Mazda’s value-for-money luxury people-carrier is now at the leading edge of automotive engineering. The new Mazda5 continues the trend of cutting-edge technology for Mazda, started with the worldwide success of the crossover SUV CX-5, followed by the multi award winning Mazda6, and then by its equally impressive smaller bretheren – the Mazda3 – and also the family favourite Biante MPV.
Retaining the fluid and eye-catching “Nagare flow” design of the exterior, and the overall good sense and high practicality of the interior of the previous generation version, the latest Mazda5 is fully equipped with SkyActiv Technology, SkyActiv-G, SkyActiv-Drive and I-Stop.
The Mazda5 is a prominent and popular model in Mazda’s line-up, having earned itself a solid position in the C-MAV (Compact Multi-Activity Vehicle) market, thanks to its superior packaging and the unique functionality, including its flexible seat arrangements, powered sliding rear doors, stylish design, outstanding handling and high level of safety. The new Mazda5 with SkyActiv Technology builds on these assets while benefiting from greater attention to detail in reducing noise, vibration and harshness, as well as delivering superior environmental performance.
The new Mazda5 offers a smart solution to the user’s every need by establishing a balance between diverse functionality and outstanding performance. Wrapped in the stylish and modern body is a truly versatile and spacious interior. The new Mazda5 offers the unique ‘6+One’ packaging concept that earned strong support for the previous model. Versatile ‘+One’ functions include the central walk-through passageway, the hideaway Karakuri seventh seat and Karakuri utility box, and the rich diversity of possible seating arrangements.
This thoroughly modern and people-friendly vehicle delivers the unique Mazda Zoom-Zoom driving experience, now made even more so as it benefits fully from the brand’s much-touted SkyActiv Technology offering re-engineered engines, transmissions, bodies and chassis.
The SkyActiv engine earned the distinction of RJC TECHNOLOGY OF THE YEAR 2012, awarded by the Automotive Researchers’ & Journalists’ Conference of Japan for SkyActiv-G and SkyActiv Drive.
It is also the winner of the 2013 GREEN CAR TECHNOLOGY AWARD, USA – receiving strong green credentials for the revolutionary SkyActiv Technology.
The new Mazda5 is available in 4 colour choices: Aluminium Metallic, Crystal White Pearl Mica, Meteor Grey Mica, and Jet Black Mica. Selling Price is RM153,019 OTR without insurance.
