Following their world debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show last year, the facelifted Mazda CX-5 and Mazda6 are now revealed for the first time in Europe at the Geneva Motor Show.
The two models have received light styling upgrades that bring them up to date with Mazda’s newest vehicles. In the case of the refreshed Mazda6, changes include a new front grille, signature wing design, new LED headlamps and an LED signature for the taillights.
There’s also a new shark fin antenna, darker 19-inch aluminum wheels with high-gloss paint, and two new colors, Sonic Silver Metallic and Titanium Flash Mica.
The cabin gets a restyled instrument panel and floor console, as well as the addition of Mazda Connect, the brand’s next-generation car connectivity system. Another update is the Electrical Parking Brake (EPB), the first of its kind for Mazda.
The engine lineup is carried over unchanged and includes the 2.0-liter petrol offered in two states of tune (145PS and 165PS) and the 2.2-liter diesel which also comes in two flavors – 150PS and 175PS.
As for the CX-5 SUV, the facelift brings similar styling and equipment updates, while the diesel engines are the same from the Mazda6. There are two petrol units on offer: a 2.0-liter with 160PS (AWD) or 165PS (FWD) and a 2.5-liter with 192PS.
The CX-5 and Mazda6 were joined by the smaller CX-3 crossover and Mazda2 supermini.
