The Mazda CX-5 It is an extremely important model for the Japanese brand. You just have to remember that it is its best-selling model worldwide and although there was much speculation about its future after the arrival of CX-50, the brand has finally announced that the CX-5 will finally have a new generation, although it will not arrive soon.
Alastair Doak, Marketing Director of Mazda in Australiastated in an interview for our Drive colleagues: “Senior management has confirmed that there will be a next-generation CX-5, which is yet to come. It’s a top-selling model at the level, so it makes sense.”
“Eventually a new generation car will arrive, but it’s not next year.”Doak warned. That is to say, the new generation of the CX-5 will not be presented in 2024. The second generation made its international debut in 2017, so its generational replacement should be close. Well this, considering the commercial life of a car that is approximately 6 years.
But according to the statements of the Doak, we have to Mazda The development of the new CX-5 will be taken easy, stretching the commercial life of the current and second generation by a couple of years. With this, the brand is in danger of being relegated to the competition, since it is immersed in a very dynamic segment, full of novelties. But the truth is that Mazda knows very well how to cope with the passage of time.
The last update of the CX-5 arrived in 2023, where it released more equipment and technology. So it would not be strange that, in order to give more oxygen to its compact SUV, Mazda prepares another light facelift, which will surely focus on these sections again.
Surely, the new generation of the CX-5 will arrive loaded with surprises and with a greater focus on sustainable mobility, without losing that sporty touch that characterizes the brand so much.
