New compact crossover Mazda CX 5 first shown in 2011. It was Mazda's first vehicle to feature the new Kodo design corporate identity and Skyactiv technology on the exterior. This technology involves reducing the weight of the car, reducing fuel consumption, while increasing the power and efficiency of power units.

Fall 2012 assembly Mazda CX 5 started in Russia at a plant in Vladivostok. For other markets, the crossover is assembled in Japan. In addition to the CX 5, the Mazda 6 sedan is also assembled in Russia.

Crossover CX 5 in our country received a pair of gasoline (Skyactiv-G 2 and 2.5 liters) and one diesel engine (Skyactiv-D 2.2 liters). These are quite powerful units, so gasoline units produce 150 and 192 horsepower. But a diesel engine with a turbocharger produces 175 hp. with huge torque.

Concerning drive Mazda CX 5, then in the domestic market they offer both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive 4x4 models. Off-road versions have an electromagnetic clutch that, when locked, transfers part of the torque to the rear axle.

Gearbox crossover Mazda CX 5, this is a 6-speed automatic, or a 6-speed manual in combination with front-wheel drive and a 2-liter engine. Mechanical transmission with other power units is not provided.

The exterior of the Japanese crossover was developed by designer Masashi Nakayama. A large radiator grille, muscular lines of the body, the original shape of the headlights, all these elements in one form or another appeared on the Mazda 6, and later on the Mazda3. Further we offer pictures of Mazda CX 5.

Salon Mazda CX 5 turned out to be very ergonomic. The seats have good lateral support, the steering wheel and gearshift lever are finished in leather. The front panel in the central part has a color touch screen. The “krutilki” of climate control in the cabin and the stereo system are pucks that are pleasant to the touch. The stereo control is located both on the steering wheel and on the center console, which is very convenient. See photos of the salon below.

Specifications Mazda CX 5

Description Specifications Mazda CX 5 Perhaps we will start with the parameters of the engines. So, the base engine with a working volume of 2 liters is a gasoline 4-cylinder 16-valve engine with a capacity of 150 hp. The maximum power of 110 kW is reached at 6000 rpm. Torque at 4000 rpm is 210 Nm. This power is enough to accelerate the crossover to 100 km / h in 9.3 seconds. At the same time, fuel consumption is very moderate, so in mixed mode the car consumes 6.2 liters of 95th gasoline. The maximum speed with this power unit is 197 km / h.

The next most powerful gasoline engine is the CX 5, a top-end 2.5-liter unit that produces 192 hp (141 kW) at 5700 rpm. The maximum torque is 256 Nm at 4000 rpm. Acceleration to hundreds with such an engine takes only 7.9 seconds, and the average fuel consumption is already 7.3 liters.

Diesel engine Mazda CX 5 displacement of 2.2 liters due to turbocharging produces 175 hp (129 kW) at 4500 rpm. The maximum torque, which is very important off-road, is 420 Nm already at 2000 rpm. Acceleration to hundreds with such a unit takes 9.4 seconds. At the same time, diesel is also the most economical, since the average consumption is only 5.9 liters, and in the city the consumption of diesel fuel is about 7 liters.

Concerning Mazda CX 5 transmissions, then, as we have already noted, a 6-band automatic transmission acts as a gearbox in almost all versions. But the 6-speed manual can only be seen with front-wheel drive and a 150 hp engine. By the way, it is with this engine that front-wheel drive is possible, with more powerful gasoline (192 hp) and turbo diesel (175 hp) only 4x4 all-wheel drive is offered.

History of the Mazda brand / Mazda

In 1920, Zujiro Matsuda buys the bankrupt cork wood company Abemaki and organizes Toyo Cork Kogyo, which is the founder of Mazda Corporation. In 1927, the company changed its name to Toyo Kogyo Ltd and started manufacturing motorcycles and industrial machines. In 1930, one of the company's motorcycle models won racing competitions, which fueled public interest in the manufactured equipment. A year later, the company was renamed Mazda, the same name as the Zoroastrian god of wisdom. In 1931, small three-wheeled trucks roll off the assembly line, which were more like tricycles. In 1960, the first passenger car R360 Coupe with a two-cylinder engine is developed, which does not have special comfort, but is affordable. Three years later, more comfortable Mazda Familia 800/1000 cars with a 4-cylinder engine appear.

