2015 Mazda CX-5: Price And Features For Australia

Australia’s top-selling SUV last year is now more appealing, with Mazda launching its updated CX-5 for 2015.

Officially unveiled at last year’s LA Auto Show, the updated midsizer now features refreshed styling and safety improvements, along with new interior appointments and a lower starting price than last year.

Thanks to Australia’s free trade agreement with Japan, pricing now ranges from $27,190 (down $610) for the 2.0 litre front-wheel-drive Maxx with manual transmission, to $50,610 for the Akera automatic all-wheel-drive diesel; plus on-road costs.

The 2015 CX-5 continues with the same engines from last year featuring Mazda’s SKYACTIV technology, including two naturally-aspirated petrol units and a single turbo-diesel option. 

A 2.0 litre petrol unit with 114kW/200Nm kicks off the range, available only with FWD Maxx models and the exclusive engine option for buyers seeking the six-speed manual transmission.
