Mazda has announced UK prices and specification for the all-new Mazda CX-5.

Available in two trim levels, the 10 model range starts at £23,695 and rise to £33,195.

Jeremy Thomson, Mazda Motors UK managing director, said: “The CX-5 will go down as a landmark car in Mazda’s history, not only did it introduce Skyactiv Technology and KODO: Soul of Motion design, it also showcased how Mazda could make an SUV that was stylish, great to drive and capable of luring customers from premium badged rivals.

“And today the all-new Mazda CX-5 takes this to the next stage, elevating exterior design, cabin quality and refinement to new levels of sophistication, whilst at the same time ensuring Mazda’s love of driving is even more apparent in the handling.

“When it arrives in UK dealerships this summer I’m sure the all-new Mazda CX-5 will carry on winning over British SUV buyers, especially as increased equipment levels and superb residual values mean it continues to represent great value for retail and fleet customers alike.”

Standard equipment in all models includes LED headlights, auto power-folding door mirrors, dual-zone climate control, DAB radio and a seven inch colour touch-screen display with Mazda’s integrated navigation.

Sport Nav cars add a reversing camera, eight-way power adjustable driver’s seat and Smart keyless entry, plus heated front seats and steering wheel.

Offered in a Mazda for the first time, Sport Nav models also feature a power lift tailgate, plus a new head-up display (HUD) that projects directly onto the windscreen and features Traffic Sign Recognition.

Both Mazda’s Skyactiv-MT six-speed manual and Skyactiv-Drive six-speed automatic transmissions feature in the range, as does the latest generation of Mazda’s intelligent i-ACTIV all-wheel drive (AWD) system. 

The 2.0-litre 165ps Skyactiv-G petrol engine is available in SE-L Nav and Sport Nav trim and is offered with front-wheel drive and Mazda’s six-speed Skyactiv-MT manual gearbox. 

Making up the bulk of the range, the 2.2-litre 150ps Skyactiv-D diesel is available with front-wheel drive and AWD transmissions, plus comes with a choice of Skyactiv-MT or Drive gearbox.

At the top of the range, the flagship 2.2-litre 175ps Skyactiv-D comes exclusively in Sport Nav trim and is equipped with Mazda’s i-ACTIV AWD, and like the lower output diesel, it can be matched to either automatic or manual transmission. 

The 2017 CX-5 has an all-new interior and a fully-revised body structure

Global sales of over 1.5 million mean it now accounts for roughly 25%t of Mazda’s global sales volume with more than 32,000 current-generation CX-5s having been sold in the UK.