In 1963, the millionth Mazda rolled off the assembly line. In 1966, the world public got acquainted with the Mazda Cosmo Sports 110 S, which had a rotary piston engine designed by Felix Wankel. Starting with this car, the company began to gradually conquer the European market. In 1970, the Mazda Capella RX-2 model appears and the export of Mazda cars to the United States begins. In 1972, the 5 millionth car rolled off the assembly line and the comfortable Mazda Luce RX-4 was born. In 1978, the sports model Mazda Savanna RX-7 was produced, the rotary piston engine of which accelerated the car to 200 km / h.

In 1979, Mazda merged with Ford Motor Company, the latter acquiring a 25% stake in Mazda. The Mazda Bongo family of commercial vehicles was the first joint model between the two companies. In 1981, the Mazda Cosmo/Luce is born. The following year, the Mazda Capella 4WD was named Japanese Car of the Year. In 1991, for the first time in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race, a car with a rotary piston engine wins. It was a Mazda 787B racing car. In 2002, the company introduced the first generation Mazda 6. The Mazda brand in the Russian Federation is one of the most popular. In 2011, the Japanese company signs an agreement with the Russian Ministry of Economic Development on the start of local assembly of its cars at the Sollers plant in Primorsky Krai (Vladivostok). In February 2016, the 90,000th Mazda car for the Russian market rolled off the production line.

Japanese concerns have become the basis of competition in the global car market in passable classes of SUVs and various types of crossovers. Mazda plays a special role in this list of manufacturers, which periodically becomes one of the most popular brands in Russia. In a historical perspective, the concern produced true jeeps and city SUVs, SUVs and stylish small cars with off-road capability. Any Mazda Jeep is a true work of automotive art.

The current model range of the company does not contain real jeeps due to the toughest competition in the segment. But SUVs and compact SUVs companies are quite competitive and are sold almost all over the world at a fairly enviable rate. Good photos of the new design of cars, good customer reviews and great prices for all new items - these are the main advantages of the concern.

Mazda Tribute 2007 model year - a real SUV

If you are interested in a true SUV from Mazda, the Tribute is the only option. There are two generations that were the pearl of the corporation's lineup. And if the first version of the jeep was a classic representative of the world of SUVs, then the second generation in 2007 received a wonderful design and such technical features:

• very powerful engines, modified from the first generation;
• excellent performance of all peripheral parts of the transport;
• successful all-wheel drive design, high cross-country ability;
• perfectly implemented machine control, masculine mood;
• body structure that took safety to a new level.

The cool jeep was practically not sold in Russia due to weak supplies. But in the secondary market you can find offers at a reasonable price. Mazda Tribute is available for buyers for 500-600 thousand, and representatives of the first generation can be bought even cheaper.

Mazda CX-5 - an alternative SUV in a new style

The new generation CX-5 in the current model range of Mazda Corporation has become a revolution in the design of the corporation. This is a stylish, practical and very modern car with a lot of technical and visual advantages. The modern and updated CX-5 represents the best that the company has managed to create in recent years. It is on the basis of the design of this compact SUV that the entire model range of the concern is built.

Great photos of a small jeep made many potential buyers pay special attention to the car. A detailed study of the technical characteristics and, most importantly, prices for an updated car complements the confidence in the purchase. 1.2 million rubles is a good start for a car from Mazda.

Mazda CX-3 - a successful compact crossover from the Japanese

This Mazda crossover is just getting started in a very competitive market. The machine has become popular, not yet appearing in Russia. A lot of information, great style, successful execution and excellent reviews from experts and journalists became the basis for promoting the compact jeep. The main features of the Mazda crossover are as follows:

• an unforgettable style that exceeded all customer expectations;
• the proposed line of SkyActive engines with a proprietary turbine spurs interest;
• configurations will include budget and premium versions of cars;
• "SUV" will not receive special functions for overcoming off-road, but for the city it will be ideal.

