Mazda Motor Corporation will hold the world premiere of the all-new Mazda CX-5 compact crossover SUV at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show (September 13 through 25, 2011). And we’ll have full coverage of the event, as it happens.

The CX-5 is the first of a new-generation of Mazda products that will adopt the full-range of Mazda’s breakthrough SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY and new design theme, ‘KODO - Soul of Motion’, or whatever that means.

The Mazda CX-5 will be progressively introduced to global markets from early 2012. It has been developed around the full-range of SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY, including all-new Mazda petrol and diesel engines, manual and automatic transmissions, body and chassis.

The engine lineup for the European specification CX-5 will include Mazda’s SKYACTIV-G 2.0-litre petrol engine and SKYACTIV-D 2.2 diesel engine available in Standard Power and High Power versions. Mazda focused on achieving exceptional environmental performance for a compact SUV and targeted CO2 emissions of less than 120g/km for the SKYACTIV-D 2.2 engine model.

The CX-5 is also the first production model to showcase Mazda’s new design theme, ‘KODO – Soul of Motion’, which was previewed with the Mazda SHINARI and Mazda MINAGI concept cars. Unique themes of KODO design include a prominent new front-end with a bolder family face and dynamic styling.

Joining the CX-5 on Mazda’s stand at the Frankfurt show will be the facelifted Mazda3. It delivers lower CO2 emissions, more sporty and stable driving dynamics, updated interior and exterior design, and higher quality levels.
