Mazda chose the Frankfurt Motor Show to reveal its new mid-size SUV, the CX-5, to the world.

Mazda unveiled its all-new mid-size SUV to the world at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It is the first new-generation Mazda vehicle to include Mazda's breakthrough SKYACTIV technologies and an eye-catching new design direction called 'KODO – Soul of Motion'.

The CX-5 compact SUV features a full set of all-new SKYACTIV technologies such as engines, transmissions and a new chassis and body that further enhance the Mazda fun-to-drive experience together with outstanding environmental and safety performance.

The world premiere of the all-new Mazda CX-5 at Frankfurt begins a new era for the Mazda brand bringing together the full range of unique Mazda-developed SKYACTIV Technologies and the exciting new 'KODO – Soul of Motion' design language.

The CX-5 will be available with both petrol and diesel engines featuring record-breaking compression ratios, which are coupled to the new SKYACTIV-DRIVE six-speed automatic or the new SKYACTIV-MT six-speed manual.

These technologies are combined with a new platform featuring lightweight yet rigid body and chassis structures, aerodynamic efficiency for precise response and a high quality, rewarding ride. And these are matched to outstanding environmental and safety performance. Customers can choose from two- and all-wheel-drive versions.

On the inside, CX-5 has generous boot volume and rear legroom – one of the segment's largest, in fact – high quality feel, superior functionality and low noise levels for a most enjoyable ride. The CX-5 is due for launch in 2012.