You can criticize Mazda for the fact that the company has significantly reduced the potential of the base technology, but the prices for Mazda crossovers have become more affordable. If you want a productive jeep, buy the maximum configuration - such a car will definitely pleasantly surprise you with its technical features. The preliminary cost is from 850,000 rubles.

Mazda CX-7 is a great car for a pretentious trip

Even the older generations of the CX-7 leave only positive impressions of the Mazda crossover. This SUV is not so compact, it gives the impression of a completely powerful and amazing nature. But in fact, the current generation of CX-7 is not so powerful. The manufacturer offers many modern solutions, but also does not forget about the economy of transport.

The compact jeep will receive a lot of new products in the new generation, but so far the company has not talked too much about the future generation. While you can buy a car in the secondary market, where it costs quite adequate money. In good condition and not too ancient year of manufacture, you can buy a Mazda CX-7 crossover from 500-600 thousand rubles.

Summing up

Do you need a great SUV? Look at Mazda's offerings. In the performance of this corporation, you will practically not find a passable jeep, but you can pick up everyone a wonderful solution for the city. Today's model range of the corporation offers many interesting solutions. Driving a Mazda crossover is a pleasure and makes the world around you brighter.

A high level of comfort and amazing handling and sporty response make these cars a favorite choice for young people and people with an active lifestyle. However, a Mazda crossover can also be a bad purchase if you don’t want to buy expensive consumables and repair cars at an excellent service. In this case, the car will bring a lot of expenses and will not be so reliable.

To begin with, we traditionally present general information about Mazda crossovers. As you know, until 2000, the company produced light sports cars. But the fashion for crossovers dictated its own conditions. As a result, it was decided to create a car with increased cross-country ability. And even better, it should compete with the rest of the world's manufacturers.

I must say that hardworking engineers and designers have successfully coped with this task. Crossovers rolled off the assembly line with decent off-road capabilities and inherited the dynamics of sports sedans.

Crossover Mazda CX 5

The Europeans praise the CX 5 crossover for its design, the Americans for its vaunted Japanese quality, and the Russians fell in love with it for its behavior, equally confident both on the city track and off-road. For a million rubles, the owner of the CX 5 can get a car with a “stock” Drive package, which includes an impeccable safe braking system, dynamic stabilization, as well as a full set of airbags and traction control.

The angular lines of the front end with a sporty grille and a dynamic Mazda wing reflect the design philosophy "KODO - the soul of movement".

The designers of this crossover drew inspiration from the fluid movements of the cheetah, creating a striking image that combines energy and agility.

Thanks to the aerodynamic design of the body and its raised rear end, the car resembles a cheetah that has leaned forward and is preparing to attack. This car combines style with function, and the shape of the body provides an excellent field of vision for the driver.

Crossover Mazda X-7

Mazda CX-7 is another crossover in the Mazda lineup. A model with all-wheel drive and a 2.3-liter engine was presented on the Russian car market. The car has a bright, individual style. Working on this model, the developers managed to combine the best qualities of sports crossovers and station wagons in it. Off-road qualities were highly appreciated by the Russians, but a harsh verdict was issued with the car - a Russian car enthusiast cannot afford such a Mazda. As a result, the Mazda CX-7 became history. In 2012, the company announced the removal of this crossover from production. In press releases, it was reported that the management does not consider it appropriate to release this model against the backdrop of low sales.

Crossover Mazda CX-9

Mazda's largest SUV lineup is the CX-9. Against the background of rivals in the class, he is not, though not an excellent student, but a solid “good student”.

In the crossover segment, the competition is pretty tough. In order not to become an outsider in the global car market, an updated or restyled SUV must have such qualities that will favorably distinguish it from its classmates. In this sense, you can not worry about the CX-9, if only because the design solution for the car was chosen very well. But let's see what his classmates can win or, conversely, lose.

