and reimagining what’s possible. The CX-5 is the first

Mazda to feature the entire suite of SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY—systems developed from the ground up at the same time to make sure

each component was not only pushed to its full potential, but also worked together seamlessly to create incredible fuel efficiency

without sacrificing driving enjoyment. Here’s a “look behind the curtain” to see how we did it.

SKYACT IV -G

By 2020, 90% of the world will still be using gasoline or diesel

combustion engines. So how do we reduce emissions and

increase fuel efficiency on a grand scale? By reimagining the

internal combustion engine. Current engines waste upwards of

70% of their energy potential, so we saw this as an enormous

opportunity: create an engine that works better, uses less fuel

and emits less CO2. Our SKYACTIV-G 2.0-liter engine produces

10% to 15% more low/mid-range torque, yet 15% lower fuel

consumption and emissions than our previous 2.0-liter engine.

And now entering the lineup, the SKYACTIV-G 2.5L engine in

the Touring and Grand Touring models promises more power

with ultra-low emissions, and lower fuel consumption as well.

SKYACTIV- B o d y

We are constantly searching for new ways to help make

you safer behind the wheel. That’s why Mazda is the first

auto manufacturer to use ultra-high tensile steel in the body.

ultra-high tensile and high tensile steel in critical areas, the

CX-5’s body is lighter than normal, yet it’s stiffer and stronger.

SKYACTIV-Drive

Our engineers created a new kind of precise, high-performance

automatic transmission that combines the direct, responsive

feel of a manual transmission with the silky smoothness of

an automatic. It’s instantly responsive, yet delivers 7% more

efficiency than our previous automatic transmission.

SKYACT IV -MT

This six-speed manual transmission has a short, responsive

throw that offers incredible connectivity for the driver.

Inspired by the legendary MX-5 Miata, it’s also smaller,

lighter and stronger than any we’ve built before.

SKYACTIV-Chassis

Engineered together with the SKYACTIV-Body to work in

perfect harmony, the steering and suspension systems achieve

two seemingly contradictory goals at once: to be nimble at low

speeds, yet stable at high speeds. We also engineered them to

be light, allowing for a more direct and agile feel.
