The Mazda CX-5 2012 small crossover make it debut at the Frankfurt auto show in September. Like the Mazda bed-ridden from the Geneva Motor Show, the CX-5 offers the Skyactiv technology.
While their models to improve the fuel economy add the most car companies in hybrid technology, Mazda takes a different stroke with its SkyActiv program. The bedridden crossover concept shown at the Geneva show combined car this year SkyActiv, shown in the preview first advanced motors and gearboxes with lighter weight materials to reduce fuel consumption and at the same time performance, and cost to minimize. 2012 CX-5, set car to debut at the Frankfurt Show in September, be a production version of the bedridden and the first production, built in the SkyActiv plan Mazda.
The US market will have a choice of engines: a SKYACTIV-G 2.0 l direct injection four cylinder with a high compression ratio 14: 1. specifications for the engine still not been released, but the new engine is expected to fuel to regular class and offer a 15%-Schub for both fuel consumption and makes figures on the current two litres. Power pay should match at least the Europe-only SKYACTIV-D diesel engine 173 HP. High performance versions of the two machines will be available later, though it's not clear whether they are in the CX-5 available.
The module will be combined a traditional six speed automatic transmission with the new SKYACTIV-drive transmission, can lock the converter in no devices. Mazda has announced only a version with the CX-5, front wheel, although an all-wheel-drive model in the future can be added. There is a small chance that the SKYACTIV-MT are available six-speed manual available. Although it expected large increase is not to fuel consumption, less than the outgoing model it weigh 16%.Mazda sets the naming issue with the SKYACTIV body. This is a trade-off between monocoque frame and space frames, paste directly the middle frame with upper body and components to create a single structure. Members frame effects remain parts between each level of the frame tree crashes force as straight as possible, while front. Together, this reduces the total amount of material and at the same time safety and rigidity. The total weight of the frame by around 20% of comparable models should be reduced along with the widespread use of high-strength steel.
What is this vehicle for Mazda? At end of 2008, Mazda, who bought most of the shares owned by Ford Motor Company, effectively a business relationship lines back to sales of the Mazda built Ford courier back finished in 1971. Mazda Tribute and its platform-mate, Ford escape, ending production in the year 2011 and the Mazda 2 and Ford Fiesta as the last vehicles which developed jointly by the two companies. While the flight was a great success for Ford, sales remained sluggish for the Mazda.
The CX-5 fills the tribute slot in preparation of the company. It is the company's new "Kodo" design language that eventually uses on all of the manufacturer there are cars, a better fit than its predecessor boxy use. Fuel consumption should be better than has any current non-hybrid competitor, and undivided focus on Mazda's buyer means that it should avoid SUV toughness for driving dynamics, the company that built its reputation.
Production of the CX-5 is expected to start end of this year.