The white backlit main dials are easy to read and support the overall dynamic style of the interior.

Leather seat upholstery with perforations in the center sections creates a high-quality feel. For the first time, suede and stitching with dark red thread were used in the decoration of doors and seats.

Every inch of the Mazda CX-9 has been designed with practicality in mind. Throughout the cabin there are many convenient storage compartments.

The gear lever fits comfortably in the hand.

Just like the Mazda CX-9, the Hyundai Pilot is equipped with a gasoline engine, all-wheel drive and an automatic transmission. The dashboard "pilot" and ergonomics are in no way inferior to the CX-9. Both cars have comfortable driver's seats. But the Mazda CX-9 also has side bolsters for added comfort.

The main disadvantage of the Honda Pilot is that the automatic transmission does not work perfectly. She switches jerkily, slowly. There is no manual mode. The owner of a Mazda will not face such problems. The Pilot differs not for the better in terms of braking.

When making sharp turns, the car rolls strongly, the steering wheel seems to resist. Another disadvantage is poor soundproofing. However, in the Mazda CX-9, it also leaves much to be desired.

Hyundai Grand Santa Fe. Compared to this model, the interior of the Mazda CX-9 looks less modern. It is not surprising. After all, Santa relatively recently appeared on the world market.

The interior of the car is very modern, high-quality finish, a lot of decorative elements. But the Mazda 9 in this regard does not look poor. Expensive materials were used for interior decoration. The third row of seats is more spacious, while in a classmate it looks more like a “poor man's gallery”.

Traveling in the Santa Fe in the third row will not please any adult. However, manufacturers themselves are well aware of this shortcoming, so a cunning marketing move was made - the third row was called "children's". Judging by the strong position this car occupies in the Russian market, many are led to this trick.

Inferior to Santa Fe in terms of suspension. Mazda has a smoother ride, higher stability. Its ground clearance is 20 mm more than that of the Korean, but the off-road qualities are almost the same. Both behave confidently on the road.

Toyota Rav4. This is not only the closest classmate of the Mazda CX-9 in terms of geography, but also the founder of the SUV class as such. Although the design looks more conservative compared to the rest.

The CX-9 loses to its "countryman" and classmate in the absence of the possibility of equipping all-wheel drive with "mechanics". Otherwise, both crossovers have almost equivalent characteristics.

Ford Explorer.

The dashboard of an American is distinguished by high quality materials, an abundance of electronics. The last feature can hardly be called an advantage due to some goofy elements. Why, for example, does a Russian car owner need an additional scale in miles?

Due to the huge front pillars, visibility has suffered. But the interior of the explorer is wider than that of the CX-9 and there is more equipment to choose from. Mazda 9 has only one, though there is a package of additional options, but compared to the American it is still not enough.

The Ford Explorer has three trim levels: XLT, Limited, Sport.

Volkswagen Tiguan

The German classmate has a not so bright design, low prices for the initial configuration (899,000) more than compensate for this shortcoming. Tiguan, even with the most powerful diesel version, will cost less than the CX-9 in the maximum configuration - only 1,310,000 rubles.

The superiority of the Volkswagen Tiguan in the off-road class is hard to dispute, as it provides a rich set of electronic assistance systems in off-road conditions.

We went - we know

Before buying a Mazda 9, I had to study reviews about the car for a long time, read kilometers of articles. With such a picky client, it was not easy for the dealership consultants. Only after a test drive it became clear that the car fully meets the requirements and expectations. First impressions of the purchase were as follows.

Fears about poor sound insulation did not materialize. The cabin is quiet, like on board the liner. Ergonomics at the highest level. The driver's seat and steering column are electronically adjustable. Passengers were also happy. Thanks to the spacious interior and comfortable seats, seven people in the car feel very comfortable. An experiment with the wife's relatives, who, not without persuasion, managed to sit on the notorious third row, showed that this place can also be as convenient as possible. To do this, it is enough to adjust the inclination of the backrests of the second row seats. Passengers in the second row will still be in a more privileged position. They have their own climate system, while the wife's relatives and other unwanted passengers have to be content with warm air deflectors in their legs.

