Spying: 2018 Mazda CX-5 Borrows Some Bits From CX-9

  • Mazda takes some ideas from the CX-9 and puts them into the CX-5

The Mazda CX-5 is now the oldest crossover in their lineup. But Mazda has some big plans for the next-generation model.

 

A spy photographer caught a CX-5 mule filling up at a California gas station. The mule was heavily camouflaged, but we're able to pull some key details about the design. The first is that the CX-5 will be taking some design ideas from the larger CX-9. For example, the front end features narrower headlights and a more pronounced grille surround. The back of the roof also appears to have a sharper slant.

 

We wouldn't be surprised if Mazda brings some premium materials and design to the CX-5's interior, along with more advanced driver assistance systems. One item up in the air is what will power the CX-5? Will they carry over the 2.0 and 2.5L four-cylinder engines? We would expect front-wheel and all-wheel drive to be on offer.

 

Mazda could show the next-generation CX-5 later this year at the LA Auto Show/
