The newly renovated Mazda CX-5 has already entered our test bench. Highway Technical Center is already extracting data and conclusions engine SKYACTIV-D 2.2 Diesel 175 with manual transmission.

One of the bets Mazda in 2017 is the "restyling" from his compact SUV, CX-5. Technical Center Highway we have been working with version SKYACTIV-D 2.2 diesel 175.

Mazda hit the spot with his CX-5 It is no secret, just be a little careful on our roads to see that at least in our market is well accepted. A cool design, a very competitive price, SKYACTIV technology spearhead and outstanding dynamic level are the hallmarks of updating this SUV.

Our unit CX-5, with the Diesel engine 175 hp, the AWD Yeye, manual transmission! (I say nope !, because it is becoming more common automatic change in the higher range versions). This variant has seemed most satisfying: The engine drives like no other Diesel, say “normal” without getting into racing acronyms, exceeds 5,000 rpm when trying to extract maximum performance from it. Without the thrust decay actually performing our test facilities and test after changing before the scheme or exceeding it, the best results were obtained changing to 5,100 rpm (almost nothing for the times). Under this, a fairly significant performance data: the CX-5 is capable of accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 8.17 seconds.

CX-5 2.2 Skyactiv-D: weight and fuel

2.2 D engine located fairly low, a rear axle that helps more than you know and manual transmission with short intuitive paths do not you think that despite the 1,710 Kg, they say our scales. Only the inevitable inertia, although attenuated by a good set of suspensions, put your feet on the ground a little SUV driver lover but can recognize the effort put into an increasingly demanded product.