Mazda 9 behaves confidently on asphalt, primer, but not in off-road conditions. Length dimensions (5.1 m) do not allow it to overcome difficult terrain. In the future, other disadvantages were discovered, but they were not so critical.

So, after an accident, it turned out that the hardware of the CX-9 is thin, capricious. Because of this, straightening the wing seemed a difficult task, but doable if you turn to real specialists, and not novice painters.

Remembering the predecessor, it was nice to note that the restyled version had a lot of good changes: good navigation, a clear rear-view camera, more pleasant instrument panel lighting, stylish “eyes” in the headlights, running lights with LEDs. But the music sounds a little worse. The glasses box was replaced by voice control microphones. A suitable place for this important accessory was never found. Only chest pocket. The microphone block creaks, a solution to this problem has not yet been found on its own.

Compared to the "old" Mazda CX-9, the restyled one consumes less fuel, almost two liters. That's what life-giving Euro 5 norms do!

It was possible to evaluate the dynamics only after the first ten thousand kilometers. Rating - 4+ or 5-. In terms of handling, this crossover is no different from a passenger car. Many new ones have been added to the previous ones.

Ride, comfortable fit, roomy trunk, design and fuel consumption are worthy of all praise. Now it is clear why cars of this version flooded the roads in the United States. The spoiled American buyer votes for this car with his wallet. However, this pleasure to it the prices allow. In the States, a re-tailored Mazda 9 costs no more than $40,000.

If only Russia had such prices. Alas, in our country, the CX-9 of the Sport level configuration costs at least 1,919,000. Even participation in the action will not significantly affect this amount. The maximum discount that car dealers can offer this summer is no more than 70,000 rubles.

Japanese cars have always attracted attention with their design and high technology. At the end of the last century, a fashion came for off-road vehicles, but at the same time maintaining the comfort and appearance of familiar sedans. The specialists of the Japanese corporation Mazda did not lag behind fashion and released crossovers, which from the first products became worthy competitors to the SUVs of the world's leading manufacturers.

Crossover "Mazda CX-3"

The Japanese crossover with the CX-3 index was presented at the Los Angeles Auto Show in the fall of 2014 and went on sale the following year. This is a five-door SUV class K1. So far, this SUV is the most compact of the entire range, but, like previous models, it has the Kodo design philosophy and SkyActive technology.

For the Mazda CX-3 crossover, manufacturers used a new type of paint. This is a ceramic metallic that gives unique effects in different lighting conditions. The dimensions of the SUV are 4.275 × 1.765 × 1.55 m. The clearance of the urban SUV is 160 mm. It is made of high-strength and ultra-high-strength (29%) steels.

The interior has no new touches, but the car has an upgraded Mazda Connect and an i-Activsense safety package. Japanese manufacturers thought about the convenience of communication for all passengers of the car and the view from the second row of seats, shifting the rear seats closer to the center.

The power plant, depending on the market, may include a 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G gasoline engine with 120 hp. With. and two boost options, a 1.5-liter Skyactiv-D diesel engine with 105 liters. With. and manual transmission or automatic transmission Skyactiv-Drive in all-wheel drive or front-wheel drive versions.

Reviews about the crossover CX-3

Feedback from our drivers is mostly positive. The lack of sound insulation is the trouble of all cars of the famous Japanese concern. The Mazda CX-3 is a crossover originally designed for the city and, judging by the impressions, for a family with children. The space behind the front seats can only be comfortable for children. Adult passengers cannot comfortably place their feet and bang their heads against the ceiling.

Crossover "Mazda CX-5"

In the fall of 2011, fans of Japanese cars saw the Mazda CX-5 at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

The basic equipment is rich (this is what distinguishes all Mazda crossovers) and includes ABS and ESP security systems, a full set of airbags, power accessories, an audio system with MP3 support, air conditioning, tire pressure sensors, push-button engine start, cruise control, rear view camera , Hands Free and more.

The power unit is a two-liter gasoline engine with 150 hp. With. and 160 l. With. or 2.5 liters and 192 liters. With. respectively. You can also equip the SUV with a 2.2-liter diesel engine with a capacity of 150 and 175 hp. With. with a six-speed manual transmission and automatic transmission in front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions. Depending on the version, up to 100 km / h, the crossover accelerates in a maximum of 9.8 seconds. Fuel consumption per 100 km with a combined cycle is from 6.2 to 6.9 liters.

Restyling Mazda CX-5

The restyled model "Mazda CX-5" was presented three years later in Los Angeles. The SUV made a special impression in the spring of 2015.

The exterior of the car is slightly different. The LED main optics, the radiator grille, the design of the rims have changed, and turn signal repeaters were installed on the side mirrors. In addition, noise insulation has been improved, the MZD Connect multimedia system has been upgraded, a seven-inch touch screen and an electronic parking brake have appeared. The automatic transmission is complemented by a sport mode, it can be installed with any of the engines.

2 liter petrol engine with 150 horsepower. With. installed with manual transmission and automatic transmission on front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions. It is possible to install a 2.5-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 192 liters. with., as well as a diesel engine with a volume of 2.2 liters and a capacity of 175 liters. With. with automatic transmission

Experts poetically describe the exterior of the Mazda crossover. The SUV looks aggressive and dynamic. The design philosophy "KODO - the soul of movement" has found expression in this crossover by repeating the outlines of a cheetah, crouched on its front legs, ready to jump.

Reviews about the crossover CX-5

Reviews do not suffer from such poetry. With a lot of positive qualities of an SUV that are important for Russian roads and climatic conditions (CX-5 holds a snowy road well, a clearance of more than 200 mm, a clear steering wheel, a balanced suspension), some but are also called. Rigid suspension, insufficient sound insulation, long warm-up of the interior in winter, the wipers' rest area is not heated, a small luggage compartment, fuzzy instrument brightness control, headlights do not turn off automatically, insufficient visibility from the rear-view mirrors - this is all maybe trifles. But Mazda is a crossover, the price of which is quite high compared to, for example, Korean counterparts, so drivers want to see the CX-5 close to ideal.

Crossover "Mazda CX-7"

Mazda CX-7 has sleek lines, athletic design and sporty elements. The car began its life journey in early 2006 at the Los Angeles Auto Show. He had no analogues. The mid-size crossover combined the design features of a sports car, excellent performance, practicality and a high level of comfort. And this is despite the many nodes borrowed from other models: all-wheel drive - Mazda 6, front and rear suspension - MPV and Mazda 3. The crossover underwent restyling in 2009 and was discontinued in 2012.

The SUV is equipped with 2.3-liter gasoline engines with a capacity of 238 liters. With. and 6-speed automatic transmission. High power has a downside - the car is very voracious. For 100 km, he could burn 20 liters of gasoline on city roads. And given that the fuel tank holds only 69 liters of fuel, it was risky to travel long distances from gas stations.

And the maximum speed declared by the manufacturer is low for cars of this class - only 180 km / h. True, the acceleration dynamics are excellent - the CX-7 reaches 100 km / h in just 8.3 seconds.

The dimensions of the crossover are 4.7 × 1.87 × 1.645 m, the clearance is quite high - 205 mm.

The trunk is small - 455 liters, if the rear seats are folded - 1.67 thousand liters.

The basic package includes a keyless engine start system, power steering, power windows, xenon head optics and front fog lights, a powerful air conditioner, an audio system that supports not only mp3, but also CD and DVD, monitor, parking sensors, rear and side view cameras, cruise -control.

The Cruising Package version has a leather interior with heated front seats and child seat mounts. Crossovers "Mazda" are characterized by increased safety. The CX-7 was no exception. Front and optional side airbags, active head restraints, anti-lock and anti-slip systems, electronic stability control and an auxiliary brake ensure safe travel.
